The mountain troll (Troglodytarum alpinum)[1] is a breed of troll.
Description
They are the largest breed, weighing over a tonne,[2] and the most vicious kind of their species. They are often bald beasts with thick, dark grey skin. They sometimes use Graphorns as mounts, which results in them being scared due to Graphorns heavily disliking such travel.[3]
History
Quirrell's mountain troll holding its club
An adult Mountain troll
A band of mountain trolls were wreaking havoc in Liechtenstein, which led to Pierre Bonaccord's position as Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards being challenged by the local wizarding community, as he tried to ban troll-hunting and grant them rights at the time.
A male mountain troll was used as a diversion so that Professor Quirinus Quirrell could attempt to get past Fluffy to capture the Philosopher's Stone for his master, Lord Voldemort.[4]
Late in August 2020, Mountain trolls rode graphorns through Hungary.[5].
Uses
Troll whiskers can sometimes be used as wand cores.[6]
