- “Initially the concept of the armor was that it should feel somewhat bulky on Jim, as it was not meant to be worn by a human, representing Jim's struggle with his sense of responsibility of being a Trollhunter. That idea, however, negated the concept of the armor being its own magical being that adapts to its wearer. The armor itself is a character. We decided to streamline the concept and make it fit as much like a second skin on Jim as possible.”

The Trollhunter Armor (or the Daylight Armor) was a magical suit of armor worn by the Trollhunter.
Description[]
The Trollhunter Armor was a silver suit of knight's armor consisting of a chestplate, two shoulder pads (one bigger than the other), a pair of leggings, knee braces, boots, clamps, had blue glowing trimmings around in it, a black inner layer underneath the armor and the Amulet of Daylight was connected on the left side of the chestplate. After Jim unlocked the power of Gunmar's Eye, he was able to manifest a silver helmet with two back-facing horns.
Powers[]
- Summoning: The armor magically attached itself to the warrior when activated by the Amulet of Daylight.
- Sword of Daylight Conjuring: The Trollhunter Armor also allows the wearer to summon the Sword of Daylight, or just Daylight, whenever they wish to.
- Weapon Conjuring: After the Amulet was upgraded with the Birthstone and the Killstone, the armor gained the ability to summon two boomerang-like daggers known as Glaives and a large warrior shield. When the Eye of Gunmar was added to the Amulet, the armor gained the ability to summon a helmet that can protect the wearer from the evil influence of the Decimaar Blade of Gunmar and other injuries.
- Enhanced Durability: Like the Sword of Daylight, the armor was made of pure sunlight, providing additional protection against the Trolls.
- Enhanced Strength: The armor also provided the warrior extra strength.
- Enhanced Speed: The armor can greatly enhance the Speed and Agility of the wearer
- Limited Force Field: The armor also produced a brief force field around the warrior to protect them from too much harm.
Limitations[]
- Lack of Sunlight Protection: Although the armor was made of pure sunlight and didn't hurt the Trollhunter himself, the armor could not protect the warrior from natural sunlight (only if the chosen warrior is a troll).
- Exhaustion: Due to great exhaustion, various armor abilities cannot be used or can only be used partially. This is shown in the second season with Jim in the Darklands.
Appearances[]
Trivia[]
- A green glow which comes out of nowhere reflects off of the armor whenever Jim is seen wearing it. As such, it is probably connected to Merlin and his green magic.
