- Miserable Mattress

Miserable Mattress is the main antagonist of Juniper Jungle in both the books and television series.

He was a grumpy, bad tempered mouldy old mattress who lived in the dark desolate Swampland and led a gang of thieves called the Nasties.

Appearance
Miserable is a large grey mattress with arms and legs which is his whole face and has a thug like appearance. He has a 3 o'clock beard and wears white socks and large black boots. he also has a criss-cross plaster on the side of his face.

History
Not much is known about Miserable except that he was possibly an old mattress that was abandoned in Swampland judging by his dishevelled and grotesque appearance.

He is also said to had a relationship with a Juniper Jungle resident named Vera Vulture, but she left making him even more miserable, especially when she married someone else.

He led a gang of criminals and thieves consisting of Terrible Tyre, Scruffy the Rat, Menacing and Morris the twin ravens and Fearless Fluff calling themselves the Nasties.

Miserable led them to do all sorts of horrible things including stealing buns from the Bun Bank, cheating in a Car Race and even kidnapping Sunday Reindeer so that Christmas, but his evil schemes always backfire mostly by his gang's incompetence.

On one occasion, he actually pretended to reform, but it was all a trick to rob the residents of Juniper Jungle and eventually he was found out.

Personality
Miserable is exactly like his name and delights in the residents of Juniper Jungle being as miserable as him.

He is spiteful, conniving and bad tempered. He seems to care about his gang members even though he insults them for their stupidity or when his plans fail.
