Mr. Huggles

Mr Huggles the dormouse is Will Vandom's pet in the W.I.T.C.H comic.

Comic Series

In the second issue, The Twelve Portals, Will recues the dormouse from Uriah and his gang, who are bullying it. She meets Matt, who gives her some advice on how to care for him and reassures her that they are "made for one another" even though Will is worried she won't know how to look after him properly.

Will doesn't name the dormouse, simply referring to him as "Dormouse".

Dormouse remains a faithful pet to Will, often consoling her in times of crisis and sadness. Even though he is naughty, eating papers and an entire jar full of cookies, he is a loyal companion.

He is often startled and confused by magical events that occur around Will, such as her transforming into a Guardian and seeing her and her astral drop in the same room together.

In issue 8, The Black Roses of Meridian, Dormouse accompanies Will on her adventure to Meridian. She aids her in a battle against Cedric by biting his tail.

Sadly, in issue 26, Blackmail, Dormouse is accidentally hit by a car. Will rushes him to Mr Olsen, Matt's grandfather, but he is put to sleep. Matt consoles her for her loss afterwards and kisses her on the cheek.

In the animated series, Doormouse is named Mr Huggles and instead of being Will's companion, he is the mischief-maker who is eventually turned into Khor by Nerissa.

Matt gifts him to Will, but she is unable to keep him. Mr Huggles is then passed from Will to Irma to Hay lin (he escapes into the Silver Dragon) to Taranee (her father is allergic to fur) to Cornelia (Lillian lets him out with Napoleon) to Elyon and eventually back to Matt.

Mr Huggles is turned into Khor, the Destroyer by Nerissa. In theKnights of Destruction's final battle against the Guardians he is freed from Nerissa's control and reverts to his original dormouse form.
