Snow-troll - The Rings of Power

A snow-troll as depicted in The Rings of Power

Snow-trolls may have been a pale subspecies of trolls in Middle-earth that stalked their prey and were adapted to cold frozen environments.

History[]

Snow-trolls are mentioned only once in Tolkien's works, in reference to Helm Hammerhand clad in white and stalking his enemies "like a snow-troll" during his sorties against the Dunlendings in the Long Winter.[1]

Portrayal in adaptations[]

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power[]

In the first episode of The Rings of Power's first season, Galadriel and her companions are attacked by a snow-troll while exploring Dúrnost, the abandoned fortress of Sauron in the wastes of Forodwaith. The creature injures several of the Elves before Galadriel slays it with Thondir's aid.[2]
