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.

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or stallion:
“The place became full of a watchful intentness now; for when other things sank brooding to sleep the heath appeared slowly to awake and listen. Every night its Titanic form seemed to await something; but it had waited thus, unmoved, during so many centuries, through the crises of so many things, that it could only be imagined to await one last crisis—the final overthrow.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“The stallion and his mare,
unbridled, with arrow-pattern,
are worked on.
the blue cloth
before the door
of religion and inspiration....”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
