―Toby's catchphrase

Tobias "Toby" Domzalski is the deuteragonist of the Tales of Arcadia franchise, serving as the deuteragonist of Trollhunters and Rise of the Titans, a minor (later major) character of 3Below, and a minor character of Wizards.

He is a student of Arcadia Oaks High, best friends with Jim Lake Jr. and Claire Nuñez, wingman of AAARRRGGHH!!!, the son of Ralph and Mrs. Domzalski, the grandson of Horace and Nancy Domzalski, and the current boyfriend of Darci Scott.

At the end of Rise of The Titans, Toby sacrificed himself using the Trifurcate Radiation Blaster so Jim could stop Bellroc. After Jim created alternate timeline back to the starting of Trollhunters, Toby is alive. He later found the Amulet of Daylight, and becomes the new timeline's Trollhunter.

Official Biography[]

"There is no one Jim would rather have at his side than his confident best friend, Toby. He offers Jim unwavering loyalty and boundless optimism, as well as the occasional well-timed joke when things get rough. Through all the ups and downs Jim endures on his journeys, Toby acts as his constant, inspiring Jim when he is dejected and keeping Jim in check when he's gone off the deep end."

History[]

Main article: Toby Domzalski/History

Physical Description[]

Guillermo del Toro kept repeating that Toby should be 'just like him when he was a preteen' so that was our first inspiration. Rodrigo Blaas and Guillermo wanted a 'vintage' look for him with the idea that all his clothes were picked by his grandma. We had fun with dressing him up with '70s patterns, bowties, and hairstyles. He's timeless.
―The Team at Headless Animation Studio[src]

Toby is a short (approximately 5 feet 0 inches[2]), chubby boy with orange-red brown hair and green eyes.

He wears a red diamond-patterned sweater vest over a yellow and orange button-up shirt, brown pants, and white shoes. For all of the series, he wears braces.

In his homemade armor, he wears a stove pot on his head like a helmet and has a flashlight taped to the side. He carries a blue locker door as his shield, a metal tin-can on his right wrist, and a lunchtray strapped to his belly with his phone taped to it. He also has two spatulas twisted around his legs like greaves.

In the episode "In Good Hands", Merlin creates a real suit of armor from Jim's Vespa for Toby, which fits his fat physique. Toby's armor is an orange suit of industrial-like knight's armor, complete with a breastplate (the chest area), pauldrons (the shoulder areas), vambraces (the forearm areas), gauntlets (the hand areas), tassets (the hanging bands that protect the thigh areas), greaves (the leg areas), and sabatons (the feet areas) with orange trimmings. Underneath the armor, there is dark orange inner layer. His helmet even has a built-in flashlight (which could most likely be the headlight from Jim's Vespa).

Personality[]

Who better to be by Jim's side, offering unwavering loyalty, boundless optimism, and a well-timed sense of humor than his best friend, Toby? Through all the good times and the bad, Toby is the best friend that Jim can count on to be by his side. Always the optimist and brimming with confidence, Toby will never let the odds get him down. With tacos in tow, Toby is always up for a quest!
The Art of Trollhunters

For the most part, Toby is a happy-go-lucky, cheerful guy who is always there for his friends when they need either a laugh or moral support. Following from that, one of Toby's greatest quality is his loyalty to Jim, being there for the latter when he was first introduced into the world of Trolls to fighting side-by-side whenever threats arise.

Despite his more cheerful nature, Toby is a bit emotional, dramatic, and somewhat of an attention seeker. He shows traits that most likely show that he is (possibly) diagnosed with histrionic personality disorder. Like when Jim was elected as a candidate for Homecoming King, Toby's main reason for wanting him to run was so that he could become "duke" and gain recognition from the more popular students. He even became jealous of Claire after she gained the Shadow Staff and becoming more useful to the team, so he acts quite obnoxious to her as he continually recalled how she lost Killstone, but he later apologizes to Claire for his behavior. In Part Two of 3Below, this (speculated) disorder comes more into light when he began directing his own fan film featuring Krel and his friends for a competition. He often dramatically exasperates over the slightest mistakes, even if it was mostly by accident and/or inexperience (even almost "firing" Eli for making a suggestion he didn't want to hear).

Powers & Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Above-Average Physiology: Though not on par with Jim Lake or even a regular person, Toby is slightly stronger than a fat person of his age. His feats and abilities is not being able to keep up with a normal human like Steve Palchuk.
    • Strength: Toby is able to lift a petrified troll head for several hours, as well as climb up and down a rope with visible strain. In "Young Atlas", he was able to pop open a manhole cover with a lot of strain before he managed to dislodge it. In Rise of the Titans, he was able to rip a subway train's brakes beyond repair (to his dismay).
    • Durability: Toby was shown to be durable enough to take a punch and whack from a troll.
  • Gravity Curse (via Warhammer): After he became cursed with gravity magic, Toby was briefly able to levitate and become super heavy, although he didn't have any control over this. After the curse was transferred into his Warhammer, he gains better stability and uses his weapon as a cohort for his new magic, making it super light and super heavy at his unconscious command. He still had trouble adjusting to it, but after Blinky made a few adjustments on his Warhammer, he gradually gained better control over it as the series progressed.
    • Gyrokinetic Flight: Toby's ability developed to the point where he could practically make himself fly in the air with his Warhammer during his battles with Morgana and Morando.
  • Hyper Intelligence (briefly): When Toby drank Elix-Lore, his intelligence increased at a rapid pace, going so far as to suggest that he knew the secret to life itself. The potion's effects quickly wear off on him in the end.

Abilities[]

  • Undying Loyalty: One of Toby's greatest qualities is his loyalty and willingness to help out his friends. He remains completely loyal to those closest to him thick and thin until the very end, whether being willing to protect them and never abandoning them in any dire situation. As described many times, his loyalty to his friends is unwavering and he rarely-to-never doubts his relationships with certain people, including his friends and family. In "Recipe for Disaster", even after learning that AAARRRGGHH!!! was once a man-eating Gumm-Gumm general, he still considered him his wingman. In "Jimhunters", despite his distaste for climbing, he still climbed three stories just to catch up with Jim (who was immensely depressed by his new form) and help him accept his new life.
  • Warhammer Wielding: Toby's dexterity with his Warhammer is almost as impressive as Jim's with his sword and Claire with her staff (although this is partly because of the gravity curse trapped inside of it). Ever since Blinky upgraded the warhammer, his ability to wield his weapon has improved immensely.
  • Combatant: After training himself with his Warhammer, Toby has grown quite efficient with direct combat against multiple enemies, but is not entirely capable of hand-to-hand combat, as shown in "Skullcrusher" when he tried to attack Steve (while posing as Jim), but to no avail.
  • Spice Tolerance: Toby was able to build a three-year tolerance to eat a spicy Diablo Maximus burrito without any digestive problems (as Señor Uhl had to use the bathroom for the whole entire day after eating just one bite). Although, he definitely had stomach issues after eating chicken surprise in "Young Atlas".
  • Driving: As notably shown in "The Big Sleep", Toby is capable of driving his nana's car by himself. This may imply that he took separate Driver's Ed classes, but it's unknown if he actually has a learner's permit. In "Arcadia's Most Wanted", however, he struggled with driving a police car as he could not reach the gas pedal, due to his short height (most likely because the seat was adjusted to fit Detective Scott's preferred position).
  • Rescuer: After "learning" from Ms. Janeth in "A Night to Remember", Toby gained some knowledge about how to perform real CPR, which he once used to save NotEnrique from drowning in "Skullcrusher".
  • Gemology: Toby is fairly knowledgable with gems and minerals, as he recognized almost every crystal and stone within Heartstone Trollmarket during his first visit. Blinky even remarks that his knowledge of minerals is almost close to a troll's. He also owns his own rock collection. According to The Art of Trollhunters, Toby's nana actually taught Toby a lot about the different types of gems and stones. Toby also mentions in Wizards that he is the president of the Geology club.
  • Amateur Law Knowledge: Toby claims that after watching Mistrial and Error with his nana, he has some knowledge of law and order. However, he's still fairly incompetent, especially when it comes to Troll Law, as he merely wasted time acting like a lawyer character from his show rather than trying to defend Jim.

Weaknesses[]

  • Mortality: As a human, Toby possesses a mortal body, so is therefore highly vulnerable to any forms of injuries, sicknesses, and death.
  • Obesity: Despite all of his training in regular combat, Toby's large stomach makes him pretty much always stuck in between something when he tries to sneak into a house. It also limits his combat skills as he was clearly unable to fight Steve head-on, as shown in "Skullcrusher".
  • Overconfidence: Although undyingly loyal and well-meaning, one of Toby's greatest quirks is his overconfidence and constant need for (unnecessary) attention. He often flirts with girls he barely knows, which only creeps them out and makes himself look weird (but he later dials down his flirting nature when he starts dating Darci). In "Airheads", he became jealous of Claire gaining the Shadow Staff and becoming more useful to the team, despite him being in the group longer, so he often acts quite obnoxious to her and continually recalled how she lost the Killstone (albeit most of the blame could be contributed to him as he was wasting time pretending to be the Shattered King), but he later apologizes for his behavior.

Equipment[]

  • Warhammer: The Warhammer is Toby's primary choice of weapon. It has the ability to change how it is affected by gravity (due to the gravity curse trapped inside), becoming very light or very heavy. Throughout the majority in the second arc of Part One, Toby had a lot of trouble wielding it, even during his battle with Angor Rot. Luckily, in Part Two, Blinky repurposed it so he could not only be able to extend it from an ornate handle-like piece and retract it at will, but also control it manageably better. Since then, Toby gains greater control in wielding his Warhammer, even using it to fly during his battles against Morgana and Morando, with the latter once being staggered when he was hit once.
  • Junk Armor: In a few episodes throughout the series, Toby made his own homemade armor consisting of a stove pot with a flashlight as a helmet, a food tray with a phone taped to it as a chest plate, and a locker door as a shield.
    • Baseball Bat: Before receiving his Warhammer, Toby used a baseball bat as his combat weapon. He once used it once to smack Stricklander in the Gronk-nuks in "The Battle of Two Bridges".
  • Armor: At the end of "In Good Hands", Merlin crafts Toby his own suit of armor which protects him from mortal damage, and his helmet even has a built-in flashlight.
  • Fetch: Toby first acquired the Fetch from Strickler's office in "Recipe for Disaster", though after he used it to send Chompsky into the Darklands, he briefly placed it with the Killahead Bridge Chamber within Trollmarket, until Jim enters the Darklands alone. He used it to peek into the Darklands to find Jim and left behind Nougat Nummies with "KIC" messages (and provide him some nourishment). Toby now keeps the Fetch in his room, as NotEnrique and Chompsky used to reenter the Darklands and save the baby familiars.
  • Changeling Key (briefly): In "Recipe for Disaster", Toby finds Strickler's key within his pen, but he wasn't able to unlock the changeling lock due to his human physiology, so he hands it to NotEnrique to open Strickler's secret office. Later on in the episode "In Good Hands", Strickler gave Toby back his key after he fixed it (so he could use it without the need of a changeling) to unlock his old office and retrieve an Antramonstrum shell.
  • Glamour Mask: In Part Two, while Jim was in the Darklands, Toby used the Glamour Mask to cover up Jim's disappearance from Barbara. Later on, Toby uses it to disguise himself as Vendel in order to steal his staff.
  • Elix-Lore (briefly): After many exhausting hours of trying to find a way to get the Inferna Copula off of Strickler in "Party Monster", Toby uses a bottle of Elix-Lore from RotGut's to help speed things up. However, instead of taking a draft as the instructions said, he drinks the entire bottle, thus he begins craving more knowledge from the books to the point where he can't control himself. Luckily, the effects wore off in the end.
  • Headgear (briefly): In "Grand Theft Otto", Dr. Muelas gave Toby a headgear for his braces after he broke his jaw chasing Otto Scaarbach. Interestingly, Toby's headgear was able to pick up local radio waves and frequencies, including secret transmissions from the Janus Order, which he uses to find the coordinates of their hidden base in Arcadia. However, Otto removes Toby's headgear from him so he wouldn't be able to eavesdrop on the Janus Order's transmissions again (although he was more grateful to be freed from his headgear).
  • Diablo Maximus Tacos/Burritos: Toby almost always carries a bag of spicy tacos and burritos wherever he goes, including on his troll hunting missions. He once used his tacos to upset Gatto's stomach enough to "exit" his keep in "Roaming Fees May Apply" after finding the Birthstone, and later used a large burrito in "It's About Time" after finding the Kairosect. He claims that he spent three years building up a tolerance for eating a Diablo Maximus burrito without receiving digestive problems. His burrito was spicy enough to send Señor Uhl into the men's room for the entire day, leaving the kids to play around the school until the evening.
