Skóug Trolls — Size and Lore in Trollheim Gnomes

Skóug Trolls are among the best-known Väsen named on Steam for TROLLHEIM: GNOMES. Official spelling uses Skóug (ó). The dev diary says they stand three meters tall above you, a Sprýg Gnome of about 10 cm, and calls them perhaps the most well-known of the Väsen you will meet.

How tall are Skóug Trolls?

The 2026-10-30 Dev Diary — The World Building of TROLLHEIM: GNOMES states Skóug Trolls stand at three meters tall above you—a fixed lore size, not a gameplay stat card. The studio has not published HP, damage, or weak points in announcements.

What role do Skóug Trolls play in the story?

The same diary says Skóug Trolls became beacons of hope and guidance when they entered the Dark Forest, and would continue to be so long after. That wording does not tie their arrival to other plot beats on a timeline.

For Troll Queen Hilda—mentioned in the diary after this passage, with no statement that she rules the Skóug—see Väsen overview.

Will you fight or befriend Skóug Trolls?

The Steam store promises Väsen that may attack on sight or join you by the campfire if calmed—language for the full game vision. The November 2026 technical playtest removes befriending Väsen until Early Access, and not every Väsen appears in the test client. Treat any Skóug behaviour you see in the playtest as work-in-progress.

Report odd spawning with location and map screenshots per the 2026-11-12 known-issues list. Join details: playtest guide.

How do Skóug Trolls relate to Rotinn?

The dev diary links the forest’s mood to Rotinn, decay that can corrupt flora, fauna, and Väsen, often showing as tiny white mushrooms. Corrupted Väsen may become ill-intentioned and easily agitated. That is a world-level threat, not a Skóug-only mechanic. Read Rotinn and decay for the full official wording.
