Rock trolls resemble their softer cousines, except that their hide is stony and gray, with rock-hard protrusions covering their bodies.

Combat
Rock trolls are extremely territorial and have a hatred for any creature that seeks to share their caves or mountain homes. They have a particular hatred for dwarves, who they will attack on sight.

Rend (Ex): If a rock troll hits with both claw attacks, it latches on to the opponent's body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an additional 2d6+9 points of damage.

Regeneration (Ex): Acid deals normal damage to a rock troll. If a rock troll loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. The creature can rattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump.

Meld into Stone (Su): Rock trolls can enter stone walls and floors at will, as if they had cast meld into stone. The troll is under the normal limitations of the spell, including being unable to move and having vulnerability to certain spells while melded.

Skills: Rock trolls gain a +4 bonus to Hide checks in stony or underground areas.
