Trolls are a class of monster in NetHack. They are notable because the corpses of dead trolls will revive (as do the endgame Riders). For that reason, trolls are one of the more annoying monsters.
The troll, T, is also the least powerful monster of this class. Other types of troll include ice trolls, rock trolls, water trolls and Olog-hai.
There are a large number of ways to kill a troll permanently, many of which fall into the general category of putting the corpse inside something:
- Eat the corpse (but the troll may revive while you are eating it).
- Let a pet eat the corpse (has the advantage that it will disappear as soon as the pet starts to eat).
- Tin the corpse.
- Lock the corpse in a container.
- Sacrifice the corpse.
- Throw the corpse into lava or water (if it isn't a water troll) and it will drown as soon as it revives.
- Just keep killing the troll, and eventually it will fail to revive (approximately a 25% chance each time you kill it).
- Kill the troll with a level-draining weapon, and once it has been drained to level 0 it will lose the ability to revive.
- Completely fill the level with monsters so that the troll has nowhere to revive.
- Push a boulder on top of the corpse.
- Find or dig a pit, place the corpse in, and push in a boulder to bury it.
