#now vätterunda is in a spot where they're not all that common but

[filurig]

to go along with the tomte redo, have some trolls, they also have a new subspecies!

some extra info below,

they are not physically capable of vocalization in the same way humans do it and therefore cannot speak human languages. their own language is a mixture of physical signs and vocalizations - the way it functionally works is that vocalisations can change the nature of a sign. for example, they do not have any form of pronoun, they simply have a sign for "personhood" and then a vocalisation that specifies who they're referring to

the biggest point of sexual dimorphism is that males tend to be larger than females

they are carnivores for the most part but supplements their diets with berries, roots etc.

they do not hibernate like their cousins!

they tend to be aggressive towards tomtar and sometimes hunt them, but this isn't an instinctual behaviour. rather, it is culturally absorbed

very averse to humans, but usually not aggressive unless they feel the human in question threatens them/their territory/their family unit etc.
