I’ve assumed that the trolls turn to stone because they are a perversion of the ent form. Sun gives life to ents but has the opposite effect to trolls.

@Grizzlox 2 жыл бұрын

They were kept alive by the will of Morgoth. The light of Eru Illuvatar which is present in the sun, and the light of the Eldar, brings order to that chaos and strips it of the powers of Melkath. This works great on evil creatures of Morgoth, and fairly well against the spawn of Ungoliant such as Shelob and the spiders of Mirkwood.

@Swiftbow 2 жыл бұрын

The Silmarillion explains it. They're creatures of the twilight, before the sun existed. Beasts that were corrupted into man-like shapes in mockery of the ents. They can't stand the sunlight because it is unnatural to them, so they turn to stone. ALL the troll types react this way to sunlight. The only exception are the Olog-Hai, the special breed of troll that Sauron bred for the war effort. Their skin hardens in sunlight, but they scan withstand it. One might ask why elves and the other creatures who existed first in the twilight don't react this way, but I think the reason is "because they're not corrupted." Orcs don't like sunlight, either... but being closer to man than beast (they're corrupted elves), they are able to withstand it. By that argument... it's likely the Olog-Hai are bred with either orcs or humans (or something else) to increase their resistance.

I don't think Melkor made Trolls literally from stone, because it is said explicitly on several occasions that only Eru can create life. So Melkor could only corrupt. I don't think that stone could be corrupted into moving, biting and talking on it's own :) When Aule made dwarves, I think he just made their bodies, shells. It was Eru who gave them life. According to half-trolls I think that these were just really savage men with unusual stature. Name was colloquial. It maybe was given to them by westeners when they saw them out of the blue on the battleside. For me, there is no ultimate form of troll. I like their variety, not only in Tolkien works, but also in Scandinavian folklore. I also consider cats as one of troll forms :P They like to troll everyone else

In _The Hobbit_ Gandalf explicitly stated 'If sunlight touches trolls they turn back into the stuff of mountains they originally were made of'. Something like that, I only have a German copy at hand. I presume Tolkien wrote this before working out his mythology in regards that only Eru was able to create life and simply didn't thought about this at that time. Also, the whole scenario with the trolls contradicts what he wrote in Appendix F of LotR wherein he explains trolls were only capable of language like beasts, but those had quite a conversation with each other and Bilbo. Probably Tolkien would have re-written this chapter completely in his planed revision of _The Hobbit_ to fit it into his lore.

I feel pretty strongly that the hill trolls and mountain trolls are Olog Hai. Probably the same breed. I honestly think that the names of most trolls have more to do with where they live, rather than notable differences.

@teaguetozier7006 2 жыл бұрын

I’m a bit confused, but it might just be something I need to look into more closely. I always believed that Tom, Bert and William were Mountain Trolls, and that when they are referred to as Stone Trolls, it was literally because they were at that time stone statues in the shapes of trolls, and not because that was their species. I’ll definitely be looking into it a bit closer. But other than that, wonderful video.

I would love to see a video or hear your thoughts on the different habitats of creatures from middle earth. How do orcs/goblins behave when there’s nothing else to do? What does day to day life look like? What do goblin dwellings in Moria look like? Im sure that type of information is very specific but it would be fun to speculate. I’d like to see a detailed look inside of Minas Morgul or Barad Dur. I’ve always wanted an artist to draw a cross section of such a habitat and describe it.

They're not trolls at all, that's true. They are actually ogres, a race with very little lore overall and to my knowledge never really appeared in Tolkien's writings outside of his early writings and Bilbo thinking of monsters during Riddles in the Dark. Their appearance is loosely based on how ogres are depicted in Lord of the Rings online.

I'm not convinced that Half-trolls actually existed within Tolkien's legendarium. We have his reference to Southron warriors as "men like half-trolls", and the later reference to troll-men seems to be a callback to that. But the Ultimate Troll? Sauron seems to have intended his Olog-hai to match that description.

Gandalf's quick acknowledgement that it was a Cave Troll (around 4:00 in the video) may have simply been due to the fact that it was found in a cave and when you're about to have a troll beating on you there is not really any significant difference (at least as would be important at the time) between the types and that was not the time or place to argue over the precise identification. Shoot first and identify the troll later sort of deal.

The "magic" leaving the stone trolls thing you said made me think about how the sun was made to replace the light of the trees and how Gandolf was a defender of the light and Morgoth is always associated with darkness, so the light would cure the darkness or something...

Regarding your question 'are trolls originally made from stone', I think the quote by Treebeard hints that they are. "We are stronger than Trolls [...] We can split stone like the roots of tree.'

Great video!! All trolls but the Olog-hai turn to stone in the sunlight. Tolkien quite clearly says so (and you even mention it in this video). The original trolls were all made out of stone. That is also quite clearly stated (I think in the Silmarillion as well as in the Lord of the Rings). The Olog-hai were analogous to the Uruk-hai for the orcs. The stone trolls in the Hobbit are Cockneys: at least they sound like Cockneys in the book (and I think in the film) though I know Tolkien hated analogies and that obviously he did not intend for them to be Cockneys.

A rousing round of bravo... quite. Some of your competition lacks the proper giving credit for the artistic b/g-s. That's kind of a must even if copyright laws like the DMCA here in the U.S. allow a fair-use standard centered around minimal use. It's the just the right thing to do to give credit for others' work, even if displayed for only 5 seconds. That's how I did it, years ago albeit. That's the format compliment. As far as content, I like your take on the subject. One almost feels sorry for the Cave Troll dying alone N The Fellowship, almost. They lack the capacity for reciprocity, mostly.

Stone trolls and ents both described as made of the stuff of the earth, stone trolls being a mockery of ents: stone trolls turn back into plain rock under sunlight, but of course, ents are _trees,_ and it's the sunlight that grows them and gives them light. As always, it's meant to be about opposites. (Probably just as a convenience for Tolkien, since I bet he'd written about the trolls turning to stone well before he was thinking of ents as some opposite abomination version.)

A hypothesis regarding the origins of Trolls. Could Trolls be creations originally made by Morgoth from the corrupted essences of slain Ents bound to either Dark Lord, and possibly to Saruman as well? The process to do so, plus any physical breed improvements devised by Morgoth passed to Sauron, and possibly from Sauron to Saruman. These corrupted Ent spirits could go back to spawning pits in Angband at first, Barad-Dur later, or possibly also to Eisengard later to be reborn and to deny them escape to the Halls of Mandos. Half Trolls could just be a Troll analog to the Half-Orc.

They could have been partially made from stone (because who knows how trolls are actually made) but it would have had to have been a merging with another living creature as Melkor did not posses the ability to create life, only corrupt it. Fun video.

No, Melkor could no create spirits. The Valar made the animals and plants, Yavanna did often.

Morgoth couldn't create life to make his subjects so he had to corrupt the existing life forms to fill his ranks.

I just want to point out that Gandalf said that the stone trolls must have come down from the Ettenmoors

Best kind of troll...I'm kind of fond of the Llort that Games Workshop made for 1st edition AD&D...it is a Troll with the traits of a Nilbog Goblin, but still the regeneration of a D&D Troll. So, it's fairly cowardly until you heal it (doing damage to it). This results in the regeneration slowly starting to kill it, so it desperately tries to get you to attack it to regain hit points.

I said something similar in reply to a other comment... In the hobbit, it's a hobbit and dwarves. In comparison dwarves + Hobbits are shorter small beings already compared to Men, orcs, ect... So trolls would appear much larger. Like a mouse to a cat. Put a troll next to the Giant Elephants. Trolls not so big anymore. Size relativity matters... Almost makes orcs to goblins, like man to hobbit.
