Blob Men

Blob Men are the Witch of the Waste's henchmen in the film, Howl's Moving Castle. They are artificial beings created by magic.

Background
They were created by the Witch of the Waste to do her bidding. Blob men can only be seen by witches and humans who wield magical powers.

Appearance
Blob men are black and they can change their look. Most of the time they have human appearance with arms, legs and clothing. Still they look strange by dot eyes, big nose, missing fingers and missing toes.

They can change their shape to fit in small objects and gaps. However they have no advantage doing so, because they can walk through walls.

Storage
The Witch keeps her blob men in a tiny teapot. She gives commands by knocking her cane on the ground. The blob men scout the area for her and carry her palanquin.
