The Snufflelump is a friendly inqusitive mammal from the planet Lumpet. Its most obvious attribute is its remarkable snout! It is used to sniff out, and indeed snuff out, the insects known as Sniffets' which is its main food source. It has a very powerful sense of smell and can detect the Sniffets* from more than 2 (Earth) miles away. It uses its snout to create an air tight seal over the entrance to the Sniffets home and then sucks out the hapless Sniffets! A Snufflelump has suction power much more powerful that even the best vacuum cleaners on Earth.

The Snufflelump has 4 small legs and so rarely reaches speeds of greater than 2 miles an Earth hour, but then it prefers to leasurely walk around taking the time to sniff the flowers. It has large eyes which allows it to see the sniffets and there often concealed home entrance. It has a striped band around its middle which makes it quite fashionable amongst the animals on Lumpet. The female Snufflelump is more inteligent than the male enabling it to be better at the game of Hide and Seek (a Snufflelumps favourite pastime).
