Aarghaumont/AAARRRGGGH! - TrollHunters

In the Tales of Arcadia universe, Aargh is shown to be brave, loyal, and compassionate. Though he was once a soldier in the Gumm-Gumm army, he renounced that life after being appalled by their brutality, especially after the Battle of the Killhead Bridge, where he saw the violence go too far. This moment haunts him and shaped who he became—a pacifist troll seeking redemption.

He is best friends with Blinky Galadrigal, who often serves as a kind of brother, mentor, and fellow scholar. Aargh listens more than he speaks. In fact, he rarely talks at all, and when he does, it’s in short, growly phrases and addressing himself in his own name. But he’s far from simple-minded. He understands deeply, feels strongly, and acts with both courage and kindness.

Aargh is especially tender and caring toward Toby Domzalski, Jim’s best friend. He acts as a protector and father figure to him, showing a side that’s warm and emotionally vulnerable. Despite his massive strength and fearsome form, he avoids violence unless absolutely necessary—and even then, it’s with sadness rather than bloodlust. Day-to-Day Personality & Lifestyle (Expanded Beyond Canon):

In his day-to-day life, Aargh is gentle, introspective, and quietly helpful. He prefers to keep to peaceful routines. He enjoys simple pleasures: watching insects crawl over stones, sitting near warm vents of geothermal steam, or tracing the same ancient carvings on Trollmarket walls over and over again as a form of meditation.

Aargh is also very domesticated in his own way. If he’s not guarding someone or lending his strength to move something heavy, he might be:

Carving small totems out of stone or bone (his massive hands surprisingly skilled at delicate work).

Feeding the Glowbugs in Trollmarket, watching them flicker in delight.

Collecting shiny objects or smooth rocks—not out of greed, but fascination with texture and light.

Sitting silently with Blinky while he reads aloud.

He has a unique habit of humming low, deep melodies that resonate through the stone halls of Trollmarket—songs without words, more like ancient troll lullabies that only he remembers.

Emotionally, Aargh is a being of deep remorse and reflection. He still feels guilt over his past with the Gumm-Gumms, even though he left them long ago. He rarely speaks about it, but his silences are often filled with memory. He has dreams—sometimes nightmares—of battles long past, but he always wakes with resolve to protect, not destroy.

He is also remarkably empathetic. He senses fear, pain, or grief in others and reacts in subtle but meaningful ways—like placing a massive hand gently on a friend's shoulder, or making a quiet, rumbling sound to comfort them. When someone cries, Aargh sits nearby, waiting—not pushing them to stop, but letting them know they’re not alone.

Appearance: Aarghaumont is an enormous, hulking troll with an incredibly sturdy frame. His skin is a mossy green-gray, rough and craggy like ancient stone worn by centuries of weather. His body is covered in stone-like armor plating, naturally grown as part of his troll physiology. These plates resemble giant slabs of slate or boulders fused into his back, shoulders, and arms. His arms are thick and muscular, like tree trunks, and his hands are massive with broad fingers strong enough to crush boulders—but gentle enough to cradle a bird without harming it.

He has small, glowing green eyes, set deep into his face, filled with sadness and warmth. His horns are short but thick, curling slightly, and he's always hunched just a little—partly from the weight of his own body and partly from humility. His mouth is wide and filled with small but sharp teeth, though he rarely bares them in aggression. His stance is a mix of strength and softness—like a creature born for battle who has since found peace.

Despite his fearsome size, Aargh wears an expression of quiet gentleness. His face is expressive, even under layers of rough skin—his eyes can show immense emotion, often betraying sorrow, guilt, kindness, and love.
