The Guldur Olog-hai were high standard, elite warriors in Azog's Dol Guldur army.

Statistics

Heavily armored in thick plates of steel, these trolls were more than a match for the allied armies during the battle of the five armies. They were about 9-12 feet tall at most, being the smaller trolls on the battlefield. Their only weapons were wooden clubs fitted with iron spikes, of which was to be used on the iron hill dwarves, and mirkwood elves.

History and usage

These trolls so far have only seen action in the Peter Jackson's film adaptation of the Battle of the Five armies, and seen during the later portion of the battle, preparing to charge at a surrounded portion of Dain's army at the gate of Erebor. Six of these trolls were put to the front lines to attack, when Thorin Oakenshiled rallied the dwarves and regained their morale, four of these trolls were killed by heavy spears, being lodged directly into their necks, killing them. (However it is also possible these trolls have been fighting previously and were wounded by attacks from before)

The remaining trolls held their ground and smashed into the dwarven lines. Later on these trolls were reinforced by the much larger trolls, and bats of gundabad.
