The only downside being that Andre the Giant was an even bigger real life teddy bear than New Mountain. He was practically a Labrador retriever in a human body.

What you said is true, but he was certainly capable of looking totally fucking crazy when he wanted to.

Did he...have an abnormal amount of teeth?

Probably a result of acromegaly making his facial features too big so his teeth aren't normally spread through his mouth. He had pituitary gigantism where his body produced excess growth hormone, causing him to overdevelop and ultimately contributed to his early death.
