Description
Like their Orc counterparts, this breed of troll was more numerous in the First Age, when the enemies of the Dark One held the coastlines where he had yet to gain a foothold. An offshoot of the snow troll, sea trolls were apt in the ways of water survival. Unlike their brethren who immediately sink in water, sea-trolls can swim swiftly and for great distances despite their bulk.
These trolls were ideal for water-based warfare: their skin is mottled greens and blues; they also have an affinity for using tridents and spears, and the ability to hold their breath for an extended period of time. Unfortunately towards the end, mighty sea battles and sieges of coastal strongholds depleted their numbers drastically, but sea-trolls still remain numerous enough to harry Gondor, Mithlond, and other coastal regions.
