Pippin ... stood beside Beregond in the front rank of Gondor with Imrahil's men.The Return of the King, LoTR Book 5, Ch 10, The Black Gate Opens
[The] first assault crashed into them. ... [There] came striding up, roaring like beasts, a great company of hill-trolls ... [They] ... wielded heavy hammers in their knotted hands. ... [They] broke upon the line of the men of Gondor, and beat upon helm and head, and arm and shield.... At Pippin's side Beregond was stunned and overborne, and he fell; and the great troll-chief that smote him down bent over him, reaching out a clutching claw; for these fell creatures would bite the throats of those that they threw down.The Return of the King, LoTR Book 5, Ch 10, The Black Gate Opens
