{{flavour|The stiff and knobbly hide of a troll, with magical regenerative properties. It may be turned into armour by magical means.

----

"THE TROLL KING: Now, listen, Prince Peer, and give way to reason! 
You're cut out for a troll. Why, look, already 
You bear yourself quite in a troll-like fashion! 
And you want to become one, don't you? 
PEER GYNT: Of course. 
In return for a bride and a well-found kingdom 
I'm not unwilling to sacrifice something; 
But all things have a natural limit. 
I have taken a tail, it is true; but, then, 
I can undo the knots that our friend has tied 
And take the thing off. I have shed my breeches; 
They were old and patched; but that won't prevent me 
From putting them on if I have a mind to. 
I shall probably find it just as easy 
To deal with your Trollish way of living. 
I can easily swear that a cow's a maiden; 
An oath's not a difficult thing to swallow. 
But to know that one never can get one's freedom – 
Not even to die as a human being – 
To end one's days as a Troll of the mountains – 
Never go back, as you tell me plainly – 
That is a thing that I'll not submit to."

-Henrik Ibsen, _Peer Gynt_. 1867.}}
Butchering a [[troll]] [[corpse]] may produce a '''troll hide'''. This "[[armour]]" increases your [[regeneration rate]] by +40, but only provides the [[AC]] of a [[robe]] and has an encumbrance rating, making it a rather poor item defensively. However, you can transform it into a far superior [[troll leather armour]] by using a [[scroll of enchant armour]] on it. This provides the same boost to regeneration, but with a much better AC.

[[Deep dwarves]], [[troll]]s, and bloodless [[vampire]]s receive no regenerative benefits while wearing this armour.

==Tips & Tricks==
Butchering [[Purgy]] or [[Snorg]] may produce a named troll hide, but this has no impact on actual gameplay.

==History==
In [[0.19]], troll hide was removed along with several other hides.

Prior to [[0.14]], troll hides only increased your regeneration rate by +30.
