Every Creature In Hilda, Explained!

[@CartoonUniverse]

What is your favorite creature in Hilda? Mine is the wood man, but its a hard choice with so many cool ones. Also, sorry I didn't include elves, they just didn't seem like an 'animal' compared to the other species.

[@TomUniverse]

If you look up "Hilda Season 2 Spoiler", you will find me.

[@CreativaArtly]

The Deerfoxes and Tantoo the Nissa are my main faves tho Woodman is also fun. Also Alfur the elf is just so much fun! He’s adorable, him and his rules, deals, and charts.

Hilda is one of my most favorite cartoons ever. I wish the Mara could've made a small appearance though.

This video forgot about the Marra. Which are interesting due to being very ambiguous as to what they actually are. Spirits or just teenagers with powers. The series has evidence for both.

In old folktales in Finland, they say the aurora borealis (revontulet) are created by or at least connected to a fire fox. It's really old though but I still remember hearing about it, which is why I really liked that deerfoxes were connected to aurora borealis

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I was under the impression that Sigurd was just the Swamp Man’s name rather than his species (i.e. he is Sigurd rather than a sigurd)

[@elg6197]

You are correct. Swamp man is the species and Sigurd was his name. He just didn't like to be called "swamp man" since he doesn't call the protagonista "flesh girl"

we mention many of those in the end explaining that we didn't quite see them as creatures. some are just humans who have died or gained powers, the spirits just aren't animals, and elves are just something i didn't feel the need to put in since they;re just tiny canadians.

Some of the facts in the video are already proven in the comic which happens after "The Stone Forest". Trolls do have a language, but can only be understandable by trolls. Hilda after turning into one gained the ability to communicate in their language.

[@nmheath03]

7:37 If I recall correctly, mythological thunderbirds are eagles or hawks (as native depictions posses a hooked beak), the pterosaur depiction is reference to cryptid thunderbirds (also frequently depicted as vultures), which is simply named after the mythical one and is pretty recent portrayal.

I'm Icelandic so naturally I loved the Yule Lads the most from season 2. Growing up I didn't believe in Santa but I sure as heck believed in these boys, they were always so fun and it was fun to remember all their names and what they do. I hope that Grýla's husband, Leppalúði makes an appearance or even the Yule Cat as well. I wished they had kept in the fact that they would one by one come by and each gift children a gift every night the last 13 nights of Christmas, but I'm still glad that they had the same spirit in the show.

[@non-existent6644]

I think the "creating artificial light" is a feature that only that specific white troll has cause I think it isn't only able to create artificial light but rather has the connection to magic like witches since as we can see they also make cloudy stuff and transferred/converted Hilda.

That cliffhanger though..

[@sorryimsunny]

I’m pretty sure the dear foxes go down to earth every year or so to mate. It would make sense, as it would be hard to start a family when your whole “town” I guess you could call it is like family. So they probably go down every year to meet new deer foxes that didn’t go (for reasons) the year before. Edit: Movie update: It is shown in the movie that the high pitched bells does hurt the trolls ears (or whatever they have as ears) so that’s fun

[@SpadeAstro]

Bella do hurt the trolls. At least of I know from the mountain king

[@Stark-m2c]

I love how the Nisse are depicted in Hilda. There's an old Germanic tradition where on the Winter Solstice farmers (because in myth they only lived at farms) had to make a sweet porridge with a pat of butter on top and if you don't follow their recipe exactly, they'll basically destroy your entire farm, but the Tomtes in Hilda are really chill and as a nod to the personalities of Nisses in mythology they're also just really aloof, and I just love it. I like to mess around with people with how inaccurate some of the creatures in Hilda are from their original mythologies but I love the changes that Luke Pearson made, and I think that the Nisses, especially the main Tomte that we see all the time are so funny.
