It seems CRT actually is responsible for the Troll reference in The Silmarillion, as it does not appear in the same passages he repoduces from his father in HoME and UT. As for the ents saying trolls were mockery of Ents this is the Ents POV [ as is everything Treebeard says, and JRRT in HoME X explains that Treebeards lore ancient though it is is not necesarrily that of the Wise]. As for the origin of Orcs and Dragons and other baddies there is an exhaustive thread in the Silm Forum here http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin...c&f=8&t=000025 note: the word fear is pl. for fea=spirit enjoy!
