The most common form of Troll

  • Also known as Dark Trolls.
  • Their name is a combination of Uz and Ko, meaning Pain (ie Komor or Hurtplace)
  • They evolved from the Uzuz after the Battle of Hanroo Field.
  • They are the dominant type of troll on the surface world.
  • They are better adapted at living in Hurtplace than the Uzuz.
  • Their digestive system is more specialized and can make maximum use of plant and animal foodstuffs. *Their Darksense is not as good as the Mistress Race, but they have functional eyes that help in open spaces, heights, and depths.
  • Their sense of smell is far superior to the Mistress Race.
  • Females generally have two breasts.
  • Before the Curse of Kin, dark troll females occasionally bore twins or triplets.
  • Since then, all multiple births are deemed trollkin.
  • About 30% of any normal troll community consists of dark trolls, the remainder being trollkin with a smattering of great trolls.
  • Many wild troll families consist of dark trolls only.
  • Both Great Trolls and Trollkin are born to dark troll mothers, though the reverse is not true.
  • They live throughout Genertela and Jrustela, and in the Tarmo Mountains of Pamaltela
