He rides huge stallions, one of which is as ill-tempered as its rider. Gregor's massive oaken shield is rimmed in black iron, and it bears the three black dogs of House Clegane on a yellow field. Such is the power of Gregor's strength that he has been known to hack men in half with just a single blow. The Mountain's strength allows him to wield a six-foot, two-handed greatsword with just one hand, giving him enormous reach while still wielding a shield. He also wears a plate helm with only a narrow slit for vision, atop of which is a stone fist punching up towards the sky. Below the plate he wears chainmail and boiled leather. Dull grey in color and battle-scarred, his armor is so heavy that no ordinary man would be able to move, let alone fight effectively while wearing it. Gregor wears the heaviest, thickest steel plate armor in the Seven Kingdoms. Ser Jaime Lannister regards the Mountain as one of the strongest living men ("like nothing human") in Westeros when thinking of who could match him in a fight.

Gregor weighs over thirty stone (420 lbs, or 190 kgs), nearly all of it muscle, making him near inhumanly strong. He has "massive shoulders and arms thick as the trunk of small trees", and a voice like stone breaking. He is extremely tall, being close to eight feet in height (or 2,4 meters). Gregor is well known for his size, cruelty, and prowess in battle.
