Novelization
The events of "Chapter 6: The Old Bells of Trolberg" and "Chapter 13: The Stone Forest" got adapted into "Hilda and the Time Worm" and "Hilda and the White Woff" respectively.

In the latter, he plays a larger role in rescuring Hilda and Johanna from the Two-Headed Troll by attacking and distracting the troll so he fails to notice he has reached the exit of the cave, and runs outside into the sun.
