Willie Trombone is Klaymen's best friend, and the third son of Ottoborg. Willie is not very intelligent, and has a ring on the top of his head. It is common for the ring to be caught around tree branches.

The Gathering Of Klay[]

When Ottoborg's World fell apart, Willie's chunk consisted of his red roofed house. Willie soon came across some Victoids. The Victoids thought they would have to be clever to trick Willie into eating him. However, they were wrong because Willie is extremely dim-witted. Bil soon came along and saved Willie from the Victoids. Willie then dined on Victoids for months. Eventually, Willie and Bil meet Hoborg as the three went out to collect klay. Once they got back, Hoborg included Willie's red roofed house in the Neverhood.

During The Neverhood[]

When Klogg overthrew Hoborg, Willie found a life seed which he used to give life to Klaymen. Willie then left several disks working as a historian to tell Klaymen his origin and what he had to do. During the meantime, he hid in the Cathead Mountain.

When Klaymen climbs into Bil, he notices Willie being attacked by a Weasel. Bil then saves Willie and he climbs in. After Bil's fight against the Clockwork Beast, both he and Willie end up falling off the Neverhood. However, if the Good Ending is chosen, Hoborg brings them back.

During Skullmonkeys[]

Willie Trombone is seen enjoying a Chip Butty with Klaymen. After the end of the game when Evil Engine Number 9 falls apart, Willie eats it in a similar manner to when he ate the Weasel arm in The Neverhood.
