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

In fact, that doesn't make sense at all when you consider that trolls turn to stone when caught in sunlight. Stone-giants could have been the template from which the first trolls were formed. On the other hand, I always imagined the stone-giants as living, organic creatures, so stone figures animated with spirit seems to make more sense.

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