Snow-trolls were probably a kind of troll, living in an environment of snow and ice. No tale is told of Snow-trolls, so whether they existed (in the far reaches of the North) remains open to debate.
During the Long Winter of T.A. 2758 and 2759 lied upon the fields of Rohan, Helm Hammerhand clad himself in white and stalked the camps of the Dunlendings "like a snow-troll", and killed many with (seemingly) his bare hands. It remained a legend in Dunland, striking fear and hatred into any who heard it.[1]
