Troll enemy line

The Troll, Cave Troll, and Brutal Troll are enemies randomly battled throughout the Golden Sun series. These monsters resemble burly humanlike monsters wielding an axe in the GBA games and a pair of hand axes in Dark Dawn, and they are palette swapped variants of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought at different locations in the games. In all games in the series at present, this is the only traditional enemy line that regenerates HP at the end of every turn.

In Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age

Troll

For the Troll Psynergy, see Wild Wolf Psynergy set.

A Troll (トロル) is a tan variant that is level 7 in Golden Sun and level 9 in The Lost Age. In Golden Sun, Trolls are fought in Kolima Forest and the subsequent Tret Tree dungeon as well as in both sections of Bilibin Cave; in The Lost Age, they are first fought in the Madra Catacombs and subsequently in the western portion of Osenia.

In the first game, it is quite a bit more durable and powerful than the other monsters fought in Kolima Forest, especially considering its Brute Force attack, but it is also very slow. It is the main enemy to look out for until you get to Tret Tree, where it is roughly equivalent to the monsters Creeper and Gnome. The same things can be said about its threat level in its initial appearance in Madra Catacombs and how in Osenia other monsters are equal to it, perhaps being even more dangerous than it, such as the Dino.

A Troll is especially likely to be affected by HP-draining effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Name	HP	PP	Attack	Defense	Agility	Luck
Troll	101	0	73	16	14	1
Elemental Resistances and Levels			Exp	Coins	Item Dropped	Drop Rate
72 (Lv 0)   48 (Lv 1)   48 (Lv 0)   25 (Lv 0)			30	53	Nut	1/32

A Troll regenerates 10 HP at the end of every turn.

A Troll uses the following battle commands with low intelligence:

Command	Chance to use	Elem. Stats used with *	Description
Attack	6/8 (75%)	--	Standard physical attack.
Brute Force	2/8 (25%)	100 Power	Enemy ability where the user suffuses itself with an aura of gold energy and charges into a single Adept. Deals a Venus-aligned standard physical attack with 22 damage points added to the end result.

Cave Troll

A Cave Troll (ケーブトロル) is a cyan variant that is level 16 in Golden Sun and level 23 in The Lost Age. In Golden Sun, Cave Trolls are only fought in Vault Cave; in The Lost Age, they are only fought in Taopo Swamp.

In its appearances in both Golden Sun and The Lost Age, it is the most powerful and durable monster among the monsters in Vault Cave and Taopo Swamp, but the slowest as well, so focusing your attacks on it so that it is downed before you get hit is a valid approach.

A Cave Troll is especially likely to be affected by HP-draining effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Name	HP	PP	Attack	Defense	Agility	Luck
Cave Troll	212	0	199	45	44	3
Elemental Resistances and Levels			Exp	Coins	Item Dropped	Drop Rate
72 (Lv 0)   48 (Lv 1)   48 (Lv 0)   25 (Lv 0)			106	134	Nut	1/16

A Cave Troll regenerates 20 HP at the end of every turn.

A Cave Troll uses the following battle commands with low intelligence:

Brutal Troll

A Brutal Troll (ブルータルトロル) is a larger, violet level 21 variant. In Golden Sun, Brutal Trolls are fought throughout the overworld region of Gondowan between Gondowan Passage and the town Lalivero, as well as throughout Suhalla Desert.

In the overworld area it is fought, it plays the same role as its earlier counterparts, being the strongest and most durable monster among the monsters fought alongside it, but the slowest as well. In Suhalla Desert, while it still has the highest attack capability by a slight margin among the monsters fought randomly in the area, the Magicore is both even sturdier and faster.

A Brutal Troll is especially likely to be affected by HP-draining effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Name	HP	PP	Attack	Defense	Agility	Luck
Brutal Troll	291	0	273	63	76	6
Elemental Resistances and Levels			Exp	Coins	Item Dropped	Drop Rate
72 (Lv 0)   48 (Lv 1)   48 (Lv 0)   25 (Lv 0)			150	190	Nut	1/16

A Brutal Troll regenerates 30 HP at the end of every turn.
