He is not shy about catching a ride on a ship he admires. If it is a fishing boat giving him a fine ride, he may help to whistle at the fish alongside to help the fishermen. Or he may just call the dolphins to come put on a show, which is something they dearly love to do.

Puck

Puck is a mischief-maker. He loves to play small pranks on people. The well-established joke of a penny glued to the sidewalk is one of his.
