Cave Troll Hammer (The Lord of the Rings)

A huge and powerful beast, the Cave Troll joined the troop of Moria Orcs attacking the Fellowship of the Ring in the Mines of Moria. Though not abundantly intelligent, the Troll’s great size, strength and tough hide made him a dangerous and ferocious adversary in battle. The troll nearly skewered the ringbearer, which would have brought and abrupt end to the Fellowship’s quest, but the mithril coat hidden beneath Frodo’s traveling clothes protected him from the troll’s mighty spear thrust.
