Mr. Bumpy is a small green monster with black hair, purple spots, red snail-like eyes, and a bulbous nose who lives under a ten-year-old boy's bed, eating dirty socks and dust bunnies. His friends include Squishington, an anxious blue monster from the toilet cistern, and Molly Coddle, a Frankenstein-like rag doll.
