Krumpflings are little furry creatures that live in the cellars of
old human houses and build their dens of old junk they find
there. They siphon off the swear words used by the humans
through the water pipes, and the bad words are ground and
brewed into a yummy "Krumpf tea". A Krumpfling would do
anything for a cup of Krumpf tea – even little Egon, who
otherwise does not quite take after the others. Whereas a
sensible Krumpfling has few feelings other than
schadenfreude, anger and spite, Egon has got a good heart.
Granny Krumpfling, the oldest in the clan, does all she can to
make Egon into a "decent" member of the family, but Egon
rarely manages to be really nasty. When grumpy old Grandpa
Artich, who has hitherto generously supplied the clan with
swear words, moves out of the Flossmann villa, Egon gets a
chance to prove himself.
