Origin[]
The Snergs are a race of small, stout, and friendly creatures, somewhat similar to humans but much shorter, around the size of a child. They are known for their good-natured, simple, and somewhat mischievous behavior. Snergs live in a peaceful, isolated community called the Land of the Snergs, which is surrounded by forests and mountains.
Though generally carefree and jovial, the Snergs are capable of bravery and resourcefulness when necessary, particularly in times of danger. Their adventures often involve interactions with humans and other fantastical creatures. One notable Snerg in the story is Gorbo, a central character who, despite his bumbling and clumsy nature, plays a significant role in helping the protagonists.
