The '''Olog-hai''', {{monsym|olog-hai}}, is the most powerful type of [[troll]] in [[NetHack]].
 
 
 
The name is derived from J.R.R Tolkien's works, in which the Olog-Hai were the Hill Trolls, a species of trolls that served the Witch-King while he ruled in Angmar and did not turn to stone in sunlight as many of their contemporaries did.
 
Like all trolls, Olog-hai usually [[revive]] after being killed. There are [[Troll#Strategy_for_troll_removal|several ways to prevent this]], such as eating or [[tinning kit|tinning]] the corpse.

But at the end of the Third Age a troll-race not before seen
 
appeared in southern Mirkwood and in the mountain borders of
 
Mordor.  Olog-hai they were called in the Black Speech.  That
 
Sauron bred them none doubted, though from what stock was not
 
known.  Some held that they were not Trolls but giant Orcs;
 
but the Olog-hai were in fashion of body and mind quite unlike
 
even the largest of Orc-kind, whom they far surpassed in size
 
and power.  Trolls they were, but filled with the evil will
 
of their master:  a fell race, strong, agile, fierce and
 
cunning, but harder than stone.  Unlike the older race of the
 
Twilight they could endure the Sun....  They spoke little,
 
and the only tongue they knew was the Black Speech of Barad-dur.
