Ya we do. Pippin kills one.

The battle of Pelennor adds new trolls to the mix. Mountain-trolls by name.

Want to know another term concernin trolls that doesn't appear until the Appendix?

Torog.

Since Tolkien didn't use Torog in the text, they must not exist.

Or how 'bout this one; Sindarin. The Sindar didn't speak Sindarin 'cause it ain't mentioned in the text. Only the Appendix, so we can say that they must have spoken Westron or sumpin cause if Tolkien really wanted us to know it was Sindarin they spoke, he woulda wrote Sindarin in the text.

Say g'night Gracie.
