Snort

Snort the Reindeer is one of the older and wiser animal characters. He is described as being middle-aged or slightly older, and is an exclusively male character.

In personality, Snort is written to be of the "take-charge" type of mentality, and generally prefers a controlled, quiet, peaceful environment. This sometimes puts him at odds with the two young wolves Alf and Roo, who like nothing better than to cause playful mayhem and generally be noisy and excitable. He is the first character we see, and is sort of the unofficial ringleader of the animals, whom they all consult for advice. Snort is also the one who does most of the organizing when it comes time for the Christmas celebration.

Snort's costume is usually very simple browns and blacks. His horns can be done with either a headband or a ball cap with cardboard horns attached to it, but should not be attached very tightly because it's an integral part of the script that they sometimes fall off. He should have black socks and mittens for hooves, and a brown suit. It is suggested he wear a natural beard, if possible.

Trivia

 * In the original story, Snort's name was Shusha. He was also ancient, arthritic, and just about as crochety as Mr. Grumble.
 * While we don't know for sure about any of the other animals, we can definitely say that Snort was not captive-born or zoo-born, as he talks about the days when he used to be in a herd. It's this outside experience that leads the others to trust him in matters regarding humans.
