Loam is a Walking Land Creature that first appeared in the tie-in book Hilda and the Fairy Village. She also plays a role in Season 3 of the animated series.
Appearance[]
Loam looks like most other Walking Land Creatures in that she is basically a slab of turf on legs. However, she is significantly bigger than the walking land creature seen in "Hilda and the Stone Forest"/"Chapter 1: The Troll Circle", as she can carry Astrid. In the tie-in novel, she is even bigger than in the animated series, being able to carry both Astrid and Johanna on her back simultaneously.
History[]
Animated series[]
Loam is the pet of Astrid. She is first seen when Astrid picks up Hilda, Johanna, David, Frida, and Tontu from the Tofoten train station. She carries their bags to Astrid's house. She also helps Astrid with her mail round.
Loam also helps carry their bags back to the station when Johanna cuts the vacation short and returns to Trolberg.
In "Chapter 8: The Fairy Isle", Loam stays with David and Frida after Astrid follows Hilda and Johanna into fairy country. She is seen getting along well with Twig.
Tie-in books[]
After The Pooka shows up at Astrid's house with a stolen woff egg but Hilda tricks him into dropping it, Astrid orders Loam to bring the egg back to the Woff cave
Later in the story, after Johanna learns from The Pooka that Hilda, David, and Frida have gone back to a Fairy Mound they visited earlier, Astrid offers her a ride on Loam. It takes Loam only ten minutes to run from the station to the Fairy Mound. Hilda has entered the mound and Frida attempts to dig her out, but the mound resists. Astrid orders Loam to dig instead, but even Loam is no match for the Fairy Mound.
