“Hattifatteners,” repeated Hodgkins. “They just travel and travel . . . No peace, no rest” 

(The Exploits of Moominpappa, 1950)  

A Hattifattener is never alone—it is always a part of a large group. The Hattifatteners grow from little white seeds if sown on Midsummer’s Eve. The Hattifatteners look like slim, grey-white mushrooms with little paws. The Hattifatteners might be the most mysterious creatures of Moominvalley, because they do not talk or hear—yet everyone there seems to be curious about their inner lives. A lot remains unknown, but we know at least that the Hattifatteners become charged up with electricity in lightning storms, gather at Lonely Island every June for a yearly meeting, and always keep moving towards something in their boat. The Hattifatteners have a lot in common with Moominpappa, because they also are restless souls with diverse destinations. 

The real-life hattifatteners are wanderers who hardly ever tell anyone anything about themselves. They want to live in peace in a like-minded group, and their mission is to go towards something that others could never understand. The hattifatteners are also very humble—they do not want anything from anyone and thrive on the road.
