TROLLS

Of all Sauron's servants, trolls have the greatest physical might. These huge figures may be the corrupted form of tree spirits, created by Morgoth in the Great Darkness. Trolls are normally incapable of withstanding the pureness of daylight.

MUME Trolls

The sheer might of a Troll makes them the most capable bare-handed fighters. They have extremely low thinking ability, and their bulk gives them very sluggish movement. Trolls can only play Warriors effectively.

Trolls in MUME are treated differently to most other races:

They may not become immortal.
They cannot cast spells at all.
They have access to no shops.
They do heavy damage barehanded.
They have natural armour due to their thick hide.
They can not practice leadership.
They have the ability to see in the dark without a light source.
They suffer tremendous damage under sunlight.
A Troll will see all non-Trolls except Black Númenóreans in the room by their race name (e.g., *an Elf*, -Snarf the Orc-). The same applies for non-Trolls seeing Trolls.

The one exception to the last rule is that a Troll grouped by a Black Númenórean will be able to see Orcs in their group by name.

Player-controlled Trolls are deemed to be of the Hill Troll, Mountain Troll or Cave Troll strain (as opposed to Forest Trolls and Olog-hai).

What is MUME?

MUME, Multi-Users in Middle-earth, is a multiplayer text-based online game based upon J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth during the epic wars of the late Third Age between the forces of the Dark Lord and the armies of the Free peoples. MUME is completely at no cost and has been continuously running, expanded, and remastered by a community of volunteers since 1991.
