: Where the trolls really "made" out of stone? If they were it again strikes me as puzzling due to the fact that Morgoth could not bestow life upon something non-living. I know that trolls would be turned to stone if exposed to sunlight but were they really fashioned out of stone or it that just a myth among the people of ME?: Thanx again, everybody, for all the help. Even though my questions have probably been discussed hundreds of times, this really gives me a chance to get a better understanding of Tolkien's work. crackpot theory one: Morgoth cannot give life. But are stones really inanimate? Maybe they just need to be woken. Legolas once mentioned that the stones had memory of the Elves once living here? crackpot theory two: If trees have shepherds, why don't stones?
