Mooncrusher is a male yeti who is the groundskeeper for the Kahn Menagerie.
Appearance[]
Mooncrusher is described as at least eleven feet tall with shaggy white fur, stained with dirt and smudged with grass, particularly around the knees and paws. He wears a pair of enormous, dark sunglasses and a "safari-type sun hat" on his head. He has a furry face, and his wide mouth looks like a Muppet's.[1]
Personality[]
Mooncrusher is shown to be creative and practical, as seen when he knits blankets out of his own shed hair[2], both for fun and to keep his hut clean, and he also carves ice sculptures. He is also helpful, as seen when he helps around the Menagerie.[3]
Biography[]
The Menagerie[]
Mooncrusher is first mentioned when Logan, Matthew, and Zoe visit the Aviary. Upon Zoe asking Pelly how she was doing, the goose replies that she was sleeping badly and that having another yeti-fur blanket would make her nest "at least bearably comfortable."[4] Zoe promises to talk to Mooncrusher about getting more fur, but says that it may take a while.
After exiting the Aviary, a golf cart approaches Logan and the Kahns. The driver of the cart is Mooncrusher. Mr. Kahn asks him how the rosebushes are and mentions a hole by the cellar door that needs to be filled, followed by Zoe reminding him about Captain Fuzzbutt needing his exercise.[5]
