Mountain Troll

The herdsmen of the high pastures know a mountain troll's cave by the smell, which carries a mile, and by the bones before the door. They go no nearer. When the troll is fed it sleeps. When it is hungry it comes down, and then nothing turns it, not walls nor wounds, until it has eaten.

It is the smallest of the trolls and the strongest. Its hide is gray and looks diseased, and is as thick as a shield. It goes up a cliff as a man goes up a stair, three toes before and one behind, and from the top it throws rocks the size of a sheep, and throws them far. Pain is nothing to it; nor is death, which it has heard of and does not expect.
