cave trolls

Subterranean brutish creatures

Cave trolls are mythical creatures from fantasy fiction—large, brutish humanoids that dwell in underground darkness.

They appear most notably in Tolkien's works, where the Fellowship encounters one in the Mines of Moria.

The term sometimes describes people who rarely leave home: He's become a cave troll since he started working remotely.
