The famous writer was a well-known troglodyte who holed up in a cabin for months at a time without a single visitor.

She preferred to be a troglodyte, constantly alone and in solitude with her own thoughts.

After spending years as a recluse, the troglodyte climbed from his bunker, dusted off his clothes, and made his way into society.

In Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff is a troglodyte who spends most of his time brooding, shying from society, and bursting into fits of temper.

The town was flush with excitement when Mr. Darcy, a known troglodyte who shunned society and often disappeared, attended the ball that night.
