Malky

Malky is a big, lovable giant mountain monster who lives on top of Ben Malky, the summit near the town of Shoogulaboot.

Malky is a legend in Shoogulaboot, known only through whispers and historical accounts of a large, grey, hairy man who haunts the mountains.

In reality, he is just a big galoot who is all too happy to experience something he has never really had: company.

Although Malky is friendly and kind, he has experienced loneliness for generations, having been seen as someone to be feared. So, when Malky meets Sandy and Willow, he is more than delighted to have new friends and finally gain what he has always wanted: acceptance.

Malky, although friendly and silly, is very strong. He can lift huge weights and throw them incredible distances, which could come in handy in multiple storylines.

Malky is inspired by the real legend of Am Fear Liath Mòr, meaning “Big Grey Man”, a cryptid said to live on the summit of Ben Macdui.
