The Troll of Nadroj was a troll.[2] It was similar in appearance to a mountain troll, but had huge hands with clawed, disproportionately long fingers.[2]
This beast was covered in The Monster Book of Monsters, and, as such, was part of the third-year Care of Magical Creatures curriculum at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry under Professor Rubeus Hagrid.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
- The 2017 edition of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them confirms that the only types of troll are Forest trolls, River trolls, and Mountain trolls, making the existence of this type of troll possibly non-canonical, but it is also likely that this troll is not a unique breed or is simply an individual troll which is a member of the three known types.
- "Nadroj" is the name "Jordan" written backwards. As such, the name of this breed of troll may be a reference to Jordan Crockett, who worked on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban as a draughtsman.[3]
