Dufflepud

Dufflepud (also known as Duffer or Monopod) is the general name used to refer to the servants of the magician Coriakin. The duffers live together in a community on an island, serving Coriakin and working under command of the Chief Duffer. They believed Coriakin to be a tyrant, when in fact he tried to educate the Dufflepuds, and helped them survive.

History
The duffers worked for Coriakin for many generations; how many is not known. Their constant foolishness led them to rebel against him for trying to help them. As punishment, they were made into monopods. Later, however, they grew to hate their new appearance so deeply that they used Coriakin's magic to make themselves invisible. In 2303 NY, they kidnapped a party of Narnian visitors, and forced Queen Lucy of Narnia to undo the invisiblity spell, which they had come to dislike. At that time it was declared by Aslan that they were not yet ready to see him. It is possible that they eventually were ready and were able to meet with him.

Character
The duffers are loyal to one another, and especially to their leader, whom they believe without question and fawn over in constant agreement. They are, however, suspicious of magic or change. They are known to be cowardly, though they like to boss and threaten when given the chance. Their most notable trait, however, is their constant foolishness, their behavior displaying their true, innate stupidity. In spite of all this, they are fairly good-natured people.

Appearance
They were formerly common dwarfs called Duffers, and were said to be rather ugly creatures. They were later transformed into Monopods by Coriakin as punishment for disobedience. In this form, they each had only one leg, and a huge foot the size of a small coracle. After becoming monopods they turned themselves invisible for a time before finally returning to their Monopod appearance and staying that way.

The name Dufflepud is a garbled combination of Duffer and Monopod. Not being able to pronounce words properly, they also called themselves Money-puds, Pomonods, and Poddymons, before settling on Dufflepuds. A Dufflepud's single foot is so large it can be used as an umbrella when he is on his back, or can be used as a canoe if the Dufflepud goes on water.
