Introduction

In the town of Cheesebridge, rumors of a terrifying monster called the “Boggart” circulated—said to appear at night and snatch children. Beneath the town, a kind-hearted boy named Eggs lived happily with trolls, who, contrary to the rumors, spent their nights quietly collecting junk and creating inventions.
However, the town’s powerful Lord Linde captured the trolls one by one. Even Eggs’ guardian, Fish, is taken, prompting Eggs to venture above ground and encounter human society for the first time. Determined to rescue his beloved family, Eggs joins forces with Lord Linde’s spirited daughter, Winnie, to confront the Snatcher and his extermination brigade.
