Here are 4 Trolloc bodies (with at total of 14 heads) & a Myrddraal head (for use with the existing human body types in NWN2), inspired by the Wheel of Time book series.
Please see the readme file for information about installing them.
Future updates will be made when I create new heads to use with the existing bodies found in this hak, so check back every now and then to see what's been added.
Thanks!
(Note: Please be aware that the Wolf trolloc is loosely based on a trolloc named Narg from the books. Narg had goat horns, hooves, and a wolf's head. Just an FYI, no need to email me or comment on it).

Version History
*******************
(10/19/09) Version 1.1 - Made the trollocs fully tintable (see trollocs_v11.rar below for the tintable version).
(1/19/10) Version 2.0 - Added a new goat and ram head. Also made the "Trolloc_Hoof" and "Trolloc_Bear" bodies cross compatible in terms of heads, so heads that were exclusive to one body type can now be used with the other. Also added Wheel of Time creature portraits.
VERSION 2.O - Added new heads and cross compatibility between the "Trolloc_Hoof" and "Trolloc_Bear" models. You can now freely swap heads between the two for a possible 14 unique Trollocs. Also added Wheel of Time creature portraits for each character.

I'd vote any custom character work a 10, but these are awesome quality as well... and just in time for the new book. Nice work. _________________________ Freelance Dragonlance Creator
Ogier heads are planned for the Half Orc model, but that's in the future. Soon, I hope.
Mike,
Robert Jordan, the author of the Wheel of Time series, never mentioned anything about crocodiles, but that's not to say they couldn't exist. Trollocs are made from the animal stock of aggressive animals, and crocs definitely fit that bill. I don't plan on doing any crocodile trollocs though. Sorry.

Great to see any new models, especially in packs. I bet these would make great Beastmen. I don't suppose there are any Trollocs with crocodile bodies and crocodile heads. Could really use a were-crocodile model. _________________________ The road to Ravenloft is paved with good intentions.

Awesome. More models are always good and WoT creatures are a nice touch. What next? Oiger?

Awesome... and pretty fast! O_o You can be sure that this trollocs will be used in my spanish PW, "La isla de los Grifos", as RuneQuest broos (our background is the Griffin Island RQ campaign) and we will give you the credit you deserve ^_^ Thank you very much, I'll raise my vote now that this wonderful creatures can be used for a lot of things!
Great, Charloulou. I hope they help you out somewhat :)
Malchir, Now that I've played with it I'm pretty sure I can have the tint maps finished today some time. Unfortunately I have to work (24 hour shifts), so I won't be able to upload them until tomorrow. Depending on how long it takes NWVault to approve the update, the tintable version should be available in a day or so.
I don't know Wheel of Time but one thing is sure, your work is a really good contribution ! I'm admin of a pw and my worst fear is player be bored, with some new creature, I'm sure they won't ! _________________________ Fanelya
Well I've been playing with tinting the Bear Trolloc and I think I understand how it works. The only problem is that the armor is so dark that the colors you tint them to become very dark too. Almost to the point that you can't even tell they've been tinted unless you look really close. I will have to really brighten up the base texture colors in order for these to be tintable in a way that everyone will be happy with. Give me a few days and I'll upload an alternative hak that's tintable.

Good to have it finally! A great work for PW with Wheel of Time background, but if you could make them tintable we can use them to simulate other criatures (like broos in RQ setups). I don't know how much work this will be, but it will be great ^_^ Anyway, as I said: great work!
I should probably edit the description so people understand why the wolf shares goat legs with the others. You're not the first one to bring it up. In the Eye of the World there is a good description of a trolloc named Narg that has a wolf's head, goat horns, and hooves. That's why I created him that way. Trollocs can be made up from a wider variety of mixed animal parts then what I used here. But I think the hoof thing is going to throw people off quite a bit unless they've read the series :)
They are dark like that because I made the textures that way. Trollocs wear black plate and mail armor. I didn't add an option to tint them, although I may update this with tints if people really want it. I just didn't see the sense in it since my source material (The Wheel of Time) never mentions trollocs wearing anything other then black armor.
