Ob'm know. Maybe eat it, kids.
Meeple variations of Peasantry characters and the main characters have been created for use in Trogdor!! The Board Game or any game of the player's choosing. As defined by Strong Sad, a meeple is a wooden approximation of a human character in a tabletop game.

The meeples have only two to four colors, while the back (in some cases) and sides of the meeple have only one color (bolded in the "Colors" column). The reverse is typically a flipped image of the design on the front, although a few have no printing on the back. The cottages and DAGRON meeples are exceptions, as they have different designs on the front and back. The meeples' designs are simplified with flat colors, and the artwork has few outlines.

[edit] Homestar Runner Characters

The main character meeple set is available for purchase in the Store. They also appeared as characters in the Kickstarter toon Meeple Grove. When animated, they "shimmy in place" when they talk while their mouths don't move.

[edit] Trogdor!! The Board Game

The initial Kickstarter edition of Trogdor!! The Board Game included wooden meeples as playing pieces, with the option to add plastic miniatures as well. The retail edition of the game only comes with the miniatures.

These meeples can also be used to play Stack 'Em to the Heavens.

[edit] Peasantry Characters

Image Colors Description Appearances
"Ow! My beef!" Green, dark green, black, peach Meeple Trogdor
He uses four colors, unlike most other meeples. Due to the perspective, only one eye is visible. His teeth aren't filled in, and his wingalings are dark green. Because his feet are stick-figure-like, the meeple stands up using a dark green semicircle at the bottom, which his feet are drawn on. He is depicted in mid-stride.

"The result is WAY less amphibian." Green, dark green

Meeple Archers
In the old version, the archers appear to be connected, drawn in black on a green background, firing in opposite directions. They are stylistically drawn in very few lines, so their bodies aren't visible. The left archer's elbow is bent, while the right archer's elbow is not visible.

In the new version, the outlines are dark green instead of black. They are drawn similarly to the old version, but with more lines, making the image clearer. The castle is filled in, and light stone brick lines are visible. Unlike most meeples, the sides are two different colors.

Stink not included Brown, peach Meeple Peasant
They are shaped more like a traditional meeple. Their robes are brown, and their faces are peach, as well as the ropes around their robes (in which a knot is visible, and a small bag is held inside). A Flame Helmet can be added to them.

ThatchedFront: Light gray, yellow, dark gray Meeple Thatched-Roof Cottage
A few brick lines are visible in dark gray, and some thatch lines are visible on the top in light gray. The back of the meeple depicts an orange flame, although it was originally yellow. This is one of the only meeples to have a unique design on the back, due to the burninating nature of the game.

[edit] Alternate Dragons

In addition to the gameplay pieces, a set of dragons (as seen in dragon) were released as alternatives to use instead of Trogdor.

You've run out of luck Light green, green, black, peach Meeple The S is for Sucks Dragon
Like Trogdor, he uses four colors. His teeth are filled in with light green, and the negative space between his body, head, and arm is filled in with black. The spikes on his tail are the same color as the rest of his body. Notably, this is the first time the S is for Sucks Dragon's colors have been revealed.

Majesty not included White, black, light blue Meeple Trogdor Drawing
This meeple is nearly identical to the basic Trogdor meeple, except it's colored as if it's drawn on notebook paper, and it’s breathing fire.

Keep doing your thing Front: Brown, dark brown, tan

Meeple Dagron/Toaster's Choice
A perfect rectangle. The front displays Strong Mad's "DAGRON", while the back shows Homsar's "Taster's Choice" (changed to "Toaster's Choice" to avoid legal issues with Nescafé).

On the "DAGRON" side, the table is brown, while the wood grain is outlined in dark brown.

On the "toaster's choice" side, the text is lowercase, instead of capitalized as it was in the original email. This side of the meeple has never been shown in any promotional material, making it an Easter egg of sorts, just as how Taster's Choice was in the original email.
