Night Stallion
He rules the Dream World inside the Gourd. Also known as Trojan and The Horse of Another Color. He does not leave the Gourd himself, except for the Trial of Roxanna Roc and in Swell Foop, but sends the Night Mares to deliver nightmares to dreamers. Smash Ogre fought with him to regain his soul in Ogre, Ogre after trading it for Tandy's, which she had lost by trickery earlier. Formerly a Demon, he was stripped of this status and as penalty sent to the Gourd Realm as the supervisor. His true love is Helen of Troy.

Alone and alone, with a speckled shin?

Between two barrels at the inn.
Oro, oro!
To-morrow night I will break down the door.”

unbridled, with arrow-pattern,
are worked on.

before the door
of religion and inspiration....”
