I meant Stone-Trolls. There is nothing in the books to support that fact, but is seems like it would make sense, considering they were made "in mockery of the ents." Nobody ever sees stone-trolls (stome-giants in the books, except for when they're throwing boulders at Bilbo in the Hobbit, so there's no evidence to support either viewpoint. It may just be a giant unweildy metaphor.
