Introducing Thid and Thid’s Garden
Thid, a universal explorer from Zanthar, had a five-year assignment on Earth studying The Humans. Without a doubt, The Humans are the most fascinating, creative, and bizarre creatures Thid has ever encountered. He’s especially captivated by the countless ways they’ve invented to entertain themselves!
Thid is on a mission to recreate some of his favorite Earth experiences—through sports, playing games, and goofing off. His other great earth discoveries—music, pepperoni pizza, and marijuana—are all central to his ongoing adventures.
Thid will be sharing his love of marijuana with us at ProgStock 2025 in Thid’s Garden, an outdoor space set aside for watching Thid videos, partaking in the herb, and otherwise socializing.
Thid will also be holding a daily “Thid hunt,” where the first person to locate Thid in the theater each day will win a prize.
Learn more about Thid on his YouTube channel and subscribe to stay up-to-date on Thid’s adventures.
