They are known from an encounter with the Fellowship of the Ring as they passed through Moria, but were evidently found elsewhere in Middle-earth, too. These Trolls, along with Orcs and perhaps other creatures, were originally sent to inhabit Moria by Sauron some five hundred years before the War of the Ring. The Cave-trolls of Moria were of huge size with a skin of dark green scales, and flat, toeless feet. The fact that Gandalf was able to recognise the creature he encountered in Moria specifically as a Cave-troll strongly suggests that this appearance was shared by others of the kind. Notes 1 The only definite mention Tolkien makes of a Cave-troll is during the Fellowship's struggle to escape Moria on this date. It's fair to presume, though, that the Cave-trolls originated with the others of their kind, probably far back into the First Age. See also...
