Creatures: The Troll
"And then they heard it -- a low grunting, and the shuffling
footfalls of gigantic feet. Ron pointed -- at the end of a passage to the left,
something huge was moving toward them. It was a horrible sight. Twelve feet
tall, its skin was a dull, granite grey, its great lumpy body like a boulder
with its small bald head perched on top like a coconut. It had short legs thick
as tree trunks with flat, horned feet.
It was holding a huge wooden club, which dragged along the floor because its
arms were so long."
~ Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
This formidable yet dim-witted creature famously clashed with Harry, Ron and Hermione in the girls' bathroom during their first year. My design was inspired by the book's description; it has grey lumpy skin and it waddles around on two short legs which contrast with its gangly long arms. I designed the head to resemble human features but with some grotesque distortion. The troll is articulated all over, from its jaw to the tip of its fingers.
