Huffknot was a Lugtroll who was the kitchen-slave for Hestera Spikesap before Rook. She had him transport several poisonous substances to the shrykes in return for new ingredients, but he was caught by General Tytugg's goblins. Huffknot claimed that the poisons were merely cosmetics, but General Tytugg tortured the truth out of Huffknot by sticking a pin into the various poisons and pricking the unfortunate Lugtroll's skin. After enduring multiple unpleasant complaints brought on by Hestera's poisons, Huffknot finally confessed as General Tytugg was about to use the most dangerous one.
