Olaf

**Olaf** is a viking of Torgund's clan. He appears in the Season 2 episode "Chapter 4: The Eternal Warriors" and the tie-in novel "Hilda and the White Woff". The character does not appear in the graphic novels.

## Appearance

Olaf is bald, but has a white/blonde beard. He wears an eye patch, and is missing his right arm, which he has replaced with a wooden prothesis.

## Personality

Not much is known about Olaf's personality, other than that, like his fellow vikings, he wants the Medallion of Sigurd to get rid of his fear.

## Biography

It is unknown how and when Olaf lost his arm and eye. When first seen, he, along with the rest of his clan, has been trapped in an endless fight against their rivals, the Knudsen clan, over the Medallion of Sigurd. Each night the two clans fight, after which the winners take the Medallion, and Sigurd secretly brings the defeated vikings back to life so they can reclaim the medallion.

Olaf is seen participating in a battle twice; the first time his clan wins, the second time, they loose and he gets killed. Like so many times before, he is brought back to life by Sigurd, but this time, Hilda encourages Sigurd to tell the truth and stop his revenge. Olaf is last seen when he and his clan begin to test the potion that Sigurd used to revive them.

Principal Magnusson

General
**Gallery**

**Principal Magnusson** is the principal of Edmund Ahlberg Elementary School. He is first seen in "Chapter 5: The Troll Rock".

He does not appear in any of the graphic novels, but was created for the animated series. He does appear in the novelization.

## Apperance

Magnusson is a big, balding man with a grey beard and large eyebrows.

## Personality

Magnusson is quite eccentric and a bit childish. He idolizes Edmund Ahlberg, the schools founder, and is very easy going towards the students. When the statue of Edmund Ahlberg that he was going to unveil during Parent's Night got smashed by a troll however, he considered this an epic disaster.

## Role in the series

### Animated series

In "Chapter 5: The Troll Rock", he is overseeing the parents night at the Ahlberg School. He only really has eyes for the statue of Edmund Ahlberg, however, and is counting down to the moment he gets to unveil it, which ultimately never happens. He thus misses most of the commotion surrounding the baby troll that got loose in the school.

In "Chapter 9: The Ghost", he is seen introducing the candidates for the upcomming presidential election. When he invites Frida to come up to the stage and give her speech, it turns out she's not there and he wonders if anyone has seen her.

In "Chapter 1: The Troll Circle", he is seen greeting Erik Ahlberg when the latter comes to pick up Hilda at the school. He is thrilled to have a descendant of Edmund Ahlberg visiting his school, and warns Eric that Hilda can be quite unpredictable.

### Novelization

In "Hilda and the Great Parade", Principal Magnusson takes over Ms. Hallgrim's role as the teacher who sees the Female troll when she comes to get her child back, and almost sounds the alarm but is convinced by Hilda not to do so. Another difference is that, rather than a statue, the troll wrecks the Ahlberg School's float for the Bird Parade (which depicted Edmund Ahlberg killing a troll). Principal Magnusson is thus forced to cosplay as Edmund Ahlberg on the float so the school can still participate. The events of "Chapter 9" are not included in any of the books.

Sea Bones

**Sea Bones** is a game of chance seen in the animated series.

The game involves six dice, two white and four red, decorated with various symbols, including a skull, crossed bones, a dragon and a cutlass.

In "Chapter 2: The Draugen", Wood Man is in the Salty Maiden, playing a game of Sea Bones with several sailors, including the peg legged sailor and a bearded sailor. When Hilda finds him, he has just won the last round, and claimed his price, including a boat.

## Rules

The rules of Sea Bones are left unexplained, but a few details can be gleaned from the episode.

* Including Wood Man, four people sit at the table, and two more stand nearby watching. It's possible the two sailors standing were eliminated in prior rounds, and the four at the table are the ones still in the game, so **the game can almost certainly be played with 4-6 players,** though it may be possible to play with more or less than that.
* Five of the six dice faces can be determined, as **the crossed bones are represented on at least two faces on the white dice**, if not the red dice as well.
* If two dice (possibly the white dice specifically) land on the face bearing the dragon image, this is called **Double Dragons**, Wood Man wins the pot with this roll, so Double Dragons is either an inherently favorable roll, or one that Wood Man bet on specifically.
* **Certain dice combinations have specialized names (Double Dragons),** not unlike the game of Craps, a dice game played with only two dice. Correspondingly, **it is possible that the white dice play a more pivotal role in the outcome of a game of Sea Bones than the red dice.**

Lucy Montgomery

**Lucy Montgomery** is a British actress, comedian, and writer. In the Hilda animated series, she voices the character of Gerda Gustav.

## Biography

While at Cambridge University, Montgomery was a member of Footlights, an amateur theatrical club. Subsequently, she studied at the Central School of Speech and Drama. Montgomery built her career as one third of Comedy Theatre Company Population 3, along with James Bachman and Barunka O'Shaughnessy, and she appeared as a roving reporter for the comic television program The Friday Night Project (2005). Other television work has included Bo' Selecta!, The Mighty Boosh (2003), and The IT Crowd (2006).
Nicholas

**Nicholas** is a character from season 2 of the animated series. He is a draug.

## Appearance

Like all Draugen, Nicholas looks like a humanoid, ghostly creature, with his bones visible inside his body. He has glowing eyes, and is missing part of his skull.

## Personality

Nicholas is a firm believer in rules and traditions, and can't resist the urge to bring them up if someone asks about it or if he sees a rule being broken. He is also very nervous and superstitious.

## Biography

It is unknown how long ago Nicholas died. When first seen, he is serving on a draugen ship under captain Abigail. Along with her crew, he sails the waters near Trolberg. They never return to land because they prefer to be draugen rather than ordinary Ghosts.

Nicholas encounters Hilda, Wood Man and Twig when they seek out her ship. Nicholas is terrified at the idea of having a deer-fox on board, since he claims this brings bad luck. Seeing Twig's scarf on, he says it's adorable, just like the Wood Man said earlier. When Abigail tries to kill the three visitors to make them Draugen, Nicholas blurts out that there is a tradition that states a captive sailor will be set free if they beat the Draugen in a race. Hilda immediately seizes this opportunity. Hilda and Wood Man win thanks to a weather spirit, but because Wood Man still has the sextant he stole from the ship, the Draugen keep chasing them. They even sail into Trolberg; something Nicholas does not approve since Draugen never return to land. Eventually, Hilda lures the Draugen to the local graveyard, and summons the ghosts there. Nicholas is thus reunited with the ghost of his father, and disappears into a grave with him.

## Other media

The events of "Chapter 2: The Draugen" are also adapted into the novel "Hilda and the Ghost Ship". Like in the series, Nicholas tells Hilda and Wood Man about their right to challenge the draugen to a race, which they win. However, unlike the series, the draugen return to sea after losing the race and thus are not reunited with their families on land.

Salt-Lion

A **Salt-Lion** is a large ferocious creature that resembles a cross between a fish and a tiger.

## Background

Salt-Lions are playful aquatic creatures, that are fiercely protective of their young. They can switch from docile to dangerouns on a whim. When they think their young are in danger, they will display an agressive show with loud roaring, which looks imitating but seldomly leads to them actually attacking.

They normally live underwater within the ocean. Their paws allow them to walk on land as well as swimming, thus making them amphibious, though they can only make short stints on the shore. They can leap high out of the water, and like to have competitive games like seeing who can leap the highest.

They tend to follow Draugen-ships in hopes to devour any new recruits thrown overboard.

## Appearances

### Animated series

In the animated series, a few Salt-Lions make a cameo in *Chapter 7: The Lost Clan*. They can be seen leaping out of the water while Hilda and Frida are riding a Water Spirit to the island of the Lindworm. They are not identified by name in this scene.

In "Chapter 2: The Draugen", Hilda, Twig and Wood Man encounter some Salt-Lions while sailing. Later, after having been captured by the Draugen, the Draugen try to feed the three to the Salt-Lions so they can join them as Draugen. Before this happens, Hilda challenges the Draugen to a race for their freedom.

In "Chapter 13: The Stone Forest", an adult and a young Salt-Lion are briefly seen when Tontu tells Alfur about his misadventures while trying to return home.

### Graphic novels

In the graphic novel *Hilda and the Bird Parade*, Hilda and the Great Raven encounter a young salt-lion and it's mother. The mother prepares to attack them to protect her young, but almost immediately backs off again when she is frightened by the shadow of what appears to be the Rat King (but is actually just 3 white mice). This scene was left out of the animated adaptation of the novel.

Another salt-lion is seen in one panel of "Hilda and the Stone Forest", during a compilation of Hilda's various adventures.

Red wolf (The Deerfox)

## Red wolf

This **red wolf** is the primary antagonist of the season 2 episode "Chapter 9: The Deerfox"

### Appearance

He looks like a regular wolf, but with red fur.

### Behaviour

As a carnivorous animal, the wolf is naturally very dangerous, wanting to kill and eat anyone that trespasses into his territory. He is also quite relentless when chasing his prey.

### Role in the series

The wolf is prominently featured in "Chapter 9: The Deerfox". After Twig has run away from Hilda and tries to catch a rabbit in the woods, he runs into the wolf. The wolf chases him to the ruins of Hilda's house, where Twig is able to hide from him. The following day, the wolf tracks Twig down again near a chasm, but this time Twig gets away by quickly crossing a river at the bottom, which the wolf doesn't dare to do.

When Hilda and Johanna also arrive at the chasm and try to cross it, the wolf attacks Hilda. He comes close to grabbing her, but Twig attacks him. The wolf then turns it's attention on Twig again. Hilda quickly climbs into a tree next to a cliff and orders Twig to jump into her arms. The wolf is unable to stop in time and falls off the cliff. It is unclear if whether he survived the drop, as he is not seen again after this.

Nautilus

The **Nautilus** is a small, wooden sailboat appearing in Season 2 of the animated series, and the novel "Hilda and the Ghost Ship". The name of the boat is revealed in the latter.

The boat originally belonged to an unnamed sailor, who lost it to Wood Man during a game of Sea Bones in the Salty Maiden. With his new boat, Wood Man, accompanied by Hilda and Twig, set sail to find the Draugen. After Wood Man stole a sextant from the Draugen, and their captain Abigail thus decided to make Hilda and Wood Man into members of her crew, the two challenged the Draugen to a race for their freedom. With help of a Weather Spirit, the Nautilus was able to beat the Draugen ship.

The Nautilus was eventually destroyed by the Kraken so she could feed the wood to her young.

## Trivia

* The boat is named after the submarine from Jules Verne's *Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea*.
Torgund

**Torgund** is a viking, and leader of his clan. He appears in the Season 2 episode "Chapter 4: The Eternal Warriors", and the tie-in novel "Hilda and the White Woff". His role is the same in both continuities. The character does not appear in the graphic novels.

## Appearance

Torgund is a huge, muscular man with a blonde beard and long blonde hair. He wears blue facepaint. In battle, he wields a magic sword that glows with blue light.

## Personality

Torgund is a brave fighter, but gentle towards friends and allies. When he found the injured David in the woods, he didn't hesitate to bring the boy back to his men to have his injuries treated.

Under influence of the Medallion of Sigurd, he becomes reckless, more arrogant, and is prone to rushing into battle without a plan.

## Biography

Several hundred years ago, Torgund and his clan came to the Forest of Nott to find the Medallion of Sigurd, which would forever take away their fears. They believed this would make them better warriors. Their rivals, the Knudsen clan, also came to the forest for this reason. One of the clans managed to steal the medaillion from Sigurd, but fell in battle with their rivals because their new fearlessness also made them reckless. Sigurd, angered by the theft, used a potion to restore the fallen clan back to life, and wipe their memories of the battle. Since that day, the two clans got trapped in an endless battle over the medaillon. Each night, the clan that had the Medallion would be slain in battle due tot heir recklessness, after which Sigurd revived them and the battle started over, with neither clan realizing they were trapped in a repeating loop, or how much time truly passed.

Early in "Chapter 4: The Eternal Warriors", Torgund finds David, who has fallen off a cliff and hit his head against a tree. He takes the boy with him back to the cave his clan is living in, and has his injuries treated. After David regains consciousness, Torgund invites him to become their messenger boy in the next fight with the Knudsen clan. David reluctantly agrees. Although he doesn't get to do much usefull in the battle, Torgund nevertheless allows him to use the Medallion after they won.

When David, Hilda, and Frida see how Sigurd brings the fallen Knudsen back to life, David warns Torgund. He and his men immediately set out to kill the Knudsen once more. This time, however, their lack of fear makes them too reckless to fight properly, and they end up getting killed.

The clan is revived again after Hilda and Frida convince Sigurd to stop his revenge. Sigurd also convesses the truth about what he has been doing, which Torgund actually considers quite a solid gag. When last seen, he and his clan are testing out the reviving-potion Sigurd gave them.

## Trivia

* The only part of the episode not adapted into the novel, is the ending where Sigurd confesses his prank to the Vikings and gives them the potion. It is thus unknown how Torgund reacted to the news in the tie-in series.

Tomas

**Tomas** is an elf who is briefly seen in the graphic novel "Hilda and the Midnight Giant" when Hilda visits the Elf mayor.

The mayor orders Tomas to fetch Angelina's basket, but by the time Tomas finally brings it, Angelina has already crawled into Hilda's hair and given birth to her Nittens in there.

Witches

Various witches in Witches Tower

**Witches** are humans that have learned the ability to use magic. They are unique to the animated series and do not appear in the Graphic Novels.

Since Kaisa, the Librarian, is a witch, they have technically been appearing in the show since season 1, but are not officially identified until Season 2.

## Background

In the world of Hilda, magic is a skill that, like many skills, can be learned by anyone through study and training. But while all people can thus use magic (like how Hilda summoned the Tide Mice in "Chapter 8: The Tide Mice"), Witches take it to a whole new level by devoting their lives to studying and understanding magic. It takes many years of practice to officially become a witch.

The witches living in Trolberg have a secret headquarters underneath the Library named Witches Tower. They are governed by The Committee of Three.

Witches have unfairly gained a reputation of being evil, or at least frightening.

## Familiars

Many Witches have a familiar; a living being they have a strong connection with. Most familiars are animals or supernatural creatures; historically, cats, owls and toads where most common as familiars, but some witches also had a Nisse or Forest Giant as familiar. At the end of ""Chapter 3: The Witch", when Matilda Pilqvist takes Frida as her new student, she states that Hilda would make a good familiar, proving that humans can be familiars as well.

The habbit of having a familiar has however gradually fallen out of use over time.

## Trivia

* Although they are humans, Witches have a chapter dedicated to them in *Hilda's Book of Beasts and Spirits*. It starts with a disclaimer that witches are neither, but insisted on getting an entry in the book to clear up some misconceptions about them.
* Witches are forbidden from drinking tea on tuesday.
* It is implied that there are male witches, but the majority are female.
* Witch magic is not compatible with Troll magic; spells will typically fail to do anything or go haywire, and in the rare case the spell succeeds, both witch and Troll will suffer recoil. This is why in the movie Frida could not reverse the changeling spell placed on Hilda and Baba.

Rock-Chewing Slug

**Rock-Chewing Slugs** are white slugs that live in underground places. As their name suggests, they are capable of biting through rocks, which seem to be their main diet.

Most are small, barely larger than regular slugs, but in the Stone Forest lives at least one giant-sized slug.

Trolls are afraid of them.

## Appearances

### Graphic novels

The slugs are first seen in "Hilda and the Stone Forest". A great many of them reside in the Stone Forest.

Hilda made great use of the slug's ability to chew through hard material when she had tried to find her mother and Twig, but found her path blocked by a hatch with a padlock. She picked up a slug and tricked it into biting through the padlock.

Later in the same story, Johanna and Hilda managed to temporarily escape the Two-Headed Troll that was chasing them by running into a cave filled with these slugs, including a gigantic one. The troll didn't dare to follow them there.

### Animated series

In the animated series, a rock-chewing slug has a cameo in "Chapter 4: The Sparrow Scouts", where it is seen in one of the Vittra tunnels.

The slugs are prominently featured in "Chapter 13: The Stone Forest", which adapts "Hilda and the Stone Forest". Like in that story, they populate the Stone Forest, Hilda uses one to open a padlock, and Johanna and Hilda are able to hide from the Two-Headed Troll by fleeing into a tunnel full of the slugs.

### Novelization

The slugs appear in "Hilda and the White Woff", which adapts the events of "Chapter 13: The Stone Forest". They are called rock-eating slugs here, and Hilda recalls reading about them in Emil Gammelplassen's book *Caves and their Unfriendly Occupants*.

## Trivia

* At moonrise, they move to the outer caves of the mountains.

Willy

**Willy** is a young boy who is a member of the Sparrow Scouts in the Hilda TV series.

## Appearance

He is approximately of Hilda's age. He has a slightly tanned skin, freckles, and brown, curly hair.

## Personality

Not much of him is seen in the series, but at first glance he seems to be a trouble maker, or at least a bit on the clumsy side.

In "Chapter 12: The Nisse" when, during the Sparrow Scout camp, Raven Leader send the scouts on a scavenger hunt, she specifically addressed him to remind him to stay with his group at all times. Willy himself was hiding in the bushes behind her and suddenly popped up after she called him. She had to remind him again when the groups left the camp because he accidently went the wrong way.

In "Chapter 6: The Old Bells of Trolberg", he can be seen during the Sparrow Scouts counting of the Woff.

In "Chapter 4: The Laughing Merman", he is riding a boat with Jacob, Harry and an unnamed fourth scout.

## Trivia

* For a long time he was the only Sparrow Scout besides Hilda, David, and Frida whose name has been mentioned on screen. This finally changed in Season 3 with the introduction of Louise.
* He only appears in the animated series.
* He's apparently the clumsy one of his group.

Water Spirit (the Lost Clan)

## Water Spirit

This unnamed **water spirit** is a character who appears in the animated series episode "Chapter 7: The Lost Clan", and the tie-in series book "Hilda and the Great Parade". Playing the same role within both.

## Appearance

Alike most other water spirits, it's basically a huge blob of water with white, glowing blank eyes. It can form a staircase across its body for others to climb, or a slide to let people off again.

In the animated series, the water spirit is notably larger than in the novelization, as in the latter Hilda and Frida barely fit on top of the spirit while in the animated series they had plenty of room.

## Biography

This water spirit lives in the Björgfjord. When Hilda, Frida and Alfur Aldric need a ride to Cauldron Island to see the Lindworm, Alfur instructed Hilda to blow on a conch shell to summon this water spirit so it could give them a ride across the fjord.

Rachel Atkins

**Rachel Atkins** is an English actress who in the series plays the characters Enid Hallgrim, Raven Leader, Frida's mom and the Lindworm, as well as various guest characters. She reprised all these roles for the audiobook version of the Hilda Tie-In Series.

Outside Hilda, she is known for her work on products such as *Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars*, *Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix*, and *Puppeteer* (2013).
The Squire's Folly

**The Squire's Folly** is a book belonging to Craigie Williams, which Engilbjort Williams stole and which appears in *Chapter 9: The Ghost*.

Hilda & friends mistakenly believed that Engilbjort stole Frida's book, The Legend of Great King Condon, so they challenged Engilbjort for the rights of ownership. It is only when Engilbjort concedes and gives them the book that they realize it is *The Squire's Folly.*

One definition of "folly" is "lack of good sense or normal prudence and foresight". Since Hilda & co. demonstrated a lack of foresight by failing to ask *which* book Engilbjort stole, the title of the book is likely a writer's room joke about Hilda & co.'s silly mistake.

## Personality

Not much is known about Solveig's personality, other than that, like her fellow vikings, she wants the Medallion of Sigurd to get rid of her fear.

## Biography

Solveig is one of the two women in Torgund's clan. At some point in the past, she and the rest of the clan came to the Forest of Nott to find the Medallion of Sigurd.

When first seen, Solveig, along with the rest of her clan, has been trapped in an endless fight against their rivals, the Knudsen clan, over the medallion. Each night the two clans fight, after which the winners take the Medallion, and Sigurd secretly brings the defeated vikings back to life so they can reclaim the medallion.

Solveig is seen participating in a battle twice; the first time her clan wins, the second time, they loose and she gets killed. Like so many times before, she is brought back to life by Sigurd, but this time Hilda encourages Sigurd to tell the truth and stop his revenge. Solveig is last seen when she and the rest of the clan begin to test the potion that Sigurd used to revive them.

Weather Spirit (the Draugen)

The name of this character is unknown, but he appears first in the season 2 episode The Draugen

## Media

### Voice Actor

Unknown

This unnamed **Weather Spirit** is a supporting character who appears in the Season 2 episode "Chapter 2: The Draugen", as well as the tie-in book "Hilda and the Ghost Ship".

## Personality

The weather spirit is quite full of himself; he gets anoyed if people try to talk to him, and even more so if they request him for a change in weather. He is also easy to anger if he feels he's being disrespected. When people show him respect however, he can be quite nice, though in this state he tends to brag about himself and weather spirits in general.

## Biography

### Animated series

The weather spirit is first seen when Hilda and Wood Man are sailing in the Björgfjord to try and find the Draugen. Since it's a nice, sunny day, and Draugen prefer storms, Hilda asks the weather spirit if he can make it rain for them. The spirit objects however, stating how in his youth he probably would have honored Hilda's request but as an adult he now considers himself above such banal requests. Hilda, knowing how Weather Spirits are prone to heated arguments, quickly states that it is now considered indecent to precipitate in front of others. Just as Hilda was hoping, this statement angers the Weather Spirit, and he grows into a huge thunder cloud, thus creating the storm she and Wood Man wanted.

The weather spirit appears again later in the episode when Hilda and Wood Man are trying to beat the Draugen and their ship in a race to win their freedom. The Draugen have the advantage since it's still storming. Hilda apologizes to the weather spirit for her earlier remarks, and even invites him to tell her all about his opinions about the true nature of weather spirits. The Spirit thus calms down, ending the storm, and the hot air generated by the Spirit's bragging gives Wood Man's boat the momentum it needs to beat the Draugen.

### Novelization

The plot of "Chapter 2: The Draugen" is adapted into the book "Hilda and the Ghost Ship". In this book however, Hilda and Wood Man find the Draugen without any help. The Weather Spirit instead shows up for the first time during the race. And instead of coaxing the spirit into bragging, Hilda tells him some jokes about Wood Man which cause the spirit to laugh so hard he creates a strong wind that allows Hilda and Wood Man to win the race.

Shoe-stealing ghost

The real name of this characters is unknown. The current naming of the article comes from the fact that this ghost loves to steal people's shoes

## Media

### Only Appearance

"Chapter 9: The Deerfox"

This **Unnnamed ghost** is a minor character appearing in the Season 2 episode "Chapter 9: The Deerfox"

## Appearance

Like all ghosts, he has a transparant body and a glowing skull. He barely carries any bones in his body though.

## Biography

It is unknown when this ghost was alive. He currently resideds in some ruins near Trolberg.

When he is first seen in "Chapter 9: The Deerfox", he has somehow stolen David's shoes. The exact circumstances behind this are never revealed, though Alfur remarks he has contradicting information about the event. Hilda, Frida and David try to sneak up on him to get the shoes back, but David ruins it when he steps into a puddle. The ghost thus notices them coming, pushes David in the mud, and flees down a pit, mocking them, "You snooze, you lose your shoes!"

At the end of the episode, the 3 friends try it again, this time helped by Twig. Thanks to Twig, the plan succeeds and David's shoes are recovered. The ghost threatens to come back for them and their shoes, but leaves disappointed when it is clear they are not afraid of him simply by Frida saying, "Oh, boo off."

He's not seen again after the episode, meaning the ghost really did back off.

White Woffs

The **White Woffs** are as their name suggests, a subspecies of woff that appears in both the animated series and the novelization. It makes no appearance in any of the graphic novels.

## Appearance

These woffs look pretty much the same as any regular Woff, except they have white fur rather than brown.

## Biography

A White Woff is first seen in "Chapter 6: The Old Bells of Trolberg". At the start of the episode, Frida states she hopes to see a White Woff because spotting one means that Magic is especially powerful that lunar cycle. At the end of the episode, the white woff is briefly seen.

In "Chapter 13: The Stone Forest", Frida and David find the white woff sleeping among a herd of Woff. Frida tries to approach the white woff, but inadvertently wakes it and the other woff up and startles them. In their panic, they collide with the zeppelin of the Trolberg Safety Patrol, causing it to crash. In the climax of the episode, the White Woff returns and catches Hilda and Twig after they jump off a cliff to escape the Two-Headed Troll. This same scene also happens in "Hilda and the White Woff".

In "Chapter 8: The Fairy Isle", a whole flock of White Woffs is seen in Fairy Country. Hilda and Johanna ride one to follow Lydia to her house. The fact that white woff are not rare in Fairy Country is also brought up in the tie-in book Hilda and the Fairy Village".

## Trivia

* In the graphic novel "Hilda and the Stone Forest", from which Chapter 13 is adapted, it was The Great Raven that saved Hilda and Twig from the two-headed troll rather than the white woff.
* According to "Hilda's Book of Beasts and Spirits", seeing a White Woff is a good luck sign for witches.

Nittens

**Nittens** are tiny, feline like creatures, about the size of lice.

## About

The cat like nittens are kept as pets by Elves, like the Elf mayor, who has a female nitten named Angelina. Which female nittens given birth to a litter of new born nittens.

Nittens like to hide in human hair, and presumably also animals. While there, they can cause symptoms identical to head lice, most prominently an itchy skin. Nonetheless not like real head lice causing head issues.

Angelina and her young are velourian silkhair. It's unknown how many other breeds of Nittens there are.

## History

In "Chapter 1: The Hidden People", Angelina hides in Hilda's hair and gives birth here. Her litter is found crawling around in Hilda's hair at the start of "Chapter 2: The Midnight Giant". This same scenario also happened in the graphic novel "Hilda and the Midnight Giant" and the novelization "Hilda and the Hidden People". In the latter, Alfur mentions he would bring the Nittens back to Angelina.

In "Chapter 5: The Troll Rock", Hilda takes the Nittens to school as a project for Parents Night, but they escape due to a Baby troll and infect several people, including Ms. Hallgrim and Principal Magnusson. This scenario did not happen in the graphic novels. The novelization "Hilda and the Great Parade" also shows Hilda bringing the Nittens to school for her Wonderful Trolberg project (which means Alfur didn't return them to Angelina after all, despite his claims). Like in the animated series, they escape thanks to the baby troll, but the aftermath is not shown.

In "Chapter 12: The Replacement", Alfur is revealed to own a Nitten named Peppercorn.

According to Hilda's World: A guide to Trolberg, the wilderness, and beyond, Hilda still has the jar with the nittens in her room. She leaves the lid off so the nittens can roam free, but they keep coming back to the jar since they appreciate the coziness.

## Trivia

* The word "Nittens" is a mixture of the words "Nits" and "Kittens". This can be seen because the prefix "Nit" comes from "Nit", and "Tens" from "Kitten".

Mangler

The **Mangler** is a sidearm developed and used by the sirius defense forces.

## Design details

The mangler is a highly powerful handgun that fires spike projectiles with close-range precision and immense stopping power. It has an eight round swing-out cylinder reloaded using a speedloader-like device. It fires large spike rounds likely using an explosive charge or powder encased in red metallic cartridges. The actual projectiles are perfectly cylindrical before firing, and appear to warp somewhat after firing, indicating they may not be completely solid. The mangler also has a pair of tandem bayonets arranged in a tusk-like formation under the barrel for melee attacks.
Stolen Goat

* Graphic Novel
* Series

This unnamed **goat** is a character who appears in the graphic novel, "Hilda and the Stone Forest" and the animated series, "Chapter 13: The Stone Forest" plus the tie-in series book, "Hilda and the White Woff". Which it played the same role in each.

## Biography

The goat originally belonged to an unnamed Farmer who lives just outside the walls of Trolberg. When Hilda first met the farmer, he told her how a troll stole his goat the night before.

After Hilda, Johanna and Twig end up in the Stone Forest, they learn that Trylla is the troll that stole the goat and is now using the animal as a beast of burden to transport her loot. Hilda, Johanna and Twig hide among the loot, and thus Trylla unknowingly ends up smuggling the three of them out of the Stone Forest. Unfortunately, when they are outside, Twig gets stuck in the loot, and at that same time the Two-Headed Troll attacks Trylla and her friends and steals the goat. He takes the goat, and thus Twig, back to his lair, and Johanna follows him to rescue Twig. The goat is not seen again after Johanna and Twig escape from the Two-Headed Troll's lair, leaving it unclear what became of the animal.

## Trivia

* In the animated series, Hilda's encounter with the farmer happens in "Chapter 1: The Troll Circle", but the reveal what became of the animal only comes at the end of the season in "Chapter 13: The Stone Forest", thus making the theft of the goat a season long brick joke.
* The goat is unusually strong, considering the load it is able to carry (which at it's height includes the weight of Johanna, Hilda and Twig).
* In "Hilda and the White Woff", it is never revealed who the goat originally belonged to, since the farmer does not appear in this book.

List of Minor creatures

Because Hilda features a diverse cast of creatures, there are multiple minor creatures that have only been seen once, often no more than a cameo, and never given a proper name in the series. They will be listed here:

## Animated series

### Footprint creature

This footprint may be from Jorgen, but so far, it hasn’t been confirmed.

### Flying Pigs

This unseen creature was mentioned by Alfur in *The Lost Clan* when he stated that events in which pigs gain the ability to fly occur “with some regularity”.

### Ground Cows

These creatures are shown to live in the underground portion of Gorrill Gardens. They resemble cows, but only come up to Hilda's waist. A Vittra is shown herding them in *The Sparrow Scouts*, and another is seen painting one.

### Tailed Butterfly

One butterfly briefly landed on Hilda's hand. The other was high up in a tree.
In *The Deerfox*, one of these butterflies appears during a flashback sequence.
In *Hilda and the Mountain King*, Baba escapes Tontu's attention and wanders off into the streets of Trolberg while chasing one of these butterflies.

### Moss Creature

It was resting on a tree on some actual moss, but retreated when Hilda took a closer look while trying to navigate her way back to Trolberg (using the navigation technique that moss always grows on the north side of trees).

## Novelization & other books

### Snaggletooth python

A creature that is briefly mentiond by David in "Hilda and the White Woff", but not actually seen. It is presumably some kind of snake.

### Will-o-the-wisp

The Skeleton Whisperer

**The Skeleton Whisperer** is an overdue library book that plays a key role in "Chapter 3: The Witch".

## Role in the series

Kaisa is tasked with retrieving the book before the 30 years are up, or risk being send to the Void of No Return if she fails. Hilda and Frida help her navigate Matilda's maze. Once at Matilda's house, Matilda doesn't know where the book is, but Hilda deduces her familiar Cornelius ate it.

## Contents

The title of the book, the high stakes of the episode, and the fact that Abigail of The Committee of Three described it as a "sensitive and potentially dangerous magical text" suggest that *The Skeleton Whisperer* is a powerful necromancy spellbook of some kind.

However, the cover of the book indicates that it is probably a romance novel.
