Trolls are basically beefier, nastier versions of Minotaurs who happen to regenerate. The regeneration is nothing to worry about, but might clue D&D fans into the Troll's seemingly strange weakness to Fire. They have too many HP and too much Magic Defense for that weakness to be worth exploiting, though. Their attacks deal moderate damage, but they make three of them in a turn, so they are worth taking out quickly.

Sea Trolls only attack once, and not very hard, so they can be ignored while you deal with their numerous minions. They are a bit more resistant to magic than the Sea Snakes and Sea Scorpions they often appear with, so if you're using Spells to combat them, you may want to direct physical attacks at the Sea Trolls.

TROLLS are basically beefier, nastier versions of BULLS. Fire Spells are effective if you can spare them, but a straightforward physical attack will get the job done as well. You don't want to let them hang around and use their nasty triple attack against your mages.
