Easily Misled The two-headed troll takes a –4 circumstance penalty to their Perception DC against Deception checks.

Independent Brains Each of a two-headed troll's heads rolls their own initiative and has their own turn. Neither head can Delay. At the start of a head's turn, that head gets 2 actions and 1 reaction. Each brain controls one arm, but both can move the legs. Any ability or item that would sever a two-headed troll's head (such as a vorpal weapon) doesn't cause the two-headed troll to die if they still have their other head, but does cause them to lose the turns, actions, and reactions of the severed head. Mental effects that target a single creature affect only one of the troll's heads.

Head Regrowth A two-headed troll's regeneration can regrow a severed head. After regaining Hit Points from regeneration, the two-headed troll attempts a DC 10 Flat. On a success, a missing head is fully restored. If a two-headed troll loses their last remaining head, they die immediately.
