Thorin and Company came across Bert, Tom, and William Huggins in 2941. These stone-trolls had descended from the mountains and devoured a number of men equal to a village and a half, along with some livestock. Bilbo Baggins and the Dwarves were taken by the Trolls, but Gandalf made a comeback in time to prevent the Trolls from continuing their argument about how to cook the Dwarves by pretending to be the voices of the Trolls while hiding. This continued until the first rays of the morning sun appeared over the Troll Ridge, turning the Trolls to stone. Following their discovery of the lair of Trolls, Thorin and Company seized the food, gold coins, the knife Sting, and the swords Glamdring and Orcrist. Elrond surmised that the Trolls had either found the swords in a mountain keep as relics from previous robberies or had stolen them from other robbers. Large humanoid creatures with low intelligence were known as trolls. They were fierce and powerful, but some of them were unable to withstand sunlight and turned to stone when it hit them, making them forever dead. It is clear that Morgoth corrupted Trolls from -- primitive human types -- in the -- twilight of the Elder Days -- of the First Age. Treebeard said that Trolls were created by the Dark Lord -- in mockery of Ents, just like Orcs were thought to be a perverted imitation of Elves. However, it is unknown exactly how they came to be corrupted. Regardless of their precise origins, Trolls were lumpy and uninteresting, and at first they were as inarticulate as animals.
