Erkkis

Erkkis is a fictional character from the children's book series "Moomins" created by Finnish author Tove Jansson. Erkkis is a small, timid creature who lives in Moominvalley, the home of the Moomins. He is often depicted as being easily frightened and prone to worrying, but he also possesses a kind heart and a strong sense of loyalty to his friends.

Erkkis first appeared in the book "The Exploits of Moominpappa" and has since featured in several other Moomin stories. He is a recurring character, often found interacting with Moomintroll and his family. Erkkis's diminutive size and nervous disposition make him a contrasting figure to the larger, more adventurous Moomins, but his presence adds a unique dynamic to the stories.

Despite his anxieties, Erkkis often finds himself drawn into the Moomins' adventures, usually out of a desire to help or protect his friends. He has a particular fondness for collecting shiny objects and can often be seen searching for treasures around Moominvalley. His gentle nature and genuine concern for others make him a beloved character among Moomin fans.
