The Loa are a loose pantheon of primal forces worshipped by trolls; a sacred animal represents each aspect.[1] Power can be drawn by worshippers by performing rituals and propitiating the Loa. Traditionally these rituals are done by priests, who are dedicated to a single Loa[2], but anyone may leave offerings. Different troll tribes may call upon different sets of Loa.[3]
Upon death, Loa may be able to return eventually[4], but it is possible to be destroyed spiritually and never to return.[5]
Very rarely a troll can become a Loa, such as Zanza the Restless or Bwonsamdi. Nothing is known about this process.
