troll in Harry Potter It’s amazing for their size, durability, and stupidity. Interestingly, the OWL and NEWT tests are abbreviated with the worst scores (T stands for Troll). Well, at least they have the basic intelligence needed to use tools and get dressed.
They are generally divided into three main subtypes: river trolls, mountain trolls, and forest trolls, differing in their aggression, skin color, hair quality, and other taxonomic features. For such an interesting beast, not much is known about them.
The troll was huge, about 3 meters tall and weighed over 2,000 pounds. However, Goliath is almost twice the height and payload, not to mention much smarter than the Troll.
So there doesn’t seem to be much of a superficial connection between these two magical species; for one thing, giants can actually speak human languages, but trolls barely speak their own.
How do they keep their feet balanced?
Given their size—large bodies balanced on large legs—their ability to stand was a miracle, let alone walk without tripping. Despite their disfigured anatomy, they can’t carry a stick half the size of themselves, but they swing it with incredible power (and minimal effort).
Troll physiology might work for four-legged people, as the weight would be more evenly distributed, but that’s not true in their case.
they can mate with humans
Harry mocked the Slytherin Quidditch Chaser Marcus Flint, thinking “he has some troll blood in him”. While that’s not true, it’s been known that there are children of trolls (if Hagrid can be half-giant, why not?)
In fact, the Circus Arcanus was in Grindelwald’s Crimes Having a half-dwarf is one of its oddities, along with several other creatures like Onis, Maledicti, Zouwus, Kappas, Graphorns, etc. This could mean that these chimeras borrowed many traits. from their troll parent rather than from their human parent.
Are they magical?
According to the Department of Magical Creatures, trolls are classified as “monsters”, but that’s because they are so difficult to tame. They do, however, possess some magical energy, as their antennae were used by Ollivander as the core of his wand.
However, wandmakers wanted to use as little of this material as possible, as it lacked the strength offered by phoenix feathers, unicorn tail feathers, and dragon heartstrings. A troll cannot cast any spell, with or without a wand.
Can they be trained?
Despite their rather wild nature, trolls have been trained for specific jobs (mainly bodyguards or protecting important objects such as the Sorcerer’s Stone.)
When Sirius Black entered the castle, Dumbledore sent a pair to stand guard outside the Gryffindor common room until the end of the lesson. Few people understand them equally, such as Quirrell and Barty Crouch, Sr., but only at a basic level of communication.
How do Graphorns bear their weight?
exist cursed childHungarian magicians claim to have seen native mountain gnomes in Graphorns, and they are not really excited about their role as shoulder beasts.
as seen Where are the wonderful beasts, these animals are large and heavy but cannot carry a troll without falling instantly. Furthermore, this strange cooperation was observed in the oblique region, making the whole thing even more unbelievable.
Why are they so violent?
Due to their complete lack of mental abilities, trolls are ridiculously aggressive towards everything in their sight, which doesn’t really say much. In other words, they are all muscular and mindless: but does that mean they have to be violent?
Giants and dragons are not, at least not unless they are disturbed or their territory is “invaded”, but trolls are just born destroyers. Does purposeful cannibalism bring them joy in some way? It’s good that the International Federation of Magicians keeps an eye on most of the tribes in Europe.
Who has the guts to dig them?
Hunting trolls used to be a popular sport, but their numbers are decreasing with the growth of urbanization. However, some prominent politicians have tried to legally ban the activity, calling it cruel and unjustified abuse.
Apparently, this will continue to happen, as Blakes has an umbrella made of a troll’s foot. Forget about killing them, how can the hunter take them down? pure luck?
How to troll into the dungeon?
In the first year, Professor Quirrell walks into the hall and shouts that there are trolls in the dungeon (he planted it there himself).
He then reveals that he provided the creature to help improve security around the Sorcerer’s Stone, and explains how he came into contact with the mountain demon in the first place, but how it again entered the dungeon from the third floor without being seen by anyone. ? Not that they move as fast as they would like.
Nadru .’s troll
Since the word “Nadroj” is an antonym for Jordan, Nadroj’s troll may be in tribute to an artist hired to create Jordan. Prisoner of AzkabanJordan Crockett.
This variant is much stranger than the other three mentioned, with giant clawed arms and thick spiked legs. How does it use its signature club without opposable thumbs? Is there anything special about it?
