Plumpy is a character in the Candy Land Universe and a major figure of the Candy Land board game series. His associated location is the Gingerbread Plum Trees.
History
Plumpy is described as "The Last of the Plumpa Trolls," the only living member of his species. It is unknown what tragedy caused the others to disappear. His job in Candy Land is "Caretaker of the Gingerbread Plum Trees." It is his duty to collect the ripe plums as they fall from the trees. When King Kandy was kidnapped by Lord Licorice, Plumpy developed a problem with stress-related binge eating in response.[1][2][3][4]
Notes
- Plumpy's gender pronouns are established as He/Him in his debut appearance.[1]
- Plump was removed from the franchise following his appearance in the 1999 version for unknown reasons. The 2002 version replaces Plumpy with Mama Gingertree.
- Plumpy appears to be at least partially inspired by The Lorax, a character created by Dr. Seuss. Both characters share visual similarities, a connection to trees, and are the last of their kind.
