LotR cartoon, Troll, plus some influences on Peter Jackson

 UPDATE AND THIS NAZGUL SWORD SCENE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk47qO8rW4Y

It was hairy, but it also was green and scaly (where hairless) AKA it had reptilian feet and claws. It's face was not reptilian, had a turned up nose. The hairiness is funky and interesting. I will say I never liked the tiny-nosed short-legged trolls of the Peter Jackson movies, they just didn't look troll-like. My favorite monsters in the Jackson movies were some of the side-profile goblinesque orcs (bottom of this post) and later in the Hobbit movies: Smaug (though a bit too shiny or CGI shine or whatever).











Some scenes that influenced Peter Jackson, he must have some love of this cartoon movie, as do I:



Hard to see, but the Nazgul put the sword out in front of their face just like the cartoon, (then flip them around to attack in unison). 



Sidenote, these orcs/goblins look the best IMO.
