This is Major Clanger, the head of the family. He is called Major because he is the largest and the oldest and most important of the Clangers. His coat is made of beaten brass like armour but he does not fight. His armour is to protect him from things that fall from the sky.
	Mother Clanger looks after them all. She is kind and loving like all mothers but is sometimes worried and cross when the small Clangers misbehave.
Granny Clanger lives a quiet life in her little cave. She likes to collect the silver threads of frost that catch on the edges of the craters and knit them into tinsel string.
