- “Your life more important. Not pet. Wingman.”
- ―AAARRRGGHH!!! to Toby, renouncing his pacifist oath in "The Battle of Two Bridges"
Aarghaumont, also know as AAARRRGGHH!!!, is one of the main stars in the Tales of Arcadia franchise. He appears as the quinagonist of Trollhunters, a minor (later major) character of 3Below, and an upcoming major character of Wizards.
Official Description
"Upon first glance, AAARRRGGHH!!! appears to be a hulking brute, but in reality, he's a gentle giant with a limited choice of words. He often speaks in simple sentences such as Jim Good. Once a feared lieutenant for Gunmar's army, AAARRRGGHH!!! has since renounced his heinous ways and has joined the good Trolls. A reformed fighter, AAARRRGGHH!!! has adopted a zen-like attitude for pacifism, avoiding conflict. As threats grow and stakes rise, will AAARRRGGHH!!! remain a pacifist for long?"
History
Backstory
AAARRRGGHH!!! once lived in the Deep Caverns of the Krubera trolls as a young troll, alongside his "brothers". However, when he was a just a youngling, Queen Usurna intentionally traded AAARRRGGHH!!! to the Gumm-Gumms to give them a champion. AAARRRGGHH!!!, however, was lead to believe that Gunmar raided his village, kidnapping him and taking him away from his family.
As he was raised to be a soldier in the Gumm-Gumm Army, due to the Krubera's natural sensitivity to light, AAARRRGGHH!!! was forced to adapt in a variety of ways and so doing stunted his ability to speak coherently like the rest of his kind.
AAARRRGGHH!!! was once the general of Gunmar's horde, but just before the Battle of Killahead Bridge, he saw the error of his ways and began a road of peace and became a pacifist. With his aid, the good trolls triumphed over Gunmar, with Deya the Deliverer banishing Gunmar and his Gumm-Gumm Army, minus Bular, to the Darklands. At some point, AAARRRGGH!!! befriended Blinky Galadrigal during their journey in the New World.

Physical Appearance
- “His design is incredibly appealing—his huge, potentially threatening physique is balanced by his sweet wide eyed expression and his furry mane. Who AAARRRGGHH!!! becomes as a friend and a troll is even more poignant once Usurna and her tribe are introduced and we realize where AAARRRGGHH!!! came from.”
- ―Christina Steinberg, Executive Producer[src]
AAARRRGGHH!!! is a huge Krubera troll with rock-like gray skin, green eyes, and a dark green beard and hair on his shoulders, back and chest. He has four short horns and a large black nose, and patterns on his arms, knees, waist and chest.
When AAARRRGGHH!!! is overcome with anger or he is in an uncontrollable rage, the patterns on his skin light up with a green magic, similar to the krubera's blue patterns, and his eyes turn completely black with glowing green pupils.
Personality
- “From the beginning, AAARRRGGHH!!! was written to be the most lovable creature—the best friend we would all want to have and a protector for Toby, Jim, and Claire in the midst of the mayhem that unfolds in Arcadia. It was always important that you would fall in love with him immediately so that Jim and the audience understood why the troll world was worth saving and protecting. He is unique despite his fact that there are others who look just like him, others who seem devoid of warmth or friendship.”
- ―Christina Steinberg, Executive Producer[src]
AAARRRGGHH!!! is a fun-loving, loyal, friendly, and gentle giant, who has a tragic history from childhood. When he was taken by the Gumm-Gumms at a tender age, his speech was permanently impaired and doesn't speak as elegantly as the other Krubera trolls. He's also not very bright, as he forms simple sentences and not understanding big words, constantly confused by Blinky's large vocabulary.
In the past, AAARRRGGHH!!! was once a violent Gumm-Gumm, raised to eat innocent humans and was the general of Gunmar's army. However, after he renounced his flesh-eating ways, he became more gentle and friendly, even making an oath to never kill anyone and becomes a pacifist.
There are times when AAARRRGGHH!!!'s rage happens unexpectedly, like when Toby plays a violent video game which scares AAARRRGGHH!!! into his Gumm-Gumm episode. After becoming Toby's bodyguard, AAARRRGGHH!!! was reluctant, due to his aggressive history, yet Toby encourages him that they are friends and plays more friendly games with each other. After which, AAARRRGGHH!!! grows more confident in his strength and begins to become more of a fighter than a "pet", renouncing his pacifist oath to protect his friends instead.

Trivia
- In the original book, AAARRRGGHH!!! was female. This is eventually revealed to the human characters because of AARRRGGHH!!! lacked the traditional female gender characteristics that would be recognizable to humans and was initially believed to be a male Troll. However, in the cartoon adaptation, AAARRRGGHH!!'s gender was switched to male, presumably to avoid that confusion.
- AAARRRGGHH!!! is the first character to be revived in the series, the second being Angor Rot.
- AAARRRGGHH!!! is also the only Krubera troll in the series who has hair, as his other Krubera brethren have no hair, but have similar horns.
- In "Recipe for Disaster", Blinky stated that AAARRRGGHH!!! defected from the Gumm-Gumms before the Battle of Killahead, yet the graphic novel "Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia The Secret History of Trollkind" depicted AAARRRGGHH!!! fighting for Gunmar during the Battle of Killahead, only to inexplicably save Kanjigar from Bular. They both then fled the battlefield before Deya the Deliverer initiated the Convergence.
- AAARRRGGHH!!! shares many similarities with the Hulk from the Marvel Universe:
- Both are incredibly strong with a huge build.
- Both are green.
- Both are subject to violent tendencies when provoked.
- Both have limited speech pattern.
- Both are voiced by Fred Tatasciore.
