Toothgnasher's Skeleton

Toothgnasher's Skeleton is exhibited in the Ironforge museum.[75, 21.4]

This legendary ram is the subject of much dwarven folklore and tall tales and holds a warm place in dwarven hearts. Children are told that if they are good, Toothgnasher's spirit will let them ride on his back; if they are bad, he will toss them on his horns. This may account for how well-behaved dwarven children generally are.[1]

This is a scale replica of Toothgnasher's skeleton. The legendary ram was a wonder of Khaz Modan and the subject of many tales of dwarven folklore. To this day, ecologists have been unable to account for the ram's freakish size or physical stamina.

Trivia

Toothgnasher's name was likely inspired by Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr, the two goats who pull Thor's chariot in Norse mythology and whose names mean "teeth-barer" and "teeth-grinder", respectively.
