If it gets a hold, its bite attack automatically hits.  In the second round of a hold, the victim may attempt to break free, but if he is unsuccessful the troll will bite him twice in that round.  The troll will drop its victim if hit by an attack that deals 8 or more hit points of damage.   Regeneration (Ex): Fire and acid deal normal damage to a rock troll.   Missile Deflection (Ex): By using one of its claw attacks, a rock troll can deflect ranged attacks made against it.  Small missiles such as arrows, crossbow bolts, sling bullets, darts and the like are considered AC 30 for this attack; thrown weapons such as javelins, spears, throwing axes, daggers, clubs, hammers, and shuriken are considered AC 33. Boulders thrown by giants or falling from above must be caught with both hands and are considered AC 32.  Missiles hurled by large machines, such as catapults or ballistae, cannot be deflected, and will automatically hit a rock troll that tries to deflect one.   Camouflage (Ex): The skin of a rock troll can change its coloration to various shades of brown and gray, providing the troll with a +8 racial bonus to Hide checks in rocky terrain.   Earth Magic Vulnerability (Ex): Rock trolls are destroyed instantly by a transmute rock to mud or passwall spell if they are in the area of effect, if they fail a Fortitude save (DC 20).The rock troll first appeared in Dragon Magazine #141 (1989, “The Dragon’s Bestiary”, Linda Hankins).</blockquote>
