Is Marsh Ogre a (Troll-kind)

Loremasters guide page 108-09. Its in the Trolls section but didnt' seem to get the (Troll-kind) designation like the others. Should it have? I suppose it doesn't really matter since Creature specific action and abilities on page 120 apparently apply to both Trolls and Ogres.

Any reason anyone can see?

I think it is, but let me ask someone who might know better than I

I think that an Ogre is a Troll the same way a Goblin is an Orc.

Agreed...but all the of the Goblin Entries I've seen have said Small humanoid (Orc-kind) where as the Marsh Ogre is the only entry that doesn't say Large (Troll-kind).

I expect it is just a typo or oversight.

I think the "correct" answer is that an ogre is not a troll (or a troll-kind), but it's own unique species of creature. Some things are mentioned by Tolkien without being given much detail. Ogres are one such thing. They are intentionally not given a troll-kind designation and I have been told that this is not a typo or oversight.

It amazes me how anal I start getting over odd little details as I input my campaign into Realm Works. Thanks for the input all!
