klonatulle

Klonatulle is a fictional character from the French animated television series *Les Schtroumpfs* (The Smurfs), created by Peyo (Pierre Culliford). Introduced in the 1980s, Klonatulle is a unique variant of the Smurf species, distinguished by his pale blue skin, elongated limbs, and an overall emaciated appearance. Unlike the typical robust Smurfs, Klonatulle possesses an unusually tall and slender physique, which sets him apart from his kin.

The character’s name is a combination of the French words *clone* (clone) and *Tulle*, a reference to the town of Tulle in France, where the series was originally set. Klonatulle’s origins are tied to an experiment conducted by Gargamel, the Smurfs’ recurring antagonist, who sought to create a new type of Smurf through genetic manipulation. However, the process went awry, resulting in Klonatulle’s unusual traits. He was later adopted by the Smurf village, where he became a beloved but somewhat eccentric member.

Klonatulle’s personality is marked by a mix of naivety and kindness, often speaking in a high-pitched, childlike voice. He is depicted as gentle and curious, though his physical appearance sometimes leads to misunderstandings or teasing from other Smurfs. Despite his differences, he plays a supportive role in the community, contributing to the series’ themes of acceptance and unity.

Klonatulle’s design and role have made him a memorable figure in the *Smurfs* franchise, appearing in various adaptations, including animated films and video games. His character highlights the series’ exploration of individuality within a close-knit group, reinforcing the idea that diversity among friends strengthens their bond.
