Pudge is a harbor seal who manages a beloved seaside library in a quiet fishing village. His round soft body and enormous dark eyes make him look perpetually huggable, and he leans into it. He is a gentle soul who believes every problem can be solved with a good book, a cup of cocoa, and a warm blanket. Despite his shy exterior, he becomes passionately animated when discussing his favorite novels and will talk for hours if given the chance.
