- After your End Phase begins: The Marsh Troll devours anything in sight. Target another card in its unit. Destroy the target. If this effect destroys this Personality, before this card is destroyed, the player to your right may attach this card to one of his Personalities, ignoring Gold cost. If he did not, repeat the previous effect for each player to the right of the previous one until a player attaches it or each player other than you declines the option. (If everyone declined the option, this card is destroyed normally.)

Rulings
- Erratum: Reads, "Marsh Troll 4F/0C 0HR 5G -PH 3FV Shadowlands. Creature. During your endphase, Marsh Troll destroys (devours) one other card in its unit (your choice). If the Troll devours the attached Personality, the player to your right may attach him to one of his Personalities. If declined, the next player to the right may attach the Troll, and so on. If no player wants the Troll, it is destroyed." [MRP, Obsidian Edition, August 1997] Rules Archive, August 18, 2007, p. 45
- Clarified: may not destroy themselves. Text Change & Errata List, February 15, 2000, p. 9
- Q: The Marsh Troll says it "destroys one card in its unit". Since it doesn't say "one othern card", can I have it destroy itself? A: No. Legend of the Five Rings FAQ, Version 3.4 & errata, June 1997, p. 17
