Hehe, thanks, so, now I ask a question?

OK, lets see if anyone knows this one, name all the kinds of Trolls that live in Middle Earth and if you can, what was used to create the Trolls?

Elrian
02-06-2002, 06:42 PM
Stone Trolls, Cave Trolls, Hill Trolls, and the Olog-Hai. Perhaps Ents, it never really specified, only that they could be an imitation of Ents.

[ February 06, 2002: Message edited by: Elrian ]

Meriadoc
02-07-2002, 01:29 PM

Who was the last lord of the Éothéod?

Bruce MacCulloch
02-11-2002, 05:51 AM
There are two possible answers, depending on how you look at it.
Eorl was the first king of Rohan, but before that he was the lord of the Eotheod. Therefore Eorl was the last lord of the Eotheod.
But if you don't count Eorl, it would be Leod his father.

Hey, i think I've got the answer to the question...

I think there are the Cave-trolls, Hill-trolls, Mountain-trolls, Olog-hai, Snow-trolls, and Stone-trolls. Of course the trolls definitely came from Ents.
