Just how hard is it to kill a Troll? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Ecthelion is rumoured to have killed 100 Trolls in one go. I don't have an exact source for this claim. I only heard it on another thread. Perhaps this tale is told in HoME or maybe it is not true.

Just like to point out, there are no such things as forest trolls in Middle-earth.

The different names for trolls seem just to refer to where they live, and slight possible physicall differences (ie, snow trolls are white) - basically like you get snow leopards, normal leopards, black ones, etc.
The only truely different-from-Hobbit/Moria-trolls were the Olog-hai, who have no problems with sunlight as long as the will of Sauron is on them.

I think that in a face to face combat it is pretty hard to kill troll unless you are very quick, beacuse they are hard as a rock so not anykind of weapon will hurt them.....I think
