| | Troll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In some early 20th century fairy tales, by Elsa Beskow, trolls are also depicted as an aboriginal race of hunters and gatherers who are fleeing the encroaching human civilisation. | | | Singing Trolls relate their hate of humans, especially Christians, which are for them a plague to eradicate - and to eat. | | | The green Forest Trolls of Zul'Aman (the Hinterlands), the icy blue Ice Trolls of Northrend and Khaz Modan, the large Dark Trolls of Ashenvale, the mysterious Desert Trolls of Tanaris, and the numerous Jungle Trolls. |

| | Trolls are evil creatures that imperil the people of Middle-earth. | | | Years later, Strider and his hobbit companions discover the stoned trolls as they hasten to Rivendell. | | | Whatever their origin, the early trolls are big and stupid and speak no language of their own. |

| | These black-blooded giants were called Trolls, and for five Ages of the Sun they committed deeds as evil as their dull wits allowed. | | | By Troll standards these three Trolls were mental giants, for they spoke and understood the Westron tongue of Men and had an elementary, if faulty, knowledge of arithmetic. | | | So it was that, towards the end of the Third Age, Sauron bred Trolls of great cunning and agility who could endure the Sun as long as Sauron`s will was with them. |

| | Trolls are one of the most frequent creatures of Scandinavian fairy tales and more common than elves, dwarves, witches and giants. | | | Trolls were very strong, but they turn to stone on sun light. | | | Young Swedish children frequently believe in trolls, and a way to teach children to brush their teeth is to tell them to get rid of the very small "tooth trolls" that otherwise will make holes in their teeth. |

| | The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - Troll's clothes? |
| | I think that before we can answer the question about why the Trolls' clothes turned invisible, we should probably wonder why the Trolls' themselves turn invisible. | | | Trolls, being part of Professor Morgoth's ingenious robotics development project(which failed miserably in Artificial Intelligence), are crudely manufactured of rock... | | | But is there a quote that would literally say that the clothes turned into stone with the trolls or is that a question of interpretation?I think the line "very luckily, before he was turned to stone" is proof that his clothes turned to stone. |

| | After Sauron's downfall, the Trolls in his service became mindless and directionless without his evil will to guide them. | | | Trolls had no language of their own, though some Stone-trolls in Eriador were able to speak the Common Speech and Sauron taught Trolls in his service the Black Speech. | | | Trolls may in fact have been made from stone originally. |

| | Whereas the trolls seem to him like Norse Berserkers, and the Uruk-Hai like Ulfhethnar - werewolves -, the elves appear "typically Jewish" to him, "arrogant, saying ´We are the chosen ones´" (Moynihan, 150). | | | Rosemary Jackson called Tolkien´s high fantasy "a conservative vehicle for social and instinctual repression" (Moseley, 72) and a confirmation of a bankrupt middle class. | | | Whatever the portrayal of gender and class in The Lord of the Rings may have caused in certain readers, it cannot be denied that the novel is so close to medieval and ancient style that these cannot be arguments against Tolkien - and you cannot accuse the medieval poets for it. |

| | At the very least, Tolkien must have known (likely to his own personal amusement) that his trolls being made in mockery of his ents mirrored trends in actual myth/folklore. | | | This being the case, the word "Ent" could basically be described as a Middle-English term for the Titan-like beings of Norse Myth, the "Yotunnar", or Jotuns. | | | If Tolkien said that his "Trolls" were made in mockery of the Ents, even though the text says very little on this topic, what could be concluded from that? |
