== Personality ==
According to the Trolls DVD extra, he was originally going to be a crazy old man by the time the current Trolls storyline had begun, not even able to recognise when people were talking about him. This idea was dropped in favour of him being a wise teacher to Poppy. Some scenes of him as the senile old man still remain in the movie despite the rewrite of his character.
King Peppy is shown as a wise teacher in Trolls: The Beat Goes On! and has sage advice on things. Though he has his eccentric side as well. For example in the episode Royal Review, he gives his daughter a frowny face in the primary vote to teach her a lesson, though he isn't clear what the lesson was himself. As he stated "I'm old, I do what I want".

The greatest of which was mentioned in Scrapbookmobile being "King Peppy and the Hug of Power", the scrapbook of which was one of the most popular scrapbooks in Troll Village. He is also one of the few remaining Pop Trolls who knew of the existence of other Tribes.
At some point in the past, either during or before his reign the Bergens came along after one of them ate a member of his Tribe. They built over time Bergen Town and started a tradition of once a year gathering around The Troll Tree to taste happiness. While it is unknown the death toll and numbers lost to the annual event, as only Grandma Rosiepuff had ever been named as one of their presumed victims. Peppy was determined to free his people and 20 years ago on the last Trollstice, when his daughter Princess Poppy was due to be eaten by Prince Gristle, he freed the Trolls from Bergen Town and lead them to freedom.
They rebuilt their civilization deep within the forest away from the town.
20 years later Princess Poppy threw a party to celebrate her father's efforts. However, the loud party attracted the Bergen Chef who took The Snack Pack save Poppy. King Peppy, being too old to fight the Bergens, wanted to run away but Poppy insisted she went after her friends. Peppy tried to stop hi daughter, but he refused much to his dismay.
He and the other Trolls hid in Branch's Survival Bunker (much to his dismay) while she went off to save her friends.
Later he hears his daughter's cowbell playind causing the other trolls and him to come out of higing, only to find Creek was the one playing it and as a consequence be captured by the Bergens lead by Chef.
At the Bergen Castle, the entire Troll village is thrown into a pot where he and Poppy are reunited. Poppy however is sad as her attempts to save her friends lead to the entire village being captured. She looses her color and becomes grey, then the entire village including Peppy looses theirs. Branch manages to bring back Poppy's colors using song which causes the other Trolls to get theirs back.
Bridget, a Bergen that Poppy had befriended during her rescue attempt sets the Trolls free and they make a bid for Troll Village. Poppy goes back to save Bridget as she had sacrificed herself for their sake.
