In Lord of the Rings, Trolls are a race of large, strong, and brutish creatures in the world of Middle-earth. Though they possess a certain level of intelligence and the ability to speak, they are generally considered dim-witted and barbaric.
Trolls are generally hostile towards humans, dwarves, and other civilized races. Some examples of famous trolls include the three stone trolls encountered by Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, and the cave trolls found in the Mines of Moria in The Fellowship of the Ring.
Trolls were created by Mor-goth the first Dark Lord, although it's not clear exactly how. The Ent, Tree-beard says that trolls were "made in mockery" of Ents, as Orcs were of Elves.
There are several different types of trolls in Middle-earth, including stone trolls, hill trolls, mountain trolls, cave trolls, Snow trolls, Half Trolls and Olog-hai.
