Plot
[edit]In a medieval world, Tigtone is an intense and high-strung adventurer with a penchant for the over-dramatic and a murderous obsession for quests. He resides in the surreal, medieval kingdom of Propecia, ruled by its two-headed conjoined twin monarchs, King-Queen, who is regularly flanked by their effeminate man-child son Prince Lavender and their frequently put-upon attendant Command-Or Mathis. Joined by his trusty and expendable companion Helpy, Tigtone regularly accepts tasks and assignments that take him to various locations in Propecia, slaughtering numerous enemies along the way.
Characters
[edit]Main characters
[edit]- Tigtone (voiced by Nils Frykdahl as an adult, Cree Summer as a child) – The primary protagonist, a wandering adventurer with an obsession for quests.
- Helpy (voiced by Debi Derryberry) – An unspecified creature and Tigtone's companion whose regenerative powers make them regularly exploited and abused, even after becoming friends with Tigtone. In the finale of the first season, Helpy was revealed to have used Tigtone's quests to gather items needed for their master The Greater Good,only to subsequently be betrayed by The Greater Good and make amends with Tigtone.
- King-Queen (King voiced by Bill Corbett and Queen voiced by Lucy Davis) – The two-headed ruler of Propecia. One head is a male who is a king and the other head is a female who is a queen. In season two, it was revealed that the queen half of King-Queen had an affair with the late Amothedeus which led to Lavender killing the king half and send the queen half into exile. The queen half starts to hallucinate seeing her husband's ghost as she plans to reclaim her kingdom. In "Tigtone and the Stakes" upon Helpy getting the queen half to Propecia, the king half is revived by Lavender as the king half apologizes to Lavender for not being his real dad.
- Lore Mastra (voiced by Cree Summer) – The intense keeper of the royal library who often acts as a dispatcher for Tigtone's quests. She is prone to unpredictable fits of rage.
- Prince Lavender (voiced by Jeffrey Combs) – The man-child son of King-Queen. In the second season, Lavender finds out that his true father is the late Amothedeus making him a half-wizard leading to him killing the king half of King-Queen and driving the queen half into exile. He then collaborates with Spaceress in plots to take down Tigtone. By the end of the second season, Prince Lavender revives the king half of King-Queen while reconciling with his parents and maintaining his love for Spaceress.
- Command-Or Mathis (voiced by Trace Beaulieu) – The put-upon attendant of King-Queen, who frequently attempts to impress the monarch, but is constantly overshadowed by Tigtone's accomplishments. In "Tigtone and the Stakes," Mathis is turned to stone during the fight against Lavendar and Spaceress.

Tigtone is tasked with defeating the necromancer Wadsor (Brandon Johnson), who has been stealing the souls from Propecia's chickens as a means of revitalizing his rock army. While preferring to accomplish the task to kill Wadsor with a magic dagger by himself, Tigone is reluctant with having King-Queen provide him with a fellowship consisting of the ranger Poach-Or (Blake Anderson), the barbarian Axeanne (Cree Summer), and the elf Redünart. Along the way, his companions are each killed one-by-one throughout his quest as Tigtone rescues a creature he dubs Helpy whom Wadsor held prisoner for his magical regeneration powers. Helpy helps Tigtone kill Wadsor with Tigtone deciding to keep Helpy as his companion. | |||||||
2 | 2 | "...and the Beautiful War" | Andreas Trolf | Frederic Cristy | January 14, 2019 | TBA | N/A |
A spreading plague of beauty has wracked the land of Propecia, and made it impossible for Lord Festus to do his job, working best in a brutal and hideous environment. He calls upon Tigtone to find the source of the beauty plague (which has already claimed Helpy, making him incredibly handsome) and put an end to it, to "re-uglify" the land. Their travels lead them to a kingdom of stunningly gorgeous unicorns residing above the clouds, who are locked in battle with each other to determine who is the most beautiful. Amidst the chaos of the battling unicorns, Tigtone meets an ugly unicorn named Zlotovf (Alan Oppenheimer), who explains that their bloodshed is what's causing the beauty plague in Tigtone's realm, and reveals another hidden world above the unicorn's, where a race of hideously ugly creatures reside. Tigtone and Helpy journey to this realm, and upon discovering that the creatures' tears reverse the unicorn's blood, Tigtone verbally abuses them until they cry an uglifying rain upon the land. | |||||||
3 | 3 | "...and the Wine Crisis" | Andreas Trolf | Sean Glaze and Stanley Von Medvey | January 21, 2019 | TBA | N/A |
A wine shortage has wracked Propecia, and several of the land's vineyards have gone missing, leaving the populace without much-desired wine to drink. King-Queen tasks Tigtone with finding the cause of the wine shortage before it's too late. Tigtone and Helpy's travels lead them to an untouched vineyard, where they happily drink their fill of wine, only for the entire vineyard (along with the rest of Propecia's vineyards) to be uprooted by a band of sky pirates, led by the vicious air pirate Zuviell (Grey DeLisle). Tigtone fights Zuviell to a standstill, and he and Helpy are forced to retreat. Tigtone soon hatches a plan to rid themselves of the sky pirates, by turning Helpy into a vampire, and unleashing them upon the pirates in their slumber. They awaken in horror to discover their transformation, only for Tigtone to explain that they no longer crave wine, but blood instead. Upon realizing this, Zuviell declares they will no longer steal wine, and returns the stolen vineyards to Propecia, where they set to drinking the blood of its denizens. | |||||||
4 | 4 | "...and Those Elemental Kings" | Andrew Koehler | Frederic Cristy, Sean Glaze, and Stanley Von Medvey | January 21, 2019 | TBA | N/A |
Tigtone regales Helpy with a story of the time he discovered an enchanted doorway, which only could be opened with several symbols of power held by four elemental kings. In his story, Tigtone fights the gargantuan Metal King, the hideous Blood King (Neil Hamburger), the pushover Lightning King, and the masochistic Pain King, receiving tokens of power from each one as he defeats them. Helpy then asks what Tigtone discovered behind the doorway once he got it open, only for Tigtone to remember that he never opened the door after receiving the symbols. The two of them immediately head to the doorway's location to see for themselves, but the visions they encounter inside of it horrify and traumatize the both of them for several days. Tigtone then declares that no mortal man should ever set foot inside the door... for free. The two of them then set up an admissions booth and charge the people of Propecia to walk through the door and experience its horrors themselves. | |||||||

Tigtone is rewarded for completing a quest by being transformed into a wizard. As he and Helpy marvel and delight in his newfound magical powers, Propecia prepares for its annual Wizard Hunt during which an alignment of the land's many moons saps the land's magician community of its magical powers rendering them mortal. Tigtone soon finds himself caught up in the middle of the hunt when his powers give out without warning gravely injuring Helpy who can no longer magically regenerate. Tigtone seeks refuge amongst a clan of wizards hiding out from the hunting parties whose leader Crackers (Fred Willard) devises a plan to reroute all the magic sapped by Propecia's moons into the creation of a giant kaiju-like wizard. The giant wizard goes berserk and begins to destroy much of Propecia during which Tigtone comes up with a new plan: Build a giant Tigtone to battle the wizard. With the assistance of the giant Tigtone, the kaiju wizard is defeated, releasing all the collected magic back into Propecia's wizards and into Helpy who can now regenerate again. | |||||||

Tigtone's excitement turns to disappointment when he learns that his task is to locate the legendary Fertile Centaur (John Waters) and escort him back to the coven before sundown. Tigtone agrees, but angrily makes his disdain for the quest known at every opportunity, escort quests being Tigtone's least favorite. He and Helpy locate the Fertile Centaur, but find him a nuisance who stubbornly refuses to travel and is very nearly killed multiple times. After Tigtone searches inward, he realizes that all of his quests have indirectly been escort quests and fully dedicates himself to completing his task, which moves the Fertile Centaur into cooperation, before promptly dying from an allergic reaction to a bee sting, forcing Tigtone and Helpy to cobble together a makeshift fake Fertile Centaur to present to the coven. | |||||||

In between quests, Tigtone happens upon Beconka (Cree Summer), who appears to be a gender-swapped equal to Tigtone.

After mercilessly competing with each other throughout the journey, Tigtone and Beconka eventually realize they will not be able to traverse the giant separately and team up, becoming soulmates along the way. Meanwhile Helpy stays behind at the tavern with Beconka's helper Jacques (Gary Anthony Williams) who lords over Helpy with his superior qualities, driving Helpy into depression and inferiority complex. Helpy turns the tables on Jacques however, murdering him brutally after learning Jacques does not have regenerative powers. After retrieving their quarry Tigtone and Helpy part ways with Beconka, mourning that in spite of their mutual love of questing they could never be together. | |||||||
8 | 8 | "...and the Cemetery of the Dead" | Benjamin Martian | Frederic Cristy, Sean Glaze, and Stanley Von Medvey | February 4, 2019 | TBA | N/A |
After being called to investigate a series of murders at a local campsite, Tigtone deduces that the only way to get the answers he seeks is to enter the land of the dead and interrogate the spirits of those that were killed. With the assistance of a temporary death potion, Tigtone enters the afterlife and is initially confused by the terrified reaction he receives. A mysterious spirit (Paul Reubens) reveals to Tigtone's horror that he was responsible for the murders. Upon his revival from temporary death, Tigtone turns himself in to Propecia's authority to be tried and executed. Helpy, not convinced that Tigtone was responsible, decides to investigate. Helpy soon discovers that the murders were committed by the local groundskeeper C.J. (Blake Anderson), who had disguised himself as Tigtone to frame him at the orders of the mysterious spirit in the afterlife, revealed to be a serial killer whom Tigtone had brought to justice named Cryptomb. Before Tigtone can be executed, Helpy reveals the truth to Propecia. Enraged, Tigtone re-enters the afterlife temporarily and takes revenge on Cryptomb and C.J. for framing him. | |||||||
9 | 9 | "...and the Singing Blade" | Benjamin Martian | Mike Carlo, Sean Glaze, and Stanley Von Medvey | February 11, 2019 | TBA | N/A |
The story is told from the perspective of the talking, murderous Bard Sword (John DiMaggio), recounting the story of his encounter with Tigtone to King Queen and Tigtone himself in front of an active volcano. The Bard Sword sings a story of his discovery by a delinquent youth named Daker (Debi Derryberry), who teams up with the talking blade to kill citizens of Propecia and take their armaments, to build a body made out of weapons (for more efficient killing purposes). Tigtone, angered that there are no more weapons to purchase, tracks the duo down, but is unable to fight them as he morally cannot kill a child. To get around this, Tigtone drinks a magic potion that transforms him into a youth, but only succeeds in irritating Helpy with childish behavior. The Bard Sword completes his body without Daker, who gradually gets bored and leaves. Before the Bard Sword can commit any more murders however, Helpy arrives to challenge the Bard Sword with Tigtone, who has now transformed himself into a sword. The Bard Sword is defeated, but Tigtone is unable to transform back as he only has enough potion to transform back into a child. Tigtone is transformed thusly, while Helpy raises him. Back in present day however, the Bard Sword is declared to be an unreliable narrator and is tossed into the volcano. | |||||||
10 | 10 | "...vs. Nothing" | Andrew Koehler | Mike Carlo, Sean Glaze, and Stanley Von Medvey | February 11, 2019 | TBA | N/A |
Partway through a quest, Helpy reveals to Tigtone that they were on a quest of their own- to form a magical talisman known as the Jengas, which they had been doing over the course of the season with random trinkets found in each episode. Declaring that their life purpose was to help the greater good, Helpy takes the Jengas and disappears, but not before using it to bring the world into perfect balance and peacefulness. Tigtone soon finds himself restless and without direction, as there are no quests to be found in a peaceful world. In desperation, Tigtone calls upon the Crystal Gods for assistance, who reveal to him that the "greater good" that Helpy was assisting was actually a rogue god with the name The Greater Good (Jeffrey Combs). Determined to defeat him, Tigtone journeys to The Greater Good's ethereal realm, only to find that he has betrayed Helpy, and is now using them as a source of infinite life. Helpy implores Tigtone to kill them in order to sever their regenerative powers from The Greater Good, which Tigtone does with great hesitation and despair. Drained of regenerative abilities, The Greater Good is left vulnerable to Tigtone, who promptly kills him to avenge Helpy. In gratitude for killing The Greater Good, the Crystal Gods bring Helpy back to life, and the two of them leave with the Jengas. Once returned to Propecia, Tigtone uses the Jengas' power to create widespread chaos and havoc throughout the world, ensuring an endless supply of quests for the two of them. |
