Forest Trolls were rarely cannibalistic, perhaps because their environment provided plentiful food of other kinds. Few used Mannish or Elvish style weaponry, except for an occasional sword honed down as a skinning-knife, preferring to hunt with slings and snares of their own making. They would eat anything meaty that was not a Troll - be it deer, boar, or Man. Forest Trolls could survive in diffused sunlight, but they would revert to stone in blazing daylight. In Eriador, the Wood-Trolls were also known as Gnolls or Gnoll-Kin (especially amongst Hobbits) and Goblin-Trolls.

  • Forest Trolls were rarely cannibalistic, perhaps because their environment provided plentiful food of other kinds. Few used Mannish or Elvish style weaponry, except for an occasional sword honed down as a skinning-knife, preferring to hunt with slings and snares of their own making. They would eat anything meaty that was not a Troll - be it deer, boar, or Man. Forest Trolls could survive in diffused sunlight, but they would revert to stone in blazing daylight. All wielded a debased form of woodland magic . They practiced occult rituals at various places, the exact locations marked by twisted , sentient trees , or standing stones carved with secret runes and tainted with symbols and curses . During the dark of moon or storm , some of the Trolls communed with the dark powers of earth and shadow . They seemed to perform their ceremonies for little other reason then the sensual pleasure that could be drawn from them. However , mannish cultists arranged to meet the Trolls to seek favor from Dark Forces and draw power and knowledge to do evil . The Trolls , for a price , cooperated with these outsiders . Indeed , it had been suggested that the Wood-trolls were bred just for this function , probably by warped priests of the Second Age who hoped to use them as powerful familiars and mediums . In Eriador, the Wood-Trolls were also known as Gnolls or Gnoll-Kin (especially amongst Hobbits) and Goblin-Trolls.
