Sigmund is an ancient Giant who appears in the graphic novels, the animated series and the novelizations.
According to his biography in the graphic novels, Sigmund is a cousin of Jorgen, and a rival to Aldinn's leadership. This rivalry however is not seen in the animated series. He was known for his long, luxurious fur which he washed twice a day in the sea. Like the other Ancient Giants, he was eventually driven off the Earth by early humans. Sigmund is kind and was one of the first ones to take the leap into space.
Appearance[]
Sigmund is a brown giant with purple glowing eyes. He has a mustache growing on either side of his nose that is the same colour of his body, brown. His body is covered in thick fur.
Biography[]
Graphic novels[]
In the graphic novels, Sigmund is seen on a two-page image in "Hilda and the Midnight Giant" depicting the giants of old. He plays no direct part in any of the stories as the giants left Earth long ago by the time the graphic novel is set.
He also appears on a 1-panel flashback, but for some reason he has a different color fur here.
Animated series[]
In "Chapter 2: The Midnight Giant", Sigmund appears in both a book owned by the Wood Man about the giants of old, and in a flashback when the Wood Man tells Hilda about the history of the giants. He is shown getting attacked by humans, who fire flaming boulders at him using catapults.
In "Chapter 3: The Giantslayer", Hilda and the Wood Man meet the ancient giants after traveling 3000 years into the past with the Faratok tree. Sigmund is one of them while curiously, his appearance looked slightly different than from before. He is first seen in a valley, and later when attending a meeting with the other giants where they decide they have to leave the Earth. At the end of the episode, they follow up on this decision and leap off the planet into space.
Novelization[]
The events of "Chapter 3: The Giantslayer" are adapted into "Hilda and the Faratok Tree". Sigmunds role in this story is similar to the animated series. Along with Aldinn, he summons all Giants for an emergency meeting after Drib has been rescued from Halvor and his army. The giants decide the Earth has become too small for them and they should move into space. Hilda tries to convince the giants otherwise, but a second attack by Halvor and his troops proves the final straw and one by one the giants leap off the Earth, Sigmund included.
