The Troggoths are a group of races with regenerative abilities, a corrosive bile that can be vomited as a weapon and very tiny brains that can only think of violence. These creatures come out from under bridges, the decaying veins of mountains and the silt of river bottoms to destroy. Many regions of the Mortal Realms are plagued by these creatures, the destruction their violent packs cause seen on the ruins of merchant caravans and villages. These misbegotten children of Gorkamorka are born in the gruel of where the light of Azyr doesn't shine. They are drawn from these the deep dark places by the call to war, joining the many orruk clans that goad them into battle.[1]

Uses
Alchemy
The regenerative properties and strange secretions of troggoths mean that various bits of them - most commonly skin,[7a] bones,[8a] or blood[6b] - are listed as ingredients in various alchemical concoctions. The exact amount of processing the troggoth parts undergo in the process (and the level of safety of the resulting pill or potion) can vary greatly; some may even suggest drinking raw troggoth blood for its supposed healing properties, though it generally causes horrible bloating.[6b] Proper rendering of troggoth fat can produce an extremely slick (and smelly) grease.[6a]
Other Uses
Fyreslayers are known to use leather made from troggoth hides.[9]
