The Groke of Moomin fame is an example of a “baddie” that just needs a hug (or friends, to be precise). I love that it’s part of childhood lore around here.

Interpretation
A misunderstood creature condemned to be alone by her emanating coldness, she is a live representation of loneliness, as well as a psychological depiction of very lonely people who have a hard time accepting and expressing love in the right way, making them seem cold and scary to others, which, in turn, only leads to more loneliness.
