Sniff (Sniff, Nipsu)
Sniff is probably Moomins 3rd or 4th best friend (between him and Little My!).
He looks very much like a Kangaroo or even a very large mouse- I'm not sure how this relates to Tove's life in Finland!
In this image, from the puppet series, he is grey but he becomes brown in later animations.
He is the coward of the group, often electing to stay home and look after the house. Occasionally he is the voice of reason trying to save his friends from themselves- but they rarely listen to him.
Sniff can find courage if there is a treasure to be found or gold to be had. He cares more for the finer things in life then the rest of the inhabitants of Moomin Valley.
