Knurv is a wooden doll, but has a real soul and feelings. His shyness does not interfere with his curiosity, because he always wants to be the first person to meet a new one on the island. He speaks very, very quietly, which is a big disadvantage in communicating with him, because he speaks in long and connected sentences, cannot answer briefly. He can pull his eyes out of his eyelids. When he does it, it makes a sound like a violin, but sometimes he uses it to keep an eye on others.
