Gruffin is an ancient mountain troll who has seen countless millennia pass within his domain in the towering Stonepeak Mountains. These colossal mountains provide Gruffin with the solitude and peace he desires, as he has developed a deep appreciation for tranquility. Gruffin stands at a staggering 12 feet tall and is built like a granite boulder, complete with a rough, craggy exterior. His moss-covered skin blends in seamlessly with the mountain terrain, making him nearly invisible unless he chooses to be seen. He has large, yellowed tusks protruding from his lower jaw and piercing, intelligent eyes that have witnessed countless civilizations rise and fall. Gruffin has a deep, rumbling voice and speaks in a slow, deliberate manner. Though he appears imposing, Gruffin is a contemplative and gentle soul, always willing to lend an ear to those who seek his guidance or a helping hand to a weary traveler.
