Ep 9. Creepslayerz

In the ninth episode of Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia's second season, titled "Creepslayerz," Jim is confronted with a difficult challenge when his friends decide to take up their own troll hunting hobby. Toby and Claire, determined to prove their worth as troll hunters, establish their own "Creepslayerz" club and begin to patrol the streets looking for trouble. However, their inexperience and lack of knowledge soon become apparent as they unknowingly put themselves in danger.

Jim, worried about the safety of his friends, attempts to dissuade them from their mission but ultimately realizes that they won't be deterred. With the help of Blinky, Jim sets off to monitor them from a distance and intervene when necessary. The trio of amateur troll hunters stumble upon Strickler disguised as a human and assume him to be an enemy. They pursue him to the high school, where they finally confront him.

The situation quickly deteriorates as Strickler gains the upper hand and nearly kills the Creepslayerz. Fortunately, Jim arrives in time to rescue them and defeat Strickler. In the aftermath of the encounter, the trio learns a valuable lesson about the seriousness of troll hunting and reevaluates the risks involved.

Meanwhile, the ongoing battle between the trolls and Gunmar's army intensifies as the trolls attempt to fend off waves of goblins. Blinky, working with Vendel, prepares a countermeasure: a powerful potion designed to annihilate goblins. However, their plan is impeded by the discovery that a key ingredient for the potion, Gaggletack, is extinct. With no other options, Blinky and Vendel set out to find an alternative ingredient.

As the episode progresses, the audience is treated to glimpses of Jim's personal life, as he balances his responsibilities as a chosen troll hunter with his obligations to his family and friends. His relationships with Toby, Claire, and especially his mother, become more complicated as the stakes rise. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving the fate of the trolls and the Creepslayerz uncertain.
