Dire trolls are not actually trolls at all. However they share many of the same traits as the smaller and more well known humanoids. As a result the average person equates the two and so the monster has become known as a breed of troll. They are just as fearsome as the normal troll and are even more deadly.  They are almost always encountered on their own, and they only come together to mate and then they separate again. They have a taste for sapient flesh and often attack isolated villages looking for their favorite treats.
