Toft is a small, very shy boy who appears in Moominvalley in November. Toft makes up one of the people visiting the Moomins while they are absent. He is very mysterious and seems to have the power to bring things from his imagination into the real world. He is also able to use Moominpappa's crystal ball. In the original book, Toft is a Whomper, but in the English version of the book, his character was translated into a "boy".
