* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: The trollhunter’s job is to “heed the call”, which apparently means that it is Jim’s job to do ''everything'' troll society demands of him, including taking care of one troll’s gnome infestation. Blinky justifies the troll’s request by suggesting that it would make a good first lesson for Jim.
