Boris is a young wolf pup covered mainly in black fur apart from some white fur around his face and muzzle. As a wolf, Boris has large ears and a fluffy tail. Boris can usually be found wearing a loose shirt, vest, shorts and his signature bandana. Since Boris is usually the one in possession of The Map he generally carries it in a pocket in his bandana. Notably, although Boris wears clothing, he has an aversion to wearing shoes and will choose to be barefoot whenever possible.
