      Well, if he encountered this variety of Cave Troll, he would have been dead on the spot, I fear.
      This mf has pounce, rend, rake, a stunning claw and improved grab all in one. In translation this means, he charges out of the dark, up to 80ft, then gets his full attack(1d8+7 & 2x2d6+12). Also he gets an additional attack with his feet for 2d6+7. Oh, and if both claws hit, he deals 4d6+13 damage immediately. Then you may be stunned, if a claw hit you and also he can just immediately start grappling your potentially unconscious body.

They're in Eberron: Rising from the Last War and are (in that setting) created as a side-effect of casting spells in certain parts of the Mournland.

    I was lucky enough to have a relative who played during the 80s and I inherited a first edition AD&D monster manual, there are many gems inside of that thing (especially in the art Department) but the creature that was in there and stood out to me so profoundly dumb yet awesome was the Dragonne, it's a dragon but it has the head of a lion and a roar attack instead of a breath attack. It's simplistic and weird; and I've home-brewed one for 5E and thrown it at several groups.
