The 7 Different Trolls of Middle Earth

Morgoth created Trolls at the end of the First Age (twilight of the Elder Days). Their exact origins are unknown, though it is stated by Treebeard that Trolls were "made in mockery of" Ents, similar to the way that Orcs were a twisted parody of the Elves. Many Trolls died in the War of Wrath, but some survived and joined the forces of Sauron, the greatest surviving servant of Morgoth. In the Second Age and Third Age, Trolls were among Sauron's most dangerous warriors and breeds of the various kinds of Trolls could be seen in several conflicts.
In the Third Age, Sauron created the Olog-hai, which were more powerful than earlier breeds of Trolls. While most Trolls cannot bear exposure to sunlight without turning to stone, the Olog-hai apparently could, something that made them particularly dangerous.

I think you made a mistake in regard to speech: The forest trolls are not the only trolls that can speak. The Oog-Hai also spoke the Black Speech of Mordor.

[@fantasywind3923]

Exactly: "Trolls. Troll has been used to translate the Sindarin Torog. In their beginning... these... had no more language than beasts. But Sauron had made use of them, teaching them what little they could learn.... Trolls therefore took such language as they could master from the Orcs; and in the Westlands the Stone-trolls spoke a debased form of the Common Speech.... " The Lord of the Rings, Appendix F, The Languages and Peoples of the Third Age: Of Other Races "But Orcs and Trolls spoke as they would, without love of words or things; and their language was actually more degraded and filthy than I have shown it. " The Lord of the Rings, Appendix F, The Languages and Peoples of the Third Age: Of Other Races "[Olog-hai] spoke little, and the only tongue that they knew was the Black Speech of Barad-dûr. " The Lord of the Rings, Appendix F, The Languages and Peoples of the Third Age: Of Other Races Also te varieties of Trolls are as follows: Stone-trolls, Cave-trolls, Hill-trolls, Mountain-trolls, Olog-hai and the last are mostly rumored, unclear whether they really exist, snow-trolls, it's unclear because it's only mentioned in this passage: "Helm grew fierce and gaunt from famine and grief; and the dread of him alone was worth many men in the defence of the Burg. He would go out himself, clad in white, and stalk like a snow-troll into the camps of his enemies, and slay many men with his hands."

[@cromcraft3494]

@@PamelaTaylor Tolkien was a cheeky bastard. He named his golems, trolls. And his troll, golem. Like the golem, the trolls were forged from the earth. Or stone. Or clay. I'm not the worlds leading expert on ancient Judaic folk lore, but I believe their stories about golems, while viewing them as useful, also saw them as an evil. Any time something without access to the "secrate fire" (anyone who is not eru iluvitar) tries to make life, it is an evil mockery. ...so yes they are constructs of the earth, forged by a demon.

I wonder how would the giants from A song of Ice and Fire fit into this world. Will they be seen as equals, or seen as prey? Would they side with any part or search for solitude?

[@javiervillacorta3847]

It depends, if Song Of I & F suddenly appeared in middle earth they would instantly be eradicated due to their "pacific" position. but if somehow they appeared in some forest protected by elves, they would instantly become the counter-attack for trolls and may be good friends with dwarves since they both like to eat meat, also they would have some troubles with ents when cutting some trees but if elves help them and give them a place in the forest, they would be the best "rangers" in the black forest, Lothlorien or any other large forest that needs to be protected. anyway, I think they would establish their colonies in the black forest since they are close to Lothlorien, Erebor and Thranduil's kingdom. they would hunt lots of fish in the Anduin and probably kill any troll or orc to protect their own children. the best part is that Giants would become the best "Guards" and most kingdoms would pay them with gold or food or anything to keep their walls safe :D or actually go kill some trolls or whatever, they would grow in number but no that much, and anyway they would ride mumakil :o

Forest Trolls never existed in ME and are not canon, if Tolkien never wrote or spoke about them. They are an invention of video games only. Half-trolls certainly existed, but only in the southern-most lands of ME, such as Harad. They never ventured as far north as the Misty Mountains and never allied themselves with the orcs of that region - that is just more nonsense EA came up with for the games.
