How would you describe Kodiak's body type?

Kodiak is built like a freaking tank.

Broad, muscled shoulders, solid chest, a lil softness to the gut but overall great abs. Thighs that could crush a skull. 

He’s a bear, for sure. Huge and looks softer than he really is. He’s got a layer of fat over the muscles of his abdomen, but he’s a wall. And 7 feet tall to boot.

which of your trolls could eat the most burritos in rapid succession

hmmmm

Probably Kodiak or Arnaav. 

Kodi is a huge dude, and he can put away food pretty well. Gotta fuel the body, after all.

Arnaav just. Is a lazy bum who eats all the time anyway.

Who is your scariest troll, and what can defeat them?

My scariest looking troll is my new guy Taquka, who I haven’t actually drawn or anything yet. But he’s 7 feet tall and a wall of muscle. He’s covered in scars and carries a pickaxe, and wrestles his kodiak bear lusus when he’s bored. At first, he seems really stern and serious. He’s not honestly that scary though once you get to know him, because he’s a big fuzzy ball of booming laughter and warmth. So I guess being nice can defeat him. Because he will instantly be nice right back. Physically, though? A really skilled, really sharp blade, or a gun. Dude’s a wall.

howeverrrr…

My scariest troll in terms of danger factor is probably Mactan. He has so many poisons and schemes up his sleeves (sometimes literally) that he’s managed to be a cannibal without anyone even realizing he’s killed people. Not to mention he is 5’ nothing and thin as a rail, so he’s terribly unassuming. And also a great actor when he wants to be. Add in that silvertongue of his and you’re basically dead as soon as he decides he’s done toying with you. He uses his moirail as a fear factor, and then tries to act like he’ll protect people from him, when in reality he’s just as dangerous. He gets off on the deception game and the power trip he gets from it, even with his own moirail, who is two feet taller than he is.

To defeat him? You’d have to be very perceptive and understand how poisons work as well as he does. Though he might just end up poisoning you right back before he dies. So total immunity to poison is a start. Good luck though. If a troll was really big and strong (like Saeper) they could probably physically knock him around and out quickly enough that he might not be able to do anything, but that would be difficult too because he’s fast. Anyone indigo or higher is safe though, because he holds very strongly to the hemospectrum, and refuses to harm anyone higher than himself. So that’s probably the best bet.

his name is taquka chenea, but he goes by kodiak.

he's got a big ol bear lusus that he wrestles sometimes, and he's an oliveblood. also a very traditional practitioner of Loa (from @bombshellparts and my SF au).

he lives waaaaay up in far northern Alternia. he's 7' tall and a wall of muscle, and at first glance he looks really stern and serious, but he's actually a really great dude.
