Description
Just as Sauron sent his Orcish forces out into the rest of Middle-earth, so did he with the trolls. Accompanying the contingents of Orcs sent South were trolls of similar ilk that adapted to the ways of the jungle. With little to no metal or rock to work with, these creatures typically uproot a nearby tree to suit their purposes when needing a weapon.
The jungles and forests of the South are quite dense and so these trolls were smaller than most other breeds, but were indeed just as powerful. In the far south, the sun blazes in the sky for most of the day, causing these trolls to eventually adapt to the presence of sunlight and not turn to stone because of it. It is from this stock that Sauron blended troll and man to create the terrible and fearsome Olog-hai.
