Sex & Nudity

  • Relationships are a part of the human characters' mundane struggles.
  • Occasional kiss scenes.
  • The third rule of trollhunting is "when in doubt, go for the gronk-nuks." This is implied to mean hitting an opponent in the genitalia.

Violence & Gore

  • Goblins explode into slime when killed, which is quite graphic.
  • Changelings explode into dust when they die.
  • The second rule of trollhunting is "always finish the fight" meaning kill your opponent. However, Jim sees the flaws of this rule.
  • A high school kid says: "You broke my tooth. I'm gonna break your life. When I'm through with you, you're gonna wish you were dead".
  • In part 3 there's very mild blood in two nose bleeds and a cut on the cheek if small amount of blood dripping from it.

Profanity

  • A few uses of "god" throughout Season 1, and one use of "crap" in the second part of the pilot episode "Becoming" respectively.
  • When Toby is not joking about his size or mentioning counting calories, dieting, losing weight, etc he's often pretty creepy/desperate around female characters including the Jim's own mom.

  • Gunmar turns troll into Gumm-Gumms in a process implied to be permanent. Jim is sometimes forced to kill these converted trolls to protect those that remain.
