Skipper / Magnus is a mole and one of the two main protagonists of the series. He is brave and adventurous but his biggest shortcoming is that he acts before he thinks, which can get him into trouble. Skipper is curious and likes to discover the nature of the objects in his environment. He moved to Paradise Park after he lost his home and family to an earthquake when he was younger. Now he lives in a treehouse. Skipper is friendly and will help others while forgetting about himself, but at the same time he is gullible. Skipper cannot read, but he admires those who can. When Skipper falls ill, he whines a lot.
