Mansbane, Hill Troll
The creature known as Mansbane is probably a troll of some sort, perhaps a Hill-Troll that grew strong and fell in the pits of Dol Guldur. No-one has ever seen it and lived, but the devastation left in its wake is plain to see. The beast appears, ravages a settlement or a camp, killing everyone present, then vanishes into the night. Despite its apparent size, the best trackers have been unable to follow its trail, as though the beast took to the air after its atrocities.
Hill-Trolls are probably the most common breed of this cruel race, as they prowl desolate areas from the Coldfells in the north to Gorgoroth in the south. They are wild and beastly in battle, prone to bellowing and roaring to intimidate their enemies, but can be disciplined to use simple weapons and armour.
