Trufflehunter agrees with Caspian that the essential conflict lies between good and evil, not one species versus another. Those who are abusive, violent, and selfish demonstrate their evil inclinations, while anyone who has faith in Aslan, who wants to see the Old Narnians returned to their rightful places, and who will sacrifice their own self-interest for the greater good, is good. Caspian clearly belongs in the latter group, and Aslan wants, as Trufflehunter points out, a human to rule over and guide Narnia’s creatures. Nikabrik’s antagonism toward mixed-race Dwarf-Telmarines suggests that he has other motives than the restoration of Narnia as a whole.
