It is the largest Troll you have ever seen, slightly taller then even the towering Cave-troll. It wears nothing but a loincloth, and blinders make it completely unaware of your presence.'' '''Rock Throwing (Ex):''' Mountain-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 Mountain-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. ===History=== Mountain-Trolls inhabit the mountain ranges that serve as natural borders of Mordor. They serve as it's protectors, so no invading army can come far up the mountains before stones start rolling down. Their brute strength makes them perfect laborers. They are often used to open and close the Black Gate of Morannon, and to crew the colossal-sized siege weapons Mordor is famous for. ===Campaign Notes (War of the Ring)=== Currently, the numbers of Mountain-trolls in Ephel Dúath, the Mountains of Shadow, are declining, as more and more go inland towards Barad-Dûr. What exactly they are doing is unknown. Breeding more Olog-hai? Constructing or carrying siege weapons? Only time will tell.
