Orm monster 961

newmonster   "Orm"
descr        "Being one of the largest creatures in Elysium, the trolls like everything large, from caves to partners to pets. The troll mother will seek out the largest of snakes to keep as pets. Though she will only seek them out one by one, and lure them by filling pits in the marches with a broth of mushrooms and dead humanoids, she seem to prefer to keep her Orms, as the large dragon-like snake is called, in pairs. This is possibly because trolls have simple minds and can neither devote enough time to develop a deep bond with just one pet, nor can they count beyond two, so pairs are easiest on their small minds.^The skin of the Orm is enough to dress a small army, so it is a coveted asset among commanders that want their soldiers to wear light but sturdy armors. For that reason it is popular among army commanders, even in peacetime,  to try to lure a troll mother and her pets into a trap. This will cost quite a few soldiers to the mercenaries hired but such is the fate of mercenaries. The exception being if one of the pets is a Linnorm, in which case the whole army is lost. "
