Mountain Trolls

Misty Mountain Trolls

The Misty Mountain Trolls lived most of their lives near the high pass in the Misty Mountains. Their physical bulk is outstanding: they tower over Trolls and yet they have some of the qualities of Orcs.

These trolls are unlike any other seen previously. Being much larger than the average Troll and extremely hard to take down, they are some of Sauron's greatest weapons of war. Althought their origins are unknown, they most likely hail from the northern Misty Mountains or Gundabad.

Portrayal in adaptations

The Hobbit film trilogy

In The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, some ventured into the lair of the Orcs to get away from the sun but apart from that, they didn't do anything that's worth knowing. However a single group of them followed the goblins to Mount Gundabad and fought in the Battle of Five Armies. They are first seen with catapult mechanisms on their backs and Orcs operating it, in which they proceed to launch catapults at the the ruined city of Dale. They were all wiped out during later stages of the battle. Their leader, (Under Azog of course), was an Ogre, who lifts his club in the air and brings it down hard, signaling the trolls to fire the catapults.

It is unknown what types of trolls these are, but it can be assumed that they may be large Mountain Trolls from Mount Gundabad.(Azog calls them "War-beasts")
