'' The series was nominated for nine Daytime Emmy Awards in 2017, winning more than any other animated or live - action television program that year. In its first two seasons, it has also received or been nominated for several Annie Awards, Kidscreen Awards, and a Saturn Award.

The trolls ' common enemy are the Gumm - Gumms, evil trolls from the Darklands. The trolls ' chosen warrior, known as the `` Trollhunter '', is supposed to protect them from the Gumm - Gumms along with other dark miscreants from the Darklands. Fifteen - year - old James `` Jim '' Lake Jr and his friend Toby find a mystical amulet which grants him the Trollhunter mantle. He is shortly approached by his new troll mentors, Blinky and AARRRGGHH ! ! !. Despite his initial reluctance to lead a double life, he eventually accepts his role after discovering that attempting to disgard the amulet will cause it to return to him on its own. During his visits to Heartstone Trollmarket, the presence of the first human Trollhunter stirs resentment, but he quickly gains their acceptance. Throughout his training and missions, he befriends a gnome ( which Toby dubs `` Gnome Chompsky '' ) and discovers that goblins and Changelings ( human - morphing trolls that replace humans to spy ) are gathering for the completion of the KillAhead Bridge, a portal through which the Gumm - Gumms from the Darklands will arrive and invade. The project is being lead by Bular, Gumm - Gumm leader Gunmar 's son, and the Changeling replacing Jim 's high school teacher, Mr. Strickler. While discovering more mysteries, Jim is forced to reveal the truth about his life to Claire Nuñez when she becomes a target of the goblins. Jim and his allies launch a surprise attack on Bular and his henchmen, destroying the bridge and preventing the portal from being opened -- Jim is forced to battle Bular. They fight and Jim succeeds in slaying him. He returns to Trollmarket, where the citizens celebrate Bular 's defeat. Shortly afterward, Claire proposes a quest into the Darklands to rescue her baby brother Enrique, who has been replaced by a Changeling who they dub NotEnrique. Blinky informs them that the only way out of the Darklands is to kill Gunmar -- and the only way to destroy him is with the three Triumbric Stones. Meanwhile, their enemy Strickler has freed ancient troll assassin Angor Rot from his bonds -- using Angor 's ring, he forces him under his control. Jim and the gang hunt for the Stones. During one particular confrontation with Angor Rot, Jim indirectly causes his ring to break. Angor Rot goes on a rampage, attempting to kill Strickler and Jim -- in the process, Strickler and Jim 's mother are both injured. Trollmarket 's leader, Vendel, informs Jim that the only way to cure it is to break the binding spell that ties his mother 's and Strickler 's fates together -- however, his mother 's memories of the troll world, including the fact that her son is the Trollhunter, are erased. Meanwhile, Strickler coaches Jim on cutting Angor Rot 's removable stone - like eye, which they acquired, into a Triumbric - like stone to help him defeat Angor. Strickler also reveals to Jim that he had the last Triumbric Stone all along ; he gives it to Jim for saving him before leaving town. Angor Rot begins to invade Trollmarket after acquiring a key from Toby and Claire. Jim and his allies defeat him, but not before AAARRRGGHH ! ! ! takes a hit from his poison dagger and turns to stone. The group is in mourning. Believing that he is responsible for the death of AAARRRGGHH ! ! ! and the ongoing endangerment of his friends, Jim sets off to the Darklands alone, not wanting to lose any more of them. Part 2 After spending two weeks in the Darklands, Jim manages to rescue Enrique but ends up trapped in the Darklands. He is eventually rescued by his friends along with former antagonist Nomura. AARRRGGHH ! ! is revived with a potion, and is welcomed back by his friends. Unbeknownst to Jim and the gang, Gunmar has also escaped the Darklands, along with a few soldiers and Dictatious, Blinky 's brother whom he 'd thought was dead. The Gumm - Gumms hide out in one of the secret bases belonging to the Janus Order, an organization dedicated to Gunmar 's return. Blinky finds out Dictatious is alive and is supporting Gunmar, much to his dismay. Meanwhile, the fact that Gunmar is out from his eternal prison means that Jim has committed treason under Troll law, by endangering all of Trollkind with his decision to enter the Darklands in the first place. Gunmar battles and enslaves Draal using a mind - control ability from his sword. Jim learns that the amulet he carries is imbued with Merlin 's spirit, who helps him realize that his calling as the Trollhunter was not a mistake after all. Meanwhile, Queen Usurna, who leads the Troll Tribunal, kills Vendel in secret ; however, she is unaware that Vendel secretly recorded it using a magical troll artifact. It is revealed that Usurna is working for Gunmar ; she schemes with Gunmar 's counsel to bring about his glorious return. Gunmar invades Trollmarket, using his power to convert as many of its inhabitants into his soldiers as he can. He drains energy from the Heartstone, regaining his strength. Jim and his cohorts retreat from Trollmarket to above - ground Arcadia with as many Trolls as they can save, using Claire 's shadow staff ( obtained from Angor Rot ) to teleport everyone. But because of the dark magic nature of the staff, summoning that much power to teleport everyone causes Claire to connect with the source of the dark magic -- she comes under the spell of the sorceress, the Pale Lady ( Morgana ), who originally imbued Angor Rot with his magic. Claire portals directly to her, having retrieved Angor Rot 's skull. Gunmar takes over Trollmarket and enslaves all of the remaining trolls, with Usurna and Dictatious at his side. Meanwhile, as Jim comes home, he is surprised to find Strickler and Nomura there, where they propose to help him defeat Gunmar.

During a battle in the museum, Draal sacrifices his lower right arm while removing the Trollhunter amulet from the Killahead Bridge to close the portal, and later obtains a mechanical prosthetic.

In medieval times, Angor made a deal with Morgana, surrendering his own soul in return for his mystical powers. Rodrigo Blaas as Gnome Chompsky, a Gnome adopted by Toby.

He is the `` Grand Commandant '' of the Janus Order, a secret society of Changelings who assist the Gumm - Gumms. David Bradley as Merlin, the wizard who created the Trollhunter 's amulet. Production Initially, del Toro envisioned the idea as a live - action television series ; however this was deemed impractical due to budgetary concerns, and as a result he instead turned the idea into a book. DreamWorks then planned to turn the book into an animated feature film, but eventually decided to instead turn it into a series. Del Toro modeled the show 's sensibilities after shows he grew up with such as Johnny Quest, identifying them as `` really earnest and emotionally beautiful ''. To this end, he sought to make the main character of Jim `` in that ' 70s mold, '' and `` really a very good boy '' with del Toro noting that this was a constant struggle for him to express to both writers and actors. Eventually he came across Anton Yelchin, who embodied those qualities although by del Toro 's estimate it still took him a few sessions to fully understand the character. When creating the show 's narrative, del Toro noted that he wanted a `` bittersweet journey '' for the main character dealing with issues that most such `` power fantasies '' failed to address, telling indiewire `` I wanted to say, ' Look, you can be in high school and you can have your problems. Then you get all these powers and then you have a different set of problems. There is not such a thing as a final, great outcome. ' '' The show serves as one of Yelchin 's final projects as he died shortly after recording most of his character 's dialogue. Producer del Toro refused to replace his recordings, which del Toro noted was a challenge for the show 's recording engineers. Of his decision del Toro stated that the actor `` was proud of what he did, and we were so proud of how he did it. '' Del Toro added that his experience as a father and Yelchin 's young age were also factors that led to the decision.
