(New page: The troll-men of Far Harad are mentioned in The Return of the King and goes like this "...East rode the knights of Dol Amroth driving the enemy before them: troll-men and Variags and orcs ...)
 
(In the 50th Anniversary One Volume Edition, both "half-trolls" and "troll-men" share the same index entry, confirming the two terms refer to the same creatures.)

Also during the battle of Pelennor Fields there’s a reference, 
The '''troll-men''' were a people in league with [[Sauron]] during the [[War of the Ring]], driven off from the [[Battle of the Pelennor Fields]] by the knights of [[Dol Amroth]]. The troll-men were the same as the black men like [[half-trolls]] with white eyes and red tongues that were said to come from [[Far Harad]].<ref>{{RK|V6}}</ref>
"...Easterlings with axes, and Variags of Khand, Southrons in scarlet, and out of Far Harad black men like half-trolls with white eyes and red tongues."
 
But no one knows if it’s a reference referring to large men who’s compared to trolls or Troll-men. In the second reference there mentioned half-trolls, so some people think that, troll-men could be a cross breed between men and trolls of some sort. Maybe it’s referring to the Olog-hai that is a sort of cross breed between troll and orc or uruk-hai. Because of that the Olog-hai has something near human intelligence.
