| Reference | monst.c#line1821 |
The Olog-hai, T, 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 several ways to prevent this, such as eating or tinning the corpse.
Encyclopedia entry
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.
