The Rumpelstiltskin Troll

Here's a type of monster from our first international writer.

Rumpelstiltskin Troll

The Rumpelstilskin Troll is short, only 3 feet tall. He is grumpy and smelly – he takes baths in slime.

He has metal teeth (he was enchanted, meant to be temporary, but his teeth stayed metal).

He runs behind his victims and uses his horns on their legs. They are covered with poison that he gets from his two belly buttons (that are spaced so his horns fit in nicely when he bends over). When his victims have fallen he uses his mace with spikes.

He has short legs but he is very fast.

He has slime in his nose and is always sniffing.

Sydney's used something the monster does (bathing in slime) to show how revolting it is, as well stating that it's grumpy and smelly. This in an effective way of increasing the yuck factor.

Its metal teeth make it extra scary but I like the fact that it gets poison from its two belly buttons because that adds a light-hearted touch to an otherwise frightening scenario.
