The soft yet flexible Ancestor is a good old friend that you love to have around. The Ancestor is a primal Moomin who cannot speak. He is a bit fuzzier and smaller than the Moomins living in the Moominhouse, but his tail is just as long as the tails of the other Moomins. The forefather resides behind the tiled stove in the bathhouse. Filled with fiberfill and bean-like plastic pellets, the plush is movable yet soft and cuddly. As a beanie plush, the Ancestor can sit on the edge of a shelf, watch the room's occupant dyeing, sleep, and play with other toys, but is always ready for play. The toy is just the right size to take on trips, yet big enough to cuddle with.
