Throgg is a 
Norsca Legendary Lord unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer with Norsca (DLC). In the campaign, he leads the 
Wintertooth faction.
Description[]
At the heart of an icy labyrinth, in an area of Troll Country strewn with the gnawed corpses of once-mighty heroes, sits the Troll King, Throgg. With the filth-encrusted heirlooms of eaten warriors decorating his yellowed tusks, he strikes out from his wind-whipped wasteland home to ambush, despoil, and feast. On his heels follows the bitter cold of winter, and his subjects - stinking monsters, drooling mutants, and tormented madmen. The slaughter he leaves in his Wintry wake has earned him such infamy that every season, great and lauded heroes ride northwards to attempt to slay him – and every season, the Troll King dines on their flesh. Disenchanted with these incessant, petty challenges, Throgg vows to bring about an age of ice and darkness and make all races of the Old World his slaves.
Campaign Description[]
Immortal Empires[]
The Troll King comes to the Monolith of Flesh on the frozen shores of Norsca, where he will usher in the Age of the Beast.
Attributes[]
Hammer Infantry- ▲ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- ▲ Melee Expert: Melee Experts might have a very strong melee attack or melee defence, or high values in both. Some also have melee-focused skills like Charge Defence. Use them to counter other strong melee units. When facing them, it is best to take them out before they can enter melee.
- ▲ Frostbite: The intense cold cuts into the flesh and burns the foe's extremities, greatly reducing their speed.
- ▲ Regeneration: Regeneration allows a unit to heal while in battle. Fire is known to harm this healing process, so be warned that flaming attacks will cause more damage to units with Regeneration.

Strategy[]
Throgg's army is meant to having Trolls in the army, with the ability to grant them Horrible Regeneration for his army, allowing the dead Trolls to revive during battles along with Frenzy and extra melee defense. He also has lower upkeep for the Trolls, while global-recruiting them is easier for him.
Trivia[]
- In lore, Throgg is actually quite smart (for a Troll) and tends to be somewhat philosophical and intelligent, seeking to expand his kingdom of beast. This is not present in the games however, he seems to not be as intelligent as he is in lore.
