About Rumblebuffin

Rumblebuffin is well-intentioned but not overbright and has a pleasant personality. He is very polite, as shown by his gracious acceptance and use of Lucy's tiny handkerchief. Although he was turned into a statue for his pains, his challenge to the Witch in her own courtyard demonstrated great courage. Though he is not very educated, he is willing to do whatever Aslan asks, and uses his great size to help the Narnian cause.

Appearances

~ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe ~ (1950)

Rumblebuffin is a giant who once attempted to take on the White Witch in her own courtyard. The Witch, of course, turned him to stone with her wand. He stays there as a statue until Aslan breathes on him. After knocking down the wall of the courtyard at Aslan's request, Rumblebuffin accepts Lucy's offer of her handkerchief to mop his brow (though Lucy has a close call when Rumblebuffin almost mistakes her for the handkerchief). He then joins the other liberated Narnians as they follow Aslan to aid Peter and Edmund on the battlefield.
