Mumriks

Mumriks are a species of troll created by Tove Jansson.

Characteristics
Little is known about the Mumriks as a species, though they appear to be rather similar (and possibly closely related) to Mymbles, but are only about roughly half their height. They are similar enough that they are able to produce offspring, an example of this being Snufkin. Mumriks can be distinguished from Mymbles by a darker streak of color running from their forehead to their nose.

Mumriks typically live solitary, nomadic lifestyles where they value freedom and frown upon the limitation of said freedom. These qualities are expressed by both Snufkin and his father, the Joxter.

Trivia

 * "Mumrik" is an unofficial term coined by the fandom, and is derived from Snufkin's Swedish name Snusmumriken. The actual name of this species has never been stated, although one could make the argument that Joxter is its own species as when first introduced in The Exploits of Moominpapa, he is introduced as the Joxter, alike to the Mymble.
