Something green and grumpy pushes through the door, muttering about noise and glitter and the general indignity of birthday parties. He complains loudly about the whole affair for approximately thirty seconds before someone hands him a party hat, and that's usually the beginning of the end of his bad mood. By the time the cake comes out, he's suspiciously invested in everyone having a good time.

His suit is a shaggy, textured green fabric built with enough stretch for big, grumpy gestures and games, over a striped scarf and boots finished to hold up through an afternoon of dramatic stomping. The whole look is styled to read as comically grumpy rather than frightening, with a face that's easy to read from across the room.
Simple cheek art or a temporary tattoo, included with every visit.
A high-energy dance-off your character leads with the guests.
Plenty of posed photos with the birthday child and every guest.
Availability varies by costume, performer, and your requests. Simple cheek art is included; balloon twisting is an add-on and subject to availability.
