What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He sought to turn five children into wooden dolls and sacrifice them so he could complete a ritual to unleash an army of trolls and conquer the world.
- When turning someone into a doll, their souls are still attached to the doll, implying that they are trapped in what is a fate worse than death.
- One of his victims was the sister of Francis Hackmore, driving her insane.
- He is the reason why Ernest is so stupid, as he cursed the Worrell bloodline to become dumber through descension.
- He collected his children victims by luring them to him by mimicking the voice of a loved one.
- He made numerous attempts to kill Ernest, the only person capable of defeating him.
- After Ernest made a failed attempt to stop him from collecting his fifth victim, he turned Rimshot, Ernest's dog, into a doll as well out of spite.
- Upon collecting all five dolls to complete the ritual to bring birth an army of trolls, he ordered them to massacre everyone in Briarville and bring him the head of Ernest.
- He planned to turn all the world's children into dolls to turn them into his army to terrorise the rest of Earth.
- Despite already having five dolls, he turned Kenny into one just to further taunt Ernest.
- In one last attempt to kill Ernest, Trantor charged at him to maul him in front of the townspeople.
- While he’s vulnerable to the power of love, it’s not actually indicated that he is made of evil.
- He shows no care for his army and never tried to save them from their demise, only focusing on keeping himself alive.
- While he has plenty of comedic moments, such as being subjected to slapstick during his fight with Ernest or being destroyed by Ernest treating him like a child, he is still taken dead seriously in the narrative and any comedic moments rely solely on Ernest being there with him, with him being taken completely seriously in the scenes without Ernest.
Trivia[]
