Finwe hit the nail on the head (or should I say stone? *absurd drumroll*)
Stone giants are trolls, or torogs, or tarag, or anything else you want to call them. Contrary to the way trolls look in the film, they are not supposed to resemble orcs so much. Trolls are sentient beings spawned of stone, whereas Ents are of wood.
