A Carl Gustav is an anti-tank weapon, described in GURPS
High-Tech. You said military units would need to be formed, so I was pointing out some suitable military weapons. You've achieved a creature that's fairly immune to small arms, and needs serious military weapons to kill.
However, the population centre point doesn't really work, because when these trolls show up, people will just leave. It's that or be eaten.

If trying for the goal of putting technology in its place, and being a reason for reduced population growth are what I'm aiming for, what other ideas might work better to feel easier to believe?

I'm not completely clear what you mean by "putting technology in its place." Could you give some examples of things you don't want to happen?
