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.
