War Troll Boss – Top-Down 8-Direction Sprite (HD)
A downloadable asset pack
An HD boss for top-down games. A horned troll with a skull belt, bone skirt and spiked club, in two forms, every animation in all 8 directions, 356×292 px frames (plus 128 px copies), plus 2 effects.
Two attacks and five special moves
A war slam and a berserker charge, plus a club whirlwind, a berserker rush, a leaping slam, a charged slam and a two-hit combo, each in all 8 directions, aimed where the troll faces.
Animations (8 directions each)
- Movement: idle, walk, run
- Combat: attack (war slam), attack2 (berserker charge)
- Special moves: charged slam, two-hit combo, berserker rush, leaping slam and club whirlwind
- Reactions: hurt, death
Special moves
Both forms have five special moves, each in all 8 directions: charged slam, two-hit combo, berserker rush, leaping slam and club whirlwind. Each move is its own sheet with single frames, a JSON (feet pivot per direction, hit frames, travel for dashes and leaps) and a Godot 4 SpriteFrames file, using only this boss's own effects. Moves with effects also come as separate layers (effects behind, boss, effects in front).
Two forms
The enraged form glows red-hot, with a burning rim and a red aura. Both forms share one frame size and feet pivot, so you can switch to the enraged form at any moment, for example at half health.

FAQ
Which size should I use? The native 356×292 px or the 128 px copies; pick one scale for your camera.
Can I use it as a regular enemy? Yes. It is a full character with movement, attacks, hurt and death, so it works as an elite or a regular enemy too.
Does it match the other packs? Yes: every character in the series uses the same camera angle, light direction and finish, so the boss fits next to any pack.
