A relative of trolls, this species has a deep innate connection with magic, and replenishes its magical energy with unnatural speed. Despite their size and strength, they take poorly to fighting. “Moon troll” is merely a working title, and probably not a good choice for the actual name, but being related to trolls sounds appropriate.
Sounds more as an archon or djinn species to me, pure mental/magic beings. — roderic 2011-11-14 17:02I like that idea, but I had the thought that one could call this race “Deep Troll” as the “deep” prefix seems to denote a more magic-based creature. Deep Trolls as monsters could be made spellcasters as well? — roctavian 2011-11-23 19:28Real Norse Trolls are skilled with magic in the first place. For example, the modern Norwegian word for magician is “trollman”. You might try looking up the related Norse “Huldre/Huldra” and see if it's what you have in mind.
