A Spectral Troll is a race of troll that is similar to, but not to be mistaken for, a Spirit Troll. Unlike most trolls, these varieties are highly intelligent. They have a faded or semi-transparent appearance, shifting and ill-defined at the edges of their lanky frame. As such, the giant humanoids are difficult to hit with weaponry and missile fire. In the game, the creatures are not classified as undead, as they are in the 2nd edition Dungeons and Dragons lore.
These creatures strike with long sinewy limbs and sharp piercing claws that hit as +3 enchanted items, and inflict 2d6 piercing damage, which are also modified by their above average strength.
Due to their spectral ties, these trolls require magical weapons in order to strike them.
Spectral Trolls have a movement modifier that boosts their walking gait to above that of a normal human by a little more than 20%.
Like a normal troll, they regenerate damage at 1 HP per second. Upon being reduced to 1 hit point they are rendered unconscious, there is a brief span of time to permanently kill the creature by means of fire or acid damage, otherwise they rapidly regenerate and rise to fight again.
