From collider.com:
Another clip features Tyler's character, Nim Galuu, the Keeper of the Scrolls. He's essentially an archivist who keeps a history of everything that goes on in the world, which is written within the rings of a tree. As Wedge said, "[Tyler brought] not a lot of acting, but a lot of himself." Mub and Grub get up to more antics here, some of which were seen in the most recent trailer.
