Marsh-wiggle

The Marsh-wiggles were a race of frog-like humanoids that inhabited the marshlands near the River Shribble in the northern parts of the World of Narnia. They had green-grey straw-like heir, large ears, long legs and arms, and frog like webbed hands and feet. Some such as Puddleglum also had a muddy complexion. They generally had a pessimistic view on life. They lived in small structures called Wigwams. Marsh-wiggles liked their privacy, so their wigwams were spread far apart from each other. They ate things like eel stew, eel pie, and fricasseed frogs and they considered their food poisonous for humans, though it really was not poisonous at all. They smoked a stange short of heavy tobacco, said by some to be mixed with mud. They smoked out of pipes, the smoke from their pipe did not rise in the air but trickled out of the bowl and downwards difting along the ground like a mist. Marsh-wiggles did most of the watery and fishy kind of work in Narnia, such as docking ships at Cair Paravel, and ferrying people across rivers. The Owls considered them the only people that could help Jill Pole and Eustace Scrubb reach the Ruined City of the Giants.
