One of three sapient species native to the Gjor III (Adventure Path #8: Escape from the Prison Moon 41) in the Azlanti vassal system of Gjor, tromlins are a bellicose people divided into two distinct subspecies who warred for ages on the plains and forest floors of Gjor III. The bloodseeker strain is a bipedal, reptilian humanoid, while tromlin hardshells are natural quadrupeds. This ancient war is egged on by belief in tribes of warring spirits. Bloodseekers kill and eat any being too weak to oppose them, while herbivorous hardshells fight against their flesh-eating kin.

Head Frill
A hardshell tromlin’s head frill is a bony plate used for self-defense. As a move action, the tromlin can align the frill against one opponent they’re observing, granting the tromlin a +1 shield bonus to AC against attacks from that opponent until the start of the tromlin’s next turn. A tromlin hardshell proficient with shields (Character Operations Manual 124–126) can wear a fitted shield on their frill. The tromlin can wield and align this fitted shield without a free hand, reducing any armor check penalty the shield imposes by 1. A fitted shield costs 10% more than a normal shield of its kind.
