Perhaps trolls could not reproduce?

What are the origin of Trolls? Wargs? Fell beasts? Trolls may have been completely artificial beings that could not reproduce but could only be manufactured by Morgoth or Sauron. Or maybe they were corrupted from the stone-giants (of which we know very little). Wargs may have been made from what we would call prehistoric dire wolves. That is how I have always seen them, in any case. The great Werewolves were probably originally Wargs infused with evil spirits or Maiar. The fell beasts of the Ring-wraiths seem to be descended from some remnant of the flying reptiles known as pterodactyls, reminding me of stories of pteranodon-like flyers spotted in Mexico and the south-western United States. Sauron probably corrupted them the same way that Morgoth created the Wargs.

Add Orcs to the Bombadil and other origin mystery list.

I think it's really disturbing that Orcs may be descended from Elves

I agree, the elvish origin idea has too many problems

If Morgoth used Ents as a "template" for Trolls,

That doesn't mean that Ents were corrupted to become trolls...
