I'm working on an alternative reality story and world based on the Moomin series by Tove Jansson, especially Moomin TV series and the Moomin movie "Muumipeikko ja Pyrstötähti".Here's Stinky (Haisuli):

”Stinky was affected by the change of Moominvalley and the surrounding world in a way that no one, not even he himself could have imagined. Apparently he had been living most of his life in an environment which wasn't optimal for his species, after all he was the only one of his kind in Moominvalley. Maybe that was the reason he was so ill-behaved, and couldn't fit to the crowd. Where he originally came from, one could only guess.



The risen temperature, maybe also the aridity, caused several reactions in his body. It was like evolution, slowly he became bigger and stronger, his toes and fingers turned into sharp claws, and his body started to produce offspring. They would spawn from his back, under the thick layer of fur they would appear from.



Stinky had always been a trickster, participating in criminal activities and planning for ways of personal gain. A very frightening thought, as if that was still the case, what kind of destruction could a creature, size of a shed, with such an agenda bring?”
