When I was researching Trolls to see what they were like from the original legends this is what I imagined they looked like. They were described as shape shifters. Able to look like anything they desired. But when they take human forms the females would take the form of an elegant beautiful woman, appearing to be of high class. The only give aways are that she was in the woods alone, not something someone of stature would be found doing, and the tail. The tail was the only thing they couldn't hide.
Tolkien took elves and made them into trolls, and took trolls and made them into rock monsters.
