[size=150]Styggklodder, Mercenary Troll[/size]
Not much Might is required to pose a challenge for grogs (or magi, if they don't have extra sized corpus spells to deal with big human-ish enemies). This ugly creature can be the solution for the local lord. During a hunt he was whining to other nobles about these odd sorcerers on a tower inside his lands and how all attempts he tried to get them paying taxes had ended with his men coming back with their minds twisted, or turnt to pigs, or just seriously beaten, and a fellow mentioned him Styggklodder, a mercenary creature he had succesfully used time ago to deal with a similar problem. So the local lord had just hired the troll as a tax collector, and sent him to knock on the sorcerers' tower asking for his money.

Appareance: Styggklodder heights 12' and weights 1 ton, and is quite ugly (his name means “Ugly Boulder” in Norse).
Notes: he can charge through doors and barricades like they were made of straw. He was enlisted in Norway to fight a war in Man years ago, and since then had worked as a mercenary on the island. He is not only a temible foe, quite hard to damage and dangerous with a pole axe, but also easy to handle due to his follower mentality (well, at least when he isn't in berserk mode), so since his arrival to the Man he hadn't been unemployed for long.
He suffers when exposed to direct sunlight, so he uses to wrap himself in bandages and pieces of clothings like a giant lepper. Tales says that he would be turn to stone if exposed to direct sunlight, but that’s not true, though he would suffer a -3 penalty to all rolls under direct sunlight.
His flesh his flesh and bones are half made of stone, and he draws some powers from that Terram familiarity, like the abilities to break stuff or the ability to speak with stones.
