“	...and out of Far Harad black men like half-trolls with white eyes and red tongues.	”
–The Return of the King, The Battle of the Pelennor Fields

Half-troll Warriors are warrior variants of the standard Half-troll. They were added in Public Beta 22. They are found in the Pertorogwaith biome. They are slightly bigger than the player, at a height of around two and a half blocks, along with being roughly two blocks wide.

Equipment

Half-troll Warriors wear Half-troll armour and can carry any of the weapons of the Half-trolls, including scimitars, daggers, hammers, and more.

Spawning

Half-troll Warriors will spawn occasionally in Pertorogwaith alongside the normal Half-trolls. Sometimes a Half-troll warrior will spawn riding a rhino, which may be armoured.

They are hireable from Half-troll Warlords.

Lore

Half-trolls are hardy warriors and great swordsmen. They were loyal to Sauron like all of the other Haradrim. They initially were an experiment on the part of Sauron, an experiment that was abandoned in the mid Second Age. Over thousands of years the Half-Trolls slowly multiplied and came into conflict with the other Haradrim tribes. Now they are united with them in an uneasy alliance, as Sauron calls all his former subjects to him to destroy the Free Peoples.

The Half-trolls of the mod are presumably a crossbreed between trolls and either orcs, Men or both.

Appearance

Unlike most NPCs, Half-trolls are slightly taller than the player, standing at a height of about two and a half blocks. They do not talk, but rather make grunting sounds, similar to a vanilla pig and they wear armor.

Behaviour

Half-troll Warriors will ignore any players with a neutral or good alignment towards their faction, but will quickly run towards and attack any player with negative alignment. Unlike most NPC's, they cannot talk, reflecting their unnatural origin, although they do make grunting noises from time to time.

Hiring

You can hire a Half-troll warrior from a Half-troll Warlord for the price of 50 silver coins and 300 alignment.

Advantages	Disadvantages
A powerful unit with high attack strength and health	Getting to Pertorogwaith takes a long time
Can be hired atop a rhino for even more destructive potential	These units can't fit into a two meter high space, and become very vulnerable there
Very reasonably priced, considering their strength
