Riko Eklundh Eero Ahre Jyrki Kovaleff (Comet in Moominland) Jukka Nylund (2017 dubbing) Ilpo Mikkonen (Moomins and the Comet Chase) Sniff (Swedish: Sniff) is a character in the Moomin stories created by Tove Jansson.

Tove Jansson's own early notes describes him as "cowardly, egoistic, puberty",[a] but from being self-absorbed, ostentatious and acquisitive, he becomes anxious, wanting to be heard and seen, whining and impatient, like a worried child, childishly fond of gold and pretty stones.

However, In the comics and for example in the animated TV series Moomin Sniff is tall and relatively large compared to many of the other characters.

In the animations he is portrayed as brown or grey, but in the colour pictures made by Tove Jansson he is always white (although sometimes, when feeling ill, he turns slightly green).

[9] In the books Sniff often spends the night in the Moominhouse, but he lives in a dwelling built into a rock outcrop near the forest.
