This is among the series of monsters from ''Lord of the Rings'' that I have adapted to 3.5. This was originally seen in ''The Fellowship of the Ring''.

It is of huge stature, and its scales and flaps of skin are dark green in color. Its feet are flat and toeless.'' '''Rock Throwing (Ex):''' Cave-Trolls use their brute strength to throw rocks over huge distances. They can throw small-sized rocks over a distance of five range increments. '''Rock Catching (Ex):''' Once per round, a Cave-Troll can attempt to catch a rock thrown to hit him. They must make a reflex save to catch it (DC 15 for a small-sized one, DC 20 for medium-sized rocks, or DC 25 for large rocks). Trolls must be ready and aware of the attack to do this. '''Sunlight Petrification (Su):''' A Cave-Troll cannot survive in sunlight. Every round, a Cave-Troll must make a Fort save (DC 30+ number of rounds in sunlight), or become permanently petrified. ===History=== The Cave Trolls infest the northern regions of Middle-Earth. Found inhabiting various caves and tunnels (especially in or around mountains), they are a deadly thing indeed. The largest population of Cave-trolls are in Moria, where they are enslaved by Goblins. ===Campaign Notes (War of the Ring)=== Cave-Trolls are becoming more bold, actually leaving their darkened homes to go on raids against the Elves for their Goblin masters. Even more dangerous then the Cave-trolls under Goblin control are the free ones, for they are stupid and getting desperate to keep their freedom (even if it means charging into settlements to get the supplies they need).
