Termagant Trog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Termagent Trogs are a fictional species of humanoids derived from The Edge Chronicles, a series of books created by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell.
Termagant Trogs are creatures that worship the "Mother Bloodoak", a large Bloodoak Tree. The females have orange hair and pale skin, and the males are lanky and have bulbous features, and also lack hair. When they turn termagant by drinking from the roots of the mother bloodoak, they grow in size, lose their hair and become extremely ferocious, somewhat resembling The Incredible Hulk. The males once led a revolt against the females, but they failed miserably. Maugin, one of the protagonists in The Edge Chronicles and the stone pilot for Twig and his father, is a Termagant Trog who has never consumed the Mother Bloodoak's flow of blood, so she resembles a young girl (even though she is nearly as old as Twig's father).
