A black troll, T, is a type of monster that appears in SLASH'EM, SlashTHEM and Hack'EM. It is the strongest type of troll that can be encountered in those variants.
A black troll has three strong attacks: a weapon attack, a claw attack and a bite attack. In SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM, black trolls hit as a +3 weapon.
Tame black trolls may turn traitor.
Generation
Randomly generated two-headed trolls are always generated hostile. Black trolls only randomly generate in Gehennom, though they are also a valid form for normal polymorph.
Grund's Stronghold has a 1⁄5 chance of generating a black troll at level creation.
A black troll has a 1⁄2 chance of being generated with a ranseur, partisan, glaive, or spetum, with an equal probability of each polearm.
Origin
A troll is a being that appears in Norse mythology and later Scandinavian folklore. In Old Norse sources, beings described as trolls dwell in isolated areas of rock, mountains, or caves, living together in small family units, and were rarely helpful to human beings - the Old Norse nouns troll and trǫll are variously used to mean "fiend", "demon", "werewolf", and "jötunn". The trolls of NetHack are derived from Dungeons & Dragons, whose portrayal of them is partly inspired by Poul Anderson novel Three Hearts and Three Lions.
