Mountain trolls live in and around Trollheim. There are several troll variants, all with the same drops and life points. There are also two named trolls called Twig and Berry on the bottom floor of Troll Stronghold, and troll spectators, which feature in the Troll Stronghold quest.

The Troll Race

Main article: Troll

The race of mountain trolls are huge, muscular and dull. They are dim-witted, and are less creative and more reclusive and aggressive than ogres. It is unknown if they have any sort of organised religion, like the ogres, whether they just follow their noses, or whether the concept of the gods is simply beyond their level of comprehension. They have no magics, and the most advanced technology they have is very poor and outdated on the standards of other races. Their weaponry seems to include mostly simple clubs, an example of how they are lacking technologically.

It also appears that the trolls are quite mysterious, as many scholars wonder why the trolls never died out long ago, as their lack of intelligence and their high level of aggressiveness would seem to point out that their tribes and species' would fight one another.

The trolls are usually seen as an evil race, and in the God Wars they possibly fought in Bandos' army, but most likely didn't, since evidence suggests that they were underground at the time initiating the Keldagrim-Troll Country War. The trolls also are tribal, and they may have once shared a common ancestor with ogres and such, but Bandos may have split them depending on rank. The trolls, after the God Wars, moved high up into the mountains. They are known enemies of the dwarves and humans in the area, whom they frequently skirmish with on the borders to the cities from the mountains looking to capture humans to devour.

Mountain trolls enjoy eating humans and most commonly their cooks Burntmeat, and Ash boil them alive in cauldrons into stews, whereas Dung prefers them fried.

Strategy and Advantages

“	The last Mountain troll I killed I found water spells took them down effectively. Trolls regenerate quickly but are still vulnerable to poisons. They usually use crushing weapons. Perhaps you should head to the snowy islands where these creatures are both fierce and aggressive.	”
— Chaeldar

Mountain trolls attack with melee. Due to their relatively large size and the mountainous terrain, they can often be safespotted easily. However, some reside along aggressive thrower trolls that attack with ranged.

Alternatively, you can safespot troll generals, which are located within the Troll Stronghold. They provide more experience and are even easier to safespot them as they are even larger and contained in small spaces, although they are stronger than regular trolls.

It should also be noted that Slayer Masters such as Sumona give trolls as a Slayer task very often. This is disliked by many players, so if you happen to get them as a Slayer task and don't have a high task streak, it is recommended to block them (requires 100 Slayer points). Or kill the troll brutes, troll shamans or troll chuckers in the Abandoned Burthorpe mine for a fast task completion.

Another place to attack mountain trolls is the tunnel outside Keldagrim as this does not need quest requirements to access.
