Mushrooms

**Mushrooms** are a type of creature and food, which are occasionally seen during the first season of the television series.

## Biography

It can quite easily be assumed that mushrooms have always appeared within the swamp, ever since the swamp first existed.

During the scene where Bubo terrorises Boni in *Fester Rancid*, some mushrooms are seen surrounding the lake in the swamp.

In *Strange Goings On*, immediately after the Fish inadvertently catapults Boni away from the lake, Boni lands into a bed of mushrooms. The mushrooms transport Boni away, all whilst Boni orders the mushrooms to release him. The mushrooms discard Boni onto the Reptile, who flicks Boni away by its tail.

A bunch of mushrooms, which includes a mushroom with a visible face, are shown at many points throughout *Slightly Weird*.

Some mushroom are shown surrounding the forest, when Berk temporarily leaves the castle, in one scene from *Bye Bye Berk*.

## Appearance

The mushrooms resemble typical “fly agaric” red fungi. They have white spots, which are like spores. Though often seen just sitting, they are able to move. They each have a brown stalk, with tiny feet-like stubs, which allows them mobility.
Yechh! (episode)

**Yechh!** is the seventeenth episode of the first series.

## Plot

It is morning, Boni is still asleep, and an enormous reproducing bug appears from the trap door. The bug produces a large spawn of eggs, and then makes its way back down. The trap door suddenly shuts right after the bug crawls back down, and Berk appears through the archway.

Berk asks Boni how the eggs got there. Berk gets no answer, because Boni remains asleep. Berk thinks of a way to cook the eggs, the eggs suddenly hatch, and a litter of small green bugs appear. Berk is captivated by the display, and he starts to wonder what the bugs would taste like. The small bugs suddenly explode, leaving the cellar covered in a thick yellow gooey substance. Berk wonders how to get rid of the goo, and immediately thinks of the trap door. Berk disposes of the goo, Drutt floats along, but Berk catches Drutt just in time.

Berk shuts the trap door, he then calls Boni. and wakes Boni up this time. Boni asks Berk whether he had missed everything, but Berk tells Boni that he really did not miss much. Much to Berk’s amusement, Boni tells Berk that he is suddenly craving scrambled eggs for breakfast.

## Trivia

* The inlay back cover for *The Trap Door: 12 Scary Episodes*, which features this episode, misspells this episode’s title as "*Yecch!!*". This misnaming inaccuracy was also displayed on the inlay back cover for *The Pain - Plus 11 Scary Episodes*.
* On the insert for *The Trap Door: Complete Collection*, displaying the complete list of titles for each of the episodes, the title for this episode is inaccurately spelt as “*Yecch!*”.

The Small Spider

**The Small Spider** is a diminutive creature, who makes its only ever appearance in the television series in Creepy Crawly.

The Small Spider appeared in *Creepy Crawly*, when Berk was looking for The Large Spider. Berk opened a door, and it came out. It landed on top of Boni, after Berk pushed the Giant Spider down the trap door, but Boni threw it off.

## Appearance

The Small Spider resembles a normal black spider, and is essentially a smaller and harmless version of the Large Spider.
The Drooly Worm

**The Drooly Worm** is a huge and hungry maroon-coloured creature, who appears as a minor character in the first season.

## Biography

The Drooly Worm is one of the hungry and weird creatures, who appears in Berk’s dream, in *Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite*. The Drooly Worm later appears in *Don’t Open That Trap Door*, as one of many monsters, dancing around the castle to the music playing from Berk’s radio.

## Trivia

* Most of the trapdoor creatures featured in *Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite* were non-existing creatures, and were only part of Berk’s nightmare. However, the Drooly Worm was an authentic trapdoor monster, and was seen later on in the series.
The Thing Upstairs’ Bedroom

**The Thing Upstairs’ Bedroom** is a room, situated in the castle, and a mostly offscreen location in the television series.

## Biography

We can assume that the bedroom has been around for as long as the castle has been, and very possibly for as long as the Thing Upstairs has been alive.

As the name has said, this is where The Thing Upstairs sleeps. In the TV show, he is shown spending almost all of his time in his bedroom. He had left his room in *Slightly Weird* and *The Horrible Thing*, but he had returned by the end of both episodes.

## Appearance

As we never actually see the Thing Upstairs himself, all we see of his bedroom is the outside of it.
Nasty Beasty

**Nasty Beasty** is the thirteenth episode of the second series.

## Plot

It is winter, Berk is busy cooking in the kitchen, and Boni moans about the cold. The Thing Upstairs also complains, and he also mentions about his heater not working, so Berk goes off upstairs to mend his master’s radiator.

As Berk goes off, Rogg appears from the trap door. Boni notices a funny-looking twitching creature on top of Rogg’s head. Rogg, who did not notice the fuzzy green creature initially, sees the creature come off of his head. It then sticks to the wall, and sticks itself to Boni. Rogg finds this very funny, but Boni is far from amused. Rogg tries to get the Twitching Green Thing off of Boni to no avail. Drutt appears, the Twitching Thing comes off of Boni, and it attaches itself to Drutt.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Berk is still fixing the Thing Upstairs’ heater. After a few failed attempts, Berk manages to get it working again. Berk then comes downstairs, sees that Rogg has paid a visit, and notices the Twitching Thing. The Thing Upstairs then shouts unhappily, because the temperature of the radiator becomes too hot. Berk grudgingly makes his way back upstairs. Unbeknownst to Berk, as he returns to the Thing Upstairs’ bedroom, the Twitching Thing attaches itself to Berk’s back. Boni and Rogg, who are quite amused by this, are happy that the creature is no longer able to bother them.

## Trivia

* The usual opening section for an episode, which shows a lightning bolt clashing in front of the castle, is replaced with an exterior shot of the castle surrounded by snow.
* What happens to the Twitching Green Thing after this episode remains uncertain. This is because the Twitching Green Thing makes its only ever appearance in the series in this episode.
* At one point, although the monster’s gender is not confirmed, the Twitching Green Thing is referred to as a “he”.
* This episode marks the last instance in the television series where we hear the Thing Upstairs speak, even though Berk mentions the Thing Upstairs by name in the following episode.

Yum Yum

**Yum Yum** is the seventh episode of the second series.

## Plot

Drutt becomes very hyperactive. Drutt runs into the kitchen, and makes an enormous mess. Berk, feeling extremely fed up of Drutt’s boisterous and careless behaviour, has now decided to get rid of the mischievous small creature once and for all. As Berk throws Drutt down the trap door, Boni expresses how upset he is with Berk for disposing of Drutt.

Berk begins feeling bad for what he did, so he opens the trap door. By using a rope and a worm, Berk attempts to fish Drutt out of the dungeon. Berk soon catches something, but learns that the creature he captured was not actually Drutt. Instead, a seemingly-friendly little red monster caught the bait. Berk takes a fondness to the Small Red Thing. Deciding that the little creature is a worthy replacement, Berk allows the small monster to move in.

Berk goes back to the kitchen, so he can clean up the mess, and he leaves the Small Red Thing on his own with Boni. The Small Red Thing turns itself into a fierce monster with sharp teeth, which frightens Boni. The Small Thing turns back to his innocent form, only seconds before Berk returns. Boni tells Berk about the monster’s true nature, but Berk does not believe him. However, after the Small Thing begins terrorising Berk as well, Berk then discovers that Boni was telling the truth all along.

Fortunately, Rogg appears from out of the trap door. Rogg unintentionally slams the trap door onto the Small Red Thing in the process, possibly killing him. Even better, Rogg reveals to have found Drutt. Berk feels relieved to know that Drutt was rescued, and comes to appreciate that what he had originally was better than when he disposed of Drutt.

Sniff That (phrase)

**“Sniff That!”** is one of Berk’s most well-known phrases, that is heard quite regularly from him in the television series.

## Trivia

* Berk is heard uttering this phrase, really quite regularly, when he is cooking. He sometimes says this when doing an unpleasant chore, such as unblocking a drain, which is demonstrated in the television series episode of the very same name.

Vile Pile (episode)

**Vile Pile** is the twenty-third episode of the first series.

## Plot

Berk opens the trap door, so he can deposit some rubbish, but Boni advises Berk to not chuck down any waste. Berk freely ignores him, and continues to do so. Berk accuses Boni of worrying and nagging him, and he irritates Boni, by chanting away. Boni asks Drutt if he really nags Berk, but Drutt obviously does not reply. Suddenly, after Berk goes off, a pair of eyes, belonging to a garbage monster, peek out from under the trap door.

As Berk is busy preparing food in the kitchen, Drutt tries to alert Berk. However, Berk just orders Drutt to go away. Once the vile garbage monster climbs out of the trap door, Boni then tries to get Berk’s attention. The Vile Pile crawls into the kitchen, and it interferes with Berk’s cooking. As Berk tells the creature that he is having none of it, the monster spits at Berk in retaliation. Berk then whacks the monster with his rolling pin, until the monster’s drooling mouth disappears. However, the creature’s mouth re-projects. It spits at Berk again, before it disappears.

The Vile Pile continually crawls around the cellar. As it notices Drutt, it spits at him as well. Berk is still in his kitchen, thinking of what to do about the vile monster. He sees an implement on the table, grabs it, and thinks that it might come in handy. The monster soon crawls over to Boni’s hole. Boni tries to alert Berk, and it covers Boni with yellow saliva.

Berk approaches the Vile Pile once more, and the creature tries to spit at Berk again. After a couple of failed attempts, it then successfully hits Berk. Boni reprimands Berk for unleashing the monster, but Berk ignores Boni’s comment. The monster targets Berk again, but Berk inserts his utensil into the creature’s breathing duct. Berk is amused, and relieved by this, but the creature is far from so. The Vile Pile continually tries to shoot the implement out of itself, only to gradually expand, and becomes more and more suffocated each time. The pressure soon becomes too much for the Vile Pile. It then bursts, causing Berk to fly into the wall, and its innards splatter all over the cellar. Berk, Drutt and Boni appear from the remains unharmed. They become dumbstruck by the load of rubbish coating the place.

## Trivia

* The Eyeball Monster and the Mouth Monster, who appear in the previous episode (*Sniff That*), share similar characteristics to the trapdoor monster in this episode.

Drutt

**Drutt** is an olive-coloured mischievous spider-like creature, who serves as Berk’s pet. He is one of the central characters in the television series, and he is seen in each episode.

## Biography

Little is known about Drutt’s origins. It is presumed that Drutt was rescued from a fierce monster by Berk, and Berk then raises him as his own in the cellar.

Drutt spends nearly all of his time in the cellar with Berk, who acts as Drutt’s guardian. When Berk is busy in the kitchen, or attends to the Thing Upstairs’ needs, Boni helps to keep an eye on Drutt. Whenever Berk arranges a trip to the swamp, Drutt is regularly tagged along with him and Boni. Unfortunately, on one too many occasions, Drutt has the tendency to get into trouble.

One day, as a result of Drutt’s boisterous behaviour, Berk soon becomes fed up of the energetic little spider. Drutt is thrown down the trap door by Berk, who later regrets his actions, and Berk soon attempts to retrieve him. Berk captures the Small Red Thing instead. With no luck of finding Drutt, Berk decides that the seemingly-sweet small monster is a worthy replacement. Unfortunately, it turns out to be aggressive and nasty. Rogg appears out of the trap door, inadvertently squashing the fierce little red creature in the process. Even better, Rogg reveals to have found Drutt. Drutt remains in the cellar, along with Berk and Boni, ever since.

## Personality

Drutt is a loveable, but mischievous, little creature. Drutt does not do much, other than spends most of his time chasing worms around the cellar. He is given much more of a duty of responsibility, however, when he becomes a parent of his nippers. Drutt is very accident-prone, and often interferes with Berk when he is not wanted. There are times where Drutt demonstrates his usefulness, such as helping Berk defeat the Large Spider in *Creepy Crawly*. In the following episode, as Boni is kidnapped by Rogg, Drutt helps Berk rescue Boni. Drutt has an excellent sense of awareness, especially when there is a problem at hand. Drutt will always go out of his way, so he can alert anyone of any danger, even when anyone tries to ignore him.

The Splund (character)

## The Splund

**The Splund** is a rotund and malicious reddish-pink monster from out of the trap door, who likes making wisecracks towards other creatures. He appears in the television series, but makes his central appearance in the episode of the same name.

He is voiced by the late Willie Rushton, who provides voices for all other speaking characters in the television series.

## Biography

The Splund’s only main role is in the episode of the same name. When Berk goes to sew the Thing Upstairs’ split pyjamas, the Splund emerges from the trap door into the castle. Impressed by his surroundings, the Splund seems keen on moving in. The Splund meets Boni, Drutt and Drutt’s Nippers. He introduces himself to them, but makes fun of them, asking them what they taste like, and laughing at them. When Berk encounters the Splund, he is unamused by the Splund’s wisecracks, so he pokes the Splund with his needle, which causes the Splund to burst and disappear.

Before his supposed death, the Splund made one very brief early appearance in the series. He made a cameo in a first season episode, *Don’t Open That Trap Door*, where he comes out of the trap door, along with several other monsters, to dance along to the music from Berk’s radio; he is even seen singing along to the music.

## Trivia

* The Splund appears to be quite a bit more intelligent than most other creatures from out of the trap door, despite his rather immature and simple-minded personality, since he is one of the only creatures capable of speech and teleportation.
* Rushton’s voice for the Splund is modified by a synthesiser.
Bye Bye Berk

**Bye Bye Berk** is the twenty-fifth and final episode of the first series.

## Plot

The Thing Upstairs yells at Berk, demanding to know whether Berk has finished tidying up. Berk informs the Thing Upstairs that he is trying to do exactly that, as he tries to find a place to store some boxes. The Big Red Thing lunges at Berk, causing Berk to drop the boxes in horror, and Berk flees. He then finds out that many other monsters, including Rogg, have also appeared.

Boni accuses Berk, as it was Berk who foolishly left the trap door open, all because Berk was in the middle of disposing of some rubbish. The Thing Upstairs hears the noise from his bedroom, and angrily tells Berk to stop it. Berk then completely loses it. Rogg asks Boni why Berk is so upset, and Boni just says that Berk is in “a funny mood”. Rogg misinterprets this, thinking what Boni said was that Berk was “funny”. Rogg tells Berk this, but this does not improve Berk’s mood one bit.

Berk, now feeling more than a little bit fed up, tells Boni and Rogg that he going. When Rogg asks Berk exactly where, Berk tells him that he is leaving the castle for good. As Berk makes his way outside, Rogg asks Boni if Berk is really going. Boni sadly replies that Berk is, in fact, leaving the castle forever.

Berk leaves. Without much explanation as to why, he soon returns. He sees creatures still roaming around, but he is no longer bothered by this. Boni remarks on how happy he really is, because of seeing his friend return, and even Berk himself admits that the castle is his true home.

## Trivia

* Berk’s reason for coming back to the castle is never explained. Some viewers have assumed that he either had nowhere else better to go, or that he missed his friends.
* This episode marks several final appearances for many of the characters, who have already appeared during the television series. This is because most of them, who appear in this episode, do not return in the series during its second season.
* The Mushroom, who was assumed to have been eaten by the Thing Upstairs at the end of the previous episode, appears in this episode. In fact, it could have very easily have been a different one of the same kind.
* This episode features an untitled soundtrack, which plays during emotional moments in the series. This soundtrack is also heard in *The Big Red Thing*, which is also a season finale.
* At the end of the episode, when Berk returns to the castle, Berk can be heard saying “There’s no place like home!”. This possibly references the famous ending line from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s 1939 acclaimed film adaption of *The Wizard of Oz*.
	+ Incidentally enough, that film’s famously quoted ending line was also quoted by Berk at the end of the previous episode.

Pies

**The Pies** are a form of breakfast food, which Berk makes for the Thing Upstairs on one occasion. They appear in Breakfast Time, the first episode of the entire series.

## History

One morning, Berk concocts the pies for the Thing Upstairs’ breakfast. Berk places the pies into the oven, and soon takes them out. Berk opens the trap door, which releases a few worms, and The Big Yellow Thing appears. The Yellow Thing soon notices the pies, which are cooling right next to the oven. Berk attempts to stop the Yellow Thing from getting at the pies. The Yellow Thing gobbles the pies up, much to Berk’s annoyance, before it falls asleep.

After a disruption by the Big Red Thing, who sneaked out of the trap door, Berk is still harassed by the Thing Upstairs’ demand for the pies. Berk, remembering that the pies were eaten by the Yellow Thing, decides that the Yellow Thing should be a good substitute breakfast. Berk carries the Yellow Thing over to the elevator, and serves it to the Thing Upstairs. The Thing Upstairs happily devours the Yellow Thing, along with the pies inside of it.

## Appearance

Regarding their overall shape and colour, the Pies very much resemble realistic pies. They are made with a type of pastry, and a green filling is enclosed within the pastry. It is never explained what the filling is comprised of. It can be assumed that the filling is concocted from worms, other creepy crawlies, or the gizzards of numerous monsters.
The Imp

**The Imp** is a demonic trapdoor creature, who makes its single onscreen appearance in the television series in *Moany Boni*.

## Biography

The Imp flies into the cellar, as Berk and Boni are playing “I Spy”, and it positions itself next to Boni's hole. Boni becomes agitated by the Imp’s presence. Boni calls Berk, but Berk starts having troubles of his own in the kitchen. The Imp caresses Boni. It transforms Boni into a horse-like creature, which Boni becomes surprisingly impressed by.

Berk soon appears from the kitchen, and meets the Imp. The Imp changes Berk from blue to orange, and then turns him red. Drutt reappears, after Berk walks away, and the Imp turns Drutt multiple different colours. The Imp then causes a skull, who looks exactly like what Boni originally looked like, to appear in Boni’s hole. As Boni and his lookalike argue over whose hole it is, Boni learns that the Imp has caused Berk to grow far too big in size, as Berk is now no longer able to walk through the archway. As Boni looks back at his hole, all he can see is the Imp laughing.

Boni then wakes up, learning that all of this was only a dream, and tells Berk about the Imp. The Imp, on the other hand, is revealed to have been real all along. The Imp sneaks out of the trap door, and perches itself on a plank near the ceiling. It laughs deviously, as it plans to stir up trouble.

## Trivia

* The Imp has a few noticeable similarities with the Thingy, who makes its central appearance in the TV series in the episode of the same name. Both creatures take enjoyment in making a great deal of trouble. They are both seen transforming Berk, Boni and Drutt into multiple different colours and forms. However, perhaps the most noticeable characteristic between the two characters is that they both happen to be purple.
The Elevator

**The Elevator** is a big elevator, situated in the cellar of the castle, which appears frequently in the television series.

## History

It is unknown how long the elevator has been around for, and whether it is as ancient as the castle.

Berk has used the elevator, primarily to take food up to the Thing Upstairs. It allows Berk to take food from the cellar, up to the Thing Upstairs, without the need of taking a lot of food up by hand.

It has also been used by the Thing Upstairs, who brings rubbish down to Berk, as shown in *Junk Food*.

Berk has also sent monsters up in the elevator, as seen in a few rare instances in the TV series. This is always when a monster is served as a meal to the Thing Upstairs. Berk had sent up the Big Yellow Thing in *Breakfast Time*, and he had later sent up the Gooey Custardy Thing in *The Horrible Thing*.
The Twitching Green Thing

**The Twitching Green Thing** is a fuzzy creature, who makes its single appearance in the television series in *Nasty Beasty*.

## Biography

As Berk goes to mend the the Thing Upstairs’ radiator, Rogg appears from the trap door. Boni notices a funny-looking twitching creature on top of Rogg’s head. Rogg notices the fuzzy green creature on top of him, and sees it come off. It then sticks to the wall, and sticks itself to Boni. Rogg finds this very funny, but Boni is far from amused. Rogg tries to get the creature off of Boni to no avail. Drutt appears, the Twitching Thing comes off of Boni, and it attaches itself to Drutt.

When Berk comes downstairs, he sees that Rogg has paid a visit, and notices the Twitching Thing. When The Thing Upstairs’ radiator overheats, Berk grudgingly makes his way back upstairs. Unbeknownst to Berk, as he returns to the Thing Upstairs’ bedroom, the Twitching Thing attaches itself to Berk’s back. Boni and Rogg, who are quite amused by this, are happy that the creature is no longer able to bother them.

## Trivia

* What happens to the Twitching Green Thing after this episode remains uncertain. This is because the Twitching Green Thing makes its only ever appearance in the series in this episode.
* At one point, although the monster’s gender is not confirmed, the Twitching Green Thing is referred to as a “he”.

Don’t Open That Trap Door (episode)

**Don’t Open That Trap Door** is the fifteenth episode of the first series.

## Plot

Boni is disgusted by the masses of creepy crawlies appearing out of Berk’s cupboard, which Berk is still in the process of tidying up. Rogg decides to visit. He says hello to Boni, and asks Boni what Berk is doing. Boni falsely tells Rogg that Berk is just mucking about.

Berk comes out of the cupboard, revealing to have found an old radio. Boni dreads, because he knows how noisy radios can be. However, Berk decides to get the radio working. Berk becomes fascinated by the radio, and drops it in surprise, when it plays a loud tune. The music attracts the attention of the bugs, and they decide to dance along to it. Boni complains about the racket, but Berk tells Boni to enjoy the music. Some larger creatures appear from the trap door, and they also dance along.

Amidst all the activity, Rogg decides to play a trick on Berk. Rogg opens the trap door when Berk is not looking, and Berk falls down. Berk lands on top of the Thingy, who brings him back up. The Thing Upstairs yells at Berk, causing Berk to fall off the Thingy’s head, and demands to know what is causing the noise. The trapdoor creatures proceed to make their ways down the trap door, just before the music ends. Berk then tells the Thing Upstairs that he was just tidying up. Boni complains about the music giving him a headache, but Rogg tells Berk that he personally enjoyed it. Berk and Rogg hope that they will play the music again sometime.

## Trivia

* The music played from Berk’s radio, heard in this episode, is an extended version of the television series theme song.
* This episode also marks several debut appearances from numerous minor characters, who would have prominent roles later on in the series. A few examples include the Bigmouths and the Splund.

Boo!

**Boo!** is the tenth episode of the second series.

## Plot

Berk pushes a large pile of rubbish through the archway. Boni, who initially mistakes the garbage pile for a monster from under the trap door, is disgusted. Berk disposes the garbage heap down the trap door, which clogs the trap door up. Boni becomes very concerned by this. Berk tells Boni stop worrying about it, and Berk assured Boni that the accumulation of rubbish will stop anything from climbing up into the cellar. Berk and Boni are soon startled by a sudden noise and foul smell. Berk remembers that he put something in the oven for the Thing Upstairs. A Phantom appears out of the oven, as Berk goes to check on his cooking, scaring Berk out of his kitchen.

Berk runs around in fright, as more Phantoms emerge. Berk goes to hide in several different areas around the castle, but the Phantoms still catch up with him. Berk decides to hide in his closet, as he believes that the horrid ghosts won’t find him in there. Berk hears a noise. He soon finds out that it is only Drutt and his nippers hiding, much to Berk’s relief. When a Phantom does appear from inside of the closet, Berk, Drutt and his family are scared off. As Berk races back to the cellar, he sees the hallway surrounded by Phantoms.

Berk returns to the cellar, and is about to inform Boni about the Phantoms, but Berk and Boni hear a sound coming from the trap door. The rubbish clogging the trap door is pushed back up into the cellar, much to their shock. Berk wonders about throwing the rubbish back down again, fearing how angry the Thing Upstairs would be if he found out about the mess, but Boni tells Berk that it would be rather unwise to do so.

As Berk starts an argument with Boni, the Phantoms reappear one last time. They start speaking to Berk, punishing Berk, by telling him to never chuck his rubbish down the trap door ever again. Thunder and lightning strikes, and the menacing monsters disappear entirely. Berk becomes bewildered by what he just witnessed, and Boni tells Berk that what he believed it was was the Phantoms trying to tell him off. Berk believes Boni, as he tells Boni that he thought the Phantoms were trying to tell him something after all.

Berk’s Dream

**Berk’s Dream** is a frightening nightmare, Berk once experienced, in the television series in *Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite*.

## History

Berk’s Dream is the main part in *Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite*. It all begins with Boni being pulled down the trap door by a black thing. Berk goes down the trap door, and he tries to look for Boni, but all that he sees are some scary things. When Berk woke up, he did not know at first that it was a bad dream. Berk tries to go under the trap door. Boni tells Berk that it was a dream, and Berk describes the whole ordeal as being “more horrible than giving “Old Blubber-Guts Upstairs” a slime bath!”.

Monstrous Berk

**Monstrous Berk** is a more aggressive transformation of Berk, which was once seen in the television series in Nasty Stuff.

## Biography

Berk concocts some medicine for himself, one day, as he has a headache. Berk transforms into a much more aggressive monster, after drinking most of the medicine, and begins terrorising Boni and Drutt in the cellar. Berk soon discovers that Drutt had also consumed some of the medicine, which also transforms Drutt into a larger and scarier creature. Boni suddenly turns monstrous, after Berk and Drutt turn back to their normal selves, and chases Berk and Drutt across the castle.

## Appearance

Monstrous Berk is a bit larger than Berk in his normal form, and has bumpy and thicker skin. He has a wider mouth, with a visible tongue and sharp teeth. He has sharp claws, seen on both of his hands.

## Trivia

* Unlike Boni, who speaks in both his normal and his monstrous forms, Berk does not speak in his monstrous transformation.
The Cellar

**The Cellar** is a room, which is situated in the castle, and is the central location in the TV series.

## Appearance

The cellar is a typical cellar, as it is situated downstairs. The walls are painted, in the same style as most of the castle’s interior, with several circular multicoloured shapes.

## Trivia

* There is little known history of how long the cellar has been around it. It can only be assumed that the cellar has been around as long as the castle.
* As the cellar is the central location in the TV series, and it is also the home of the titular trap door, the cellar is shown in every single episode.
* The cellar is the home to Berk, Boni and Drutt. It would also then be a home to Drutt’s Nippers, after Drutt gave birth to the Nippers, in season two.
* The cellar is also a home to Berk’s bed and Boni’s hole, and is placed right next to Berk’s kitchen.

The Eyeball Monster

**The Eyeball Monster** is a ferocious green creature, who makes its only appearance in the television series in *Sniff That*.

## Biography

As Berk is unenthusiastically unclogging a blocked drain, Boni is wondering why Berk is taking so long. Boni also wonders why Berk had left the trap door, and he becomes surprised when the Eyeball Monster appears from it. In the other room, Berk is figuring out a different way of unblocking the drain. The room suddenly goes dark, and Berk encounters the Eyeball Monster. Berk runs into the cellar, and yells at Boni in alarm, because he thought that he saw the Eyeball Monster appearing from the drain. Boni informs Berk that the Eyeball Monster appeared out of the trap door, because he had left the trap door open.

Suddenly, the Mouth Monster also emerges from the trap door. As the Mouth Monster runs away, Berk and Drutt go after it. Berk and Drutt seek the Mouth Monster, only to bump into the Eyeball Monster instead. The Eyeball Monster lunges at Berk, and it walks towards him. Berk orders the ferocious green monster to stay back, but it only moves closer. Berk even threatens to unleash Drutt on it, but the monster still approaches Berk and Drutt. The Mouth Monster fortunately reappears, and it sucks up the Eyeball Monster.

## Trivia

* Along with the Mouth Monster, the Eyeball Monster shares very similar characteristics to the Vile Pile from the episode of the same name. The Eyeball Monster and the Mouth Monster appear in *Sniff That*, and the fact that the Vile Pile appears in the following episode makes this seem even more coincidental.
* The Eyeball Monster is referred to as male for most of the time, although its actual gender is never confirmed.
Creepy Crawly (episode)

**Creepy Crawly** is the sixth episode of the first series.

## Plot

A giant black spider creeps out of the trap door, and it runs through the castle. Berk comes downstairs, and Boni reveals to him that “something large and black with lots of legs” just sneaked out. Berk does not believe him, but he soon goes searching of the Spider around the castle. As he looks around, he sees no sign of the creature. He then looks into his cupboard, and he finds a tiny and harmless spider sneaking out instead.

As Berk walks down the hallway, the Spider jumps down from the ceiling. It frightens Berk, who then runs into a web that the Spider had just woven. The Spider continues to terrorise Berk, but Berk manages to escape. However, Berk is still tangled in the web. Drutt manages to unwind it, and then ties the Spider up in it.

Berk is very proud with Drutt for doing something useful for once. Berk then turns his attention back to the Spider. He opens the trap door, and he pushes the Spider back down into the cellar. Boni congratulates Berk, and a tiny spider, possibly the same one from earlier, drops onto Boni. Boni is surprised and disgusted, but Berk laughs.

## Trivia

* The title card for this episode is featured in *Michaela’s Birthday Show for Boys*, which is a made-for-video special, which also features the title card for *Food for Thort*. The special also shows part of the television series‘ opening titles, two short segments from *Slither, Wriggle and Writhe*, and the final few seconds of *Gourmet’s Delight* and *The Big Thing*.

The Thingy (character)

## The Thingy

**The Thingy** is an enormous pink mischief-making trapdoor monster. The Thingy regularly appears during the first season, and it makes its central appearance in the episode of the same name.

## Biography

With a plank and nails, Berk successfully hammers the trap door shut. He begins to admire his handiwork, and remarks how happy he is to never worry about any trapdoor monsters appearing anymore. However, Berk speaks too soon. The Thingy breaks the trap door free, and it appears from above.

The Thingy decides to stir up trouble, causing Berk to become very anxious. Berk runs away from the Thingy, but it spots him, and it casts a spell on him. Berk grows ridiculously tall and thin, as a result of the Thingy’s spell, and repeatedly squats up and down multiple times. The Thingy soon transform Berk back to his correct proportions, only to shrink Berk seconds after. Berk orders the Thingy to transform him back to his right size. The Thingy obviously ignores him, and it scares Berk away instead.

The Thingy transforms Berk back to his normal form again, but it then causes Berk to mutates into a giant blue worm, before it targets Drutt. The Thingy causes Drutt to grows in size, much to Berk’s fear, but then transforms Berk into a puddle. It then turns Drutt back to his normal proportions, though Drutt becomes taller. The Thingy then turns its attention to Boni. It casts a spell on Boni, which causes Boni to change shape multiple times.

The Thingy decides that it has had enough, and it makes its way back down the trap door. Berk, Boni and Drutt change back into their original forms. Berk assumes that the Thingy left, because it got fed up of mucking about. The Thingy has left a permanent spell, however, which involves multiple clones of Berk roaming around the cellar.
The Splund (episode)

**The Splund** is the twelfth episode of the second series.

## Plot

The Thing Upstairs is feeling very impatient. He shouts at Berk, because he wants his dinner. Berk then serves him with a huge portion of food. The Thing Upstairs overeats, causing his pyjamas to split. He orders Berk to come upstairs, so Berk can sew them back up. Berk then looks for his sewing kit. Boni sympathetically comments on how hard Berk works, as Berk begrudgingly makes his way upstairs.

The trap door suddenly opens. A large and round pink monster, called “The Splund”, emerges from out of it. Feeling very impressed by his surroundings, the Splund seems really keen on moving in. The Splund then teleports himself over to Boni’s hole. He introduces himself to Boni, Drutt and Drutt’s Nippers. He then starts making fun of them, by asking them what they taste like, before bursting into uncontrollable laughter.

After the Splund stops laughing, he further comments on how much he would like to live in the cellar. The Splund teleports off again, and Boni starts wondering where the Splund had just gone. The Splund calls for Boni’s attention, and Boni soon spots the Splund lounging on a plank next to the ceiling. The Splund asks Boni if anybody else lives in the cellar, and Boni tells the Splund that Berk also lives there. Most likely due to being amused by Berk’s name, the Splund continues to laugh loudly.

Berk soon finishes sewing up the Thing Upstairs’ pyjamas. Immediately after making his way back downstairs, Berk encounters the Splund. However, Berk becomes very unamused by the Splund’s wisecracks. He pokes the Splund with his needle, causing the Splund to burst and disappear, and he dubs himself as “The Splund Popper”. For getting rid of the Splund, Boni congratulates Berk. Berk mentions that the Splund was nothing but a big bag of wind. Boni, finding Berk’s remark especially amusing, laughs.

## Trivia

* Like all speaking characters in the television series, the voice for the Splund was provided by the late Willie Rushton.
	+ Rushton’s voice for the Splund is modified by a synthesiser.
* This episode marks the Splund’s only major appearance in the television series. The Splund has a cameo appearance in an earlier episode, *Don’t Open That Trap Door*, where he sings along to the television series theme music from Berk’s radio.

Garden Plant Food

**Garden Plant Food** is an assortment of garden feed, which exclusively appears in the television series in *Food for Thort*.

## History

Berk goes to inspect the Thing Upstairs’ garden, after the Thing Upstairs asks Berk to do so. Berk arrives at the garden, with the garden plant food in his hands, and feeds the hungry garden plants. As Berk begrudgingly feeds the plants, many plants snatch large chunks of the food from Berk. Berk then feeds Thort, the Thing Upstairs’ largest and favourite vegetable, who also feels especially hungry. Thort snatches the remaining food, right out of Berk’s hands, startling Berk.

## Appearance

The garden plant food appears to be comprised mostly of worms, and other similar things, of numerous colours and shapes.
