Walking Land Creature

The creature is not called by name in the graphic novels

* Animated series
* Graphic Novels

The **Walking Land Creature** is an odd creature that's practically nothing but a piece of earth with legs.

A member of the species first appeared in the book, "Hilda and the Stone Forest", and also in season 2 of the animated series. Another named Loam appears in the Tie-in book "Hilda and the Fairy Village" and in season 3 of the series.

## Appearance

Walking Land Creatures looks like a patch of earth with grass, but with four white legs that allow it to walk. Theyt also have a white tail. They have no other distinct features like eyes, a mouth or a nose.
They can dig themselves into the ground to blend in with the rest of the environment. Their behaviour closely resembles that of a domesticated dog.

The ones seen in the graphic novels and season 2 of the series are about the size of a young deer-fox. Loam however is big enough to carry 2 adult humans. It is unknown if this means the smaller creature was a juvenile.

## Biography

### Graphic novels

At the start of "Hilda and the Stone Forest", Hilda and Twig had to save an elf house from one of these creatures. They chased the creature all the way out of Trolberg to the railroad before finally catching up with it and retrieving the house. The creature tried to follow them home afterwards, but Hilda told it to stay put.

Near the end of the story, Hilda and Johanna encountered the creature again in the Stone Forest, and followed it to the exit. This time, Hilda allowed the creature to come home with them.

In the next story, "Hilda and the Mountain King", the creature went with Johanna, Baba and Tontu to the mountains to search for Hilda, who had been turned into a Troll. Johanna ordered the creature to track Hilda down, but instead it dug itself into the ground and ignored her. It was not seen again afterwards.

### Animated series

The scene where Hilda has to save an elf and his house from a walking land creature was adapted into the opening scene of "Chapter 1: The Troll Circle", and plays out exactly like it did in the graphic novel.

The creature is however absent from the rest of the season, including "Chapter 13: The Stone Forest", which adapts the bulk of Hilda and the Stone Forest. He does not show up in the Stone Forest, and doesn’t come home with Hilda and Johanna. It also therefore does not appear in the movie adaptation of the final graphic novel.

In "Chapter 1: The Train to Tofoten", Astrid is revealed to have a pet walking land creature named Loam.

### Novelization

A walking land creature has a cameo early in "Hilda and the White Woff", when David startles it.

Astrid's pet walking land creature, Loam, appears in "Hilda and the Fairy Village".

Garth

**Garth** is a character who appears in the Season 3 episode "Chapter 5: The Job" and it's tie-in novel adaptation "Hilda and the Faratok Tree". His name is only revealed in the latter.

## Appearance

Garth is a short man with brown skin and black hair, though he is balding. He also has a small beard.

## Biography

### Animated series

Garth works for The Polecat along with Gunther. The two however don't like each other at all and constantly bicker.

They are first seen when the Polecat hires Anders and Hilda to pick up a package at the castle ruins, where Gunther and Garth are already waiting. On arrival they find the package is a huge wooden chest that is at the bottom of a hole. Gunther and Garth have no way of getting the chest out of the hole since Gunther forgot to bring a rope, and are also pissed that the Polecat send Anders instead of coming himself. Anders fetches them a rope from the Polecat's truck, and on his instructions they use a rafter at the ceiling to make a pulley to haul the chest out. As they get to work, Gunther tells Anders and Hilda how the chest belongs to a Troll's hoard and is filled with gold. This upsets Hilda, and she refuses to further help them, leading to an argument and eventually a fight in which Anders fights with Garth and Gunther is atacked by Twig. Then first Johanna shows up, having learned about Hilda's and Anders' whereabouts from David, and then the troll whose treasure they are stealing. The troll causes Hilda to drop the keys of the truck. Gunther and Garth immediately grab the keys and run off, leaving Anders, Johanna and Hilda to deal with the angry troll. they are not seen again.

### Tie-in book

Their role in the tie-in book is largely identical to the animated series. A difference is that here Anders has no rope either, so Hilda offers to get a rope, and eventually gets one after an adventure in the past with the Faratok tree. They also briefly end up on the rafter with Hilda when the Troll comes to reclaim his loot; something that does not happen in the animated series. And Johanna never meets them as she shows up at the ruins after the two have already left.

Johanna's Car (alpha)

* Animated series
* Graphic novels

**Johanna's car** is vehicle that was owned by Johanna in both the graphic novel series and the animated series. It got destroyed during the movie.

## Description

It was a dark-yellow colored car that has been in her possessions since some time before the start of the series. She used to drive between her and Hilda's old house in the forest and Trolberg for work and groceries. Later, when Johanna and Hilda went to live in Trolberg, the car is also used for them to get around town and is parked outside their new apartment.

Besides the animated series, this version of the car also appeared in the graphic novel series, most prominently "Hilda and the Mountain King". In that story, the car got destroyed by a troll fight between Hilda and Trundle's brother, which Hilda won. This scene is also included in the movie.

### Appearances

Season 1
* Chapter 1: The Hidden People (seen outside the house)
* Chapter 2: The Midnight Giant
* Chapter 3: The Bird Parade
* Chapter 8: The Tide Mice
* Chapter 10: The Storm
* Chapter 12: The Nisse
* Chapter 13: The Black Hound

Season 2
* Chapter 6: The Old Bells of Trolberg
* Chapter 8: The Fifty Year Night
* Chapter 9: The Deerfox
* Chapter 13: The Stone Forest (seen outside and mentioned)

Movie
* Hilda and the Mountain King (movie) (final appearance)

### Trivia

* In the graphic novels, the car is a British model with the steering wheel on the right side, while in the animated series it has the steering wheel on the left side.
* The car got seriously damaged three times in the series. The first time when a possessed Johanna drove it of a small cliff at the coast in "Chapter 8: The Tide Mice". Later at the end of "Chapter 13: The Black Hound" it got destroyed again, but more serious when it was launched out of the Nowhere Space of the outside world. It was repaired afterwards. In Hilda and the Mountain King (movie) it got destroyed again after a group of Trolls attacked Johanna while she searched for Hilda. This time the car was destroyed beyond repair.
* Director Andy Coyle confirmed in a interview that the car was destroyed and wouldn't come back in season three. According to him, some parts of the car are now taken and in possession of the troll that collects car parts, as seen in the movie.
* The car striking resembles a Trabant 601.
* The car's destruction is brought up in "Chapter 5: The Job", when Anders asks Hilda if her mom has a car he can borrow for his job for The Polecat, and she tells him no because a troll stepped onto it. The Polecat finds the story funny and tells Hilda they should always get the troll insurance.
* The events from the movie are not adapted into any of the tie-in books, but for some reason Johanna still buys a new car in "Hilda and the Laughing Merman".

Peppercorn

**Peppercorn** is the pet-nitten of Alfur Aldric. She lives with him in his house within Hilda's house, and is first seen in "Chapter 12: The Replacement". She is only a minor character in that episode.

While it is not stated in the series itself, she is most likely one of the nittens that Angelina gave birth to in Hilda's hair in "Chapter 1: The Hidden People". She has the same mousey brown fur as Angelina and her young. What sets her apart from them is the fact that her paws, the tip of her tail, and a patch of fur around her right eye are a different color.

While Alfur loves her, Alvin did not when he came to replace Alfur as the Trolberg Correspondent.

Knudsen clan

The **Knudsen clan** is one of the two groups of vikings seen in the Season 2 episode "Chapter 4: The Eternal Warriors" and it's adaptation "Hilda and the White Woff". Their role is the same in both continuities.

They are led by Knudsen and wield magical weapons that glow with red light when used.

## Members

Like their rivals, Torgund's clan, the clan consists of six members; four men and two women.

Their leader Knudsen is the only one that gets mentioned by name in the episode. The names of the other members are revealed in the official character sheet:

* Knudsen
* Gunnhild
* Fergurdsen
* Errol
* Redsdottir
* Hrothgar

## History

Several hundred years ago, the Knudsen 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, Torgund's 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.

When they are first seen in "Chapter 4: The Eternal Warriors", the Knudsen have the medaillon, meaning that they won the last round. They get ambushed and killed by Torgund's clan, which this night included David. The following day, David, Frida and Hilda see how Sigurd restores the fallen Knudsen clan to life. David warns Torgund's clan, and another battle follows, but since the Torgunds have used the Medallion, they lose this time around. The Knudsen Clan thus reclaim the medaillon.

After the fight, the cycle is finally broken when Hilda and Frida convince Sigurd that it was better to stop reviving the clans. Sigurd used his potion one last time to revive Torgund's clan, but this time admitted the truth and gave them the potion. The Knudsen thus got to keep the medaillon.

## Trivia

* In addition of a clever censorship approach by the showrunners considering expected violence in fighting scenes between both Viking Clans, enchanted weapons wielded by both Torgund's clan and Knudsen's clan don't just glow at the wielder's will, but also instantly cauterize wounds inflicted by it with magic energy of same color from weapons in question regardless of its severity.

The House in the Woods (creature)

The **House in the Woods** is a magical, sentient house first seen in the titular episode.

## Appearance

The House is located in the middle of the Great Forest outside Trolberg.

From the outside, it looks like a normal wooden/brick cabin with two floors and an attic.

In its default state, the interior looks like one would expect from a house; a furnished living room, kitchen, and at least one bedroom. The house can however freely change its internal appearance to any form it desires, even normally impossible ones. These involve becoming much bigger on the inside, and warping dimensions and geometries around to bizarre shapes.

## Behavior

The House lures in unexpected visitors, and keeps them trapped. While they are inside it, the house will provide them with anything they wish for, which it can conjure up out of nothing. However, it will never let its victims escape if possible. To this end, the house will lock up, teleport victims back inside if they try to escape through the windows, and change its entire interior to bizarre shapes to confuse the victim. It appears to be able to read the victim's mind beside what they wishes too, as it knows Hilda and Wood Man's relatives and put them into picture frames inside the house.

It can however even create a doorway to any other place on earth in case it decides to let a victim go.

## Weakness

There seems to be no limit to what the house can create, but there is a limit to how much it can create at once. When the victims demand too many objects at the same time, the house overloads and the summoned objects begin to flicker in and out of existence.

## History

In "Chapter 11", Hilda and the Wood Man end up trapped in the house after getting lost in the Wilderness, and barely escaping from a Forest Giant. Later, Alfur, Twig and The Great Raven, who were looking for Hilda, also end up trapped in the House.

Hilda however was able to figure out the house's weakness, and the five of them began to overload it, driving the house to the limit of its abilities. When at the height of this Hilda demanded a way home, the House gave in and created a door straight back to Hilda's house in Trolberg.

## Trivia

Todd Casey

**Todd Casey** is an American writer and producer. He wrote the episodes "Chapter 10: The Yule Lads" and "Chapter 12: The Replacement" for Season 2 of the Hilda animated series.

Besides Hilda, he is known for his work on *Star vs the forces of Evil*, *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles*, *Thundercats*, *Batman: The Brave and the Bold* and *Krampus*.
The Polecat

**The Polecat**, real name unknown, is a character appearing in the Season 3 episode "Chapter 5: The Job" and it's tie-in adaptation "Hilda and the Faratok Tree".

## Appearance

The Polecat is a skinny man with than skin. The book describes him as a hungry-eyed man wearing a huge fur coat and a deerstalker cap.

## Personality

The Polecat is quite a shady man with a bad reputation amongst the sailers of The Salty Maiden. When he enters the tavern, everybody falls silent or tries to ignore him. He doesn't like to get his own hands dirty, especially not if a job is dangerous, and thus hires whoever is willing to do the job for him, no questions asked.

In the tie-in books, he also has a low tolerance for people who ask questions he regards unnecessary or stupid. This character trait is absent in the animated series.

## Biography

### Animated series

At some point prior to his first appearance, The Polecat bribed a Vittra and thus learned a Troll had hidden a large hoard in the ruins of Fort Ahlberg. When he investigated, he discovered the stories were true. The hoard consisted mostly of empty boxes, but among them was a chest filled with gold. Overjoyed, the Polecat accidentally knocked down a lamp and thus gave himself away. He barely escaped the angry troll, who threw a rock at his truck as the Polecat drove off.

Determined to get the treasure, the Polecat send his associates Gunther and Garth to get the chest for him from the ruins. When he first appears, he enters The Salty Maiden shorty after Anders has arrived in Trolberg and is having lunch there with Hilda and her friends The Polecat is looking for someone that can pick up the chest for him. Most guests in the tavern quickly look the other way, but Hilda, who wants her father to stay around for a while, immediately volunteers him so he can have a job. The Polecat hires Anders and offers him a large reward if he can get the job done before sunset. Since Anders had no car, he loans Anders his truck. Hilda, who knows a faster way to the castle ruins, comes along, though the Polecat makes it clear he will not pay extra for her services.

He is not seen again after this, making it unclear what became of him.

### Tie-in books

In the tie-in book, the Polecat also hires Anders to pick up the chest at the Castle Ruins. While in the series he gets along well with Anders and Hilda, here he is much more aggressive. He gets annoyed when Anders asks him where the Castle Ruins are exactly, as he is not familiar with the Trolberg area. And while he willingly gave Anders his truck in the animated series, here he does so with great reluctance.

Water Spirits (Caves of Kismet)

## Water Spirits

These two unnamed **Water Spirits** are supporting characters in the tie-in novel "Hilda and the Hidden People". They are unique to the tie-in series and do not appear in either the graphic novels or the animated series.

## Appearance

They look like other water spirits, except they have visibile mouths while most water spirits lack these. One of the spirits carries a lilypad on top of it's head.

They are capable of speech.

## Biography

The spirits reside in the Caves of Kismet where, along with the Jester elf, they guard two of the caves as part of the final test that anyone who wishes to visit the Elf Prime Minister must pass; one cave is where the Prime Minister lives, the other supposedly contains a flesh eating troll. Hilda can ask the water spirits one question only to find out which is the right cave, with the added twist that one spirit will answer truthfully while the other will lie. Hilda's solution is to ask the spirits what the other spirit would say if she asks him if the prime minister lives in the cave she is about to choose. They answer "no", which for Hilda is enough a sign that she picked the right cave.

Besides Hilda, he is mostly known for playing Sgt. Dan Scott on *Midsomer Murders*, Lowell in *Alice in Wonderland* and for his recurring role in *Poldark*.

## Biography

John Hopkins was born in London, and majored in English at the University of Leeds from 1993 to 1996. As an undergrad, he joined the university's drama group and appeared in several plays, ultimately winning the "Sunday Times" student-actor award for his performance in "A Short Play About Sex and Death."
Hopkins was admitted to the London Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, from which he graduated in 2001. Almost immediately, he was recruited by the Royal Shakespeare Company, with which he performed his first repertory season, from 2001 to 2002. Around this time, he was also noticed by television producers, and, after minor roles in "Love in a Cold Climate" and "Trial and Retribution 7," he was offered and accepted the role of Sergeant Scott in the British whodunit television series *Midsomer Murders* (1997).

Elf Prime Minister

* Animated series
* Graphic novel

The ***Prime Minister*** (real name unknown) is the one of the highest ranking rulers of the Elves, second only to the king. He governs The Northern Counties.

The prime minister appears in the animated series, the graphic novels, and the tie-in novels. His role in the story is identical in all incarnations.

## Appearance

He is a slender build elf with white skin and grey hair. He always wears a suit with a tie.

## Personality

Like many of the Elves, he dislikes the humans living near any of the elf villages due to them constantly stepping on the elves houses which, even though they can't touch them, still scares the elves. When he ran for Prime Minister, he made the eviction of these humans (Hilda and Johanna) the main focus of his campaign. This is why he was elected.

## Biography

The Prime Minister resides in a building hidden in a cave behind the great waterfall. The cave is unnamed in the graphic novels and animated series, but is named the "Caves of Kismet" in "Hilda and the Hidden People". The Prime Minister has his personal army; the Prime Minister's cavalry.

He is first seen when Hilda came to seek him out, after Alfur had helped her fill in the proper paperwork so she could finally see the Elves. Hilda tried to negotiate a truce between the humans and elves. Although the Prime Minister admitted he had nothing against Hilda and her mom personally, and only promised to have them evicted since he knew this would get him elected, he also stated the situation was now out of his hands. Only the King himself could arrange a truce.

Raven Leader

General
**Gallery**

* Animated series
* Graphic Novels

The **Raven Leader** (real name unknown, she's only addressed by her title) is the leader of the Sparrow Scouts in the animated series, the graphic novels, and novelization.

## Appearance

She is an adult woman of undetermined age. She has black eyes, and greying hair.

She is always seen in her Sparrow Scouts uniform.

## Personality

Raven Leader is a strict but fair leader. She doesn't have much tolerance for kids stepping out of line, but has her priorities in check; when she caught Hilda and David sneaking off in the night during camp, but they told they saw the Black Hound, she didn't punish them since evacuating the camp was more important. She clearly cares for the children under her care. In "Hilda and the Black Hound", she could be seen cheering up Hilda when it was clear the girl would not earn any badges that year.

## Role in the series

In all incarnations of the franchise, she appears to be the only leader of the Sparrow Scouts, and in general one of very few adults associated with the scouts.

She is responsible for taking the oath from new recruits, assigning the Sparrow Scouts their badge challenges, handing out earned badges during the badge ceremony, supervise the end-of-year camp, and (in the animated series) oversee the auditions for the Warblers.

Simon Greenall

**Simon James Greenall** (born January 3, 1958) is an English actor, writer, producer and voice artist. In the Hilda tv-series, he voices various guest characters.

Outside Hilda, he is well known for his roles as Michael in the BBC TV series *I'm Alan Partridge*, as well as in *Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa*, the Caretaker in the CBBC game show *Trapped!*, Richard in *Lucy Sullivan Is Getting Married* and various roles in TV comedies.
Woff cave

The **Woff Cave** is a cave near Tofoten where Woff like to make their nests.

The cave is located inside a hill at the foot of Mount Fødsel. It has an opening in the top. On the inside the cave has many tunnels and holes in which Woff make their nests and hatch their eggs.

The cave is mentioned in "Hilda and the Fairy Village" when Astrid learns that The Pooka stole a woff egg, and orders Loam to bring it back. However, none of the characters are seen visiting the cave in this story.

The cave is featured more prominently in season 3 of the animated series, in the episode "Chapter 1: The Train to Tofoten". In this episode, reather than sending Loam to return the Woff Egg to the cave, Hilda, Johanna, David, Frida, Tontu, Twig and Alfur bring the egg to the cave themselves. They watch the egg hatch. When the Woff wake up and accidentally destroy part of the platform they were standing on, Johanna instructs everyone to jump on a Woff and let the Woff carry them out of the cave.

Red wolves

**Red wolves** are a species of wolves that appear in the animated series.

Only one member of the species is ever seen in the show itself, and serves as the primary antagonsit of the season 2 episode "Chapter 9: The Deerfox". It is however confirmed by "Hilda's World: A guide to Trolberg, the wilderness, and beyond" that there are more red wolves, since the book warns travelers going into the wilderness to look out for the animals. This is further proven in "Chapter 2: The Fairy Mound", when Astrid mentions "Red Wolves".

Red wolves look like regular wolves but with red fur. They are carnivorous in nature. Since the red wolf from "Chapter 9: The Deerfox" was alone, this could indicate red wolves are solitary creatures whereas regular wolves live in packs.

 Other kids
Jaðarrokk

**Jaðarrokk** is a giant who appears in the graphic novels, the animated series and the novelizations.

He lived deep within the Mountains of Misfortune. According to his official biography, he rarely saw the other giants, preferring the company of his six extra heads. However, in all his appearances he is seen among other giants.

## Appearance

Jaðarrokk is enormous, rock-based behemoth with a number of six heads plus one upon his left shoulder.

## Biography

### Graphic novels

In the graphic novels, Jaðarrokk is only seen on a two-page image in "Hilda and the Midnight Giant" depicting the giants of old. He plays no direct part in any of the stories as the giants left Earth long ago by the time the graphic novel is set.

### Animated series

In "Chapter 2: The Midnight Giant", Jaðarrokk appears in both a book from Wood Man about the giants of old, and in a flashback when Wood Man tells Hilda about the history of the giants.

In "Chapter 3: The Giantslayer", Hilda and Wood Man meet the ancient giants after traveling 3000 years into the past because of the Faratok tree. Jaðarrokk is one of them. He is first seen in a valley, and later when attending a meeting with the other giants where they decide they have to leave the Earth. At the end of the episode, they follow up on this decision and leap off the planet into space.

### Novelization

The events of "Chapter 3: The Giantslayer" are adapted into "Hilda and the Faratok Tree". His role here is largely similar to the animated series. One difference is that in the book Drib is also attending the meeting, and Jaðarrokk carries him just like he did in the graphic novel. The giants decide the Earth has become too small for them and they should move into space. Hilda tries to convince the giants otherwise, but a second attack by Halvor and his troops proves the final straw and one by one the giants leap off the Earth, Jaðarrokk included.

The Wood Man's Head

**The Wood Man's Head** is a short Hilda comic drawn by Luke Pearson. The comic was never published in any of the graphic novels, but is instead available on Luke Pearson's official Deviant Art account.

## Synopsis

Hilda and the Wood Man are wandering around the Wilderness. Hilda wonders how Wood Man's head stays in place since he has no neck. Wood Man tells her his head will stay in place as long as he concentrates on it to some extend. Wanting to test this theory, Hilda starts tickling the Wood Man. This causes Wood Man's head to pop off his body, roll down a hill and fall into a river. Hilda dives into the water to get the head, but forgets she can't swim. She manages to use Wood Man's head to stay afloat, until Wood Man uses a branch to pull her out of the water. A visibly annoyed Wood Man puts his head back in place, while Hilda clearly feels ashamed of what she did.

Stone Forest

* Animated series
* Graphic novels

The **Stone Forest** is a huge network of caves hidden deep in the mountains just outside Trolberg. It's name comes from the dozens of tree-like stone pillars that support the roof of these caves, which give it the appearance of a thick forest. It is left ambigious if these pillars are acutal trees that somehow petrified, or if they only look like trees.

In the graphic novels, the forest is first seen in "Hilda and the Stone Forest" after Hilda and Johanna end up here after an incident with Nowhere Space. The forest also appears in the next story "Hilda and the Mountain King". In the animated series, the forest first appears in "Chapter 13: The Stone Forest", and it's adaptation "Hilda and the White Woff".

The caves are the homes to many different trolls, who hide here during the daytime. There is also a large population of Rock-Chewing Slugs, including at least one gigantic slug.

The caves form a complicated maze in which only Trolls know their way. There is at least one central chamber with a waterfall and a small lake called the plunge pool. In the animated series, the main entrance to the forest can close and open on it's own.

The entrances to the Stone Forest can be closed off by trolls to prevent anyone from finding the forest during the day.

## Trivia

* The mountain that the stone forest is in is called Boot Mountain in the tie-in novels. The graphic novels and animated series don't mention the name of the mountain.

## Biography

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.

Redsdottir is seen participating in a battle twice; the first time her clan has the medaillion, and due to the loss of fear they are too reckless to put up a smart fight and are all killed. The following day, however, Sigurd revives them with a potion, which also restores their fear and erases their memories of the last battle. With their fear restored, the Knudsen fight much better the second time around and take the medallion from Torgund's clan. They are not seen again after this fight, leaving Redsdottir's fate unknown.

Time Worm

### Voice Actor

A **Time Worm** is a large, worm-like creature that appears in "Chapter 8: The Fifty Year Night" and it's adaptation "Hilda and the Time Worm". It does not appear in the Graphic Novels.

## Appearance

The Time Worm is a gigantic, worm-like creature with a white and blue body. Its head consists of 3 holes, one of which it can expand to devour people and objects. It has no brain.

## Behaviour

The Time Worm can freely travel through time and space by using time holes; rips between dimensions that open up when a new reality occurs.

Its task is to keep the timeline clear of any anomalies, to ensure that there is only ever one true timeline. If, through time travel, the past is changed and a new timeline is created, the time worm will appear to devour any leftovers of the old timeline until only the new time line is left. Including people that should no longer exist.

Chances of surviving a Time Worm attack are almost zero.

## Role in the series

The Time Worm is first seen in "Chapter 8: The Fifty Year Night" when Hilda uses an enchanted copy of the magazine Trolberg Digest to travel back in time, and change the past so her neighbor Peter Ostenfeld and Matilda Pilqvist end up together (originally, they never saw each other again after their first date). This creates an alternate timeline in which Peter was never her neighbor, and the Hilda that met him and subsequently time travelled should thus not exist.

A future version of Hilda comes to warn her for the time worm, but the warning arrives too late. The worm first attacks and devours the various versions of Peter Ostenfeld that had been using time travel to relive the night with Tildy. When the worm turns its attention to Hilda. Hilda's future version distracts the worm, and is eaten by it, while Hilda herself travels back to her own time. The worm easily follows her there, so Hilda seeks out help from Tildy. Tildy is able to magically freeze the worm for a moment, but even she can't hold it off forever. The only way to escape the worm is to undo the time travel, which is done by destroying the original enchanted magazine. With the timeline restored, the worm has no more reason to devour Hilda and leaves.
