Clanger

A Clanger is mouse-like character that lives on a small blue planet ,this planet is set on a dustbin.A Clanger is pink and its material is made of sowed-cotton Clangers contain copper armour around their waist.The armour would keep them away from the soup dragon,a creature with a penchant for a green soup on the planet.

A clanger attracts a child's attention mainly because of its voice,instead of human voices,the producer(Oliver Postgate) added whistles,also it maybe attracted by its color,pink.A Clanger is also described as an anteater mainly because of its big nose,this maybe another effect on children of its era.
