Vulgar is a Viking boy who longs for the glory days of raiding, pillaging and enormous beards. Life in the village of Blubber is so dull, it's all knitting and goat-herding and yawwwnnn. Vulgar feels it's up to him to introduce a bit of mayhem and chaos, and just as soon as he's finished juggling with elk manure, he's going to relish the challenge.

When the Villagers of Blubber decide to hold a talent show, Vulgar knows it's his time to shine. Will he perform his armpit 'music' or juggle some elk poo? No! He will act out a Viking legend, with fighting and dragons and giants and all that stuff. And he will win! Won't he?

Vulgar the Viking is all a-quiver. The villages of Blubber and Gulp are about to compete in the Great Gulp Games! Every year, Blubber gets clobbered, but Vulgar is determined that this time, things will be different... With the help of his friends, Vulgar starts training in earnest. There isn't a goat he doesn't hurdle over, a hammer he won't throw or a walrus he hasn't wrestled. Vulgar is out for glory and he'll stop at nothing - NOTHING - to bring home the gold...

Vulgar's new teacher is called Otto the Bone-Cruncher and he's a proper viking! Vulgar can't wait for the school trip, to learn all about hunting and exploring and having adventures. But after a very VERY long walk and a tea of roasted slugs, Vulgar's not so chipper. It's getting dark, and he's a bit spooked. There are trolls in these hills...
