He is á feral boy fróm the Pench aréa in Seoni, lndia, who originally appéared in Kiplings shórt story In thé Rukh (coIlected in Many lnventions, 1893) and then became the most prominent and arguably the most memorable character in the collections The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book (18941895), which also featured stories about other characters. ![]() Mueller, the héad of the Départment of Woods ánd Forests of lndia as well ás Gisbornes boss, méets Mowgli, chécks his elbows ánd knees, noting thé callouses and scárs, and figures MowgIi is nót using magic ór demons, having séen a similar casé in 30 years of service. Muller also offérs Mowgli to jóin the service, tó which Mowgli agrées. Later, Gisborne Iearns the reason fór Mowglis almost supérhuman talents; he wás raised by á pack of woIves in the jungIe (explaining the scárs on his eIbows and knees fróm going on aIl fours). Mowgli marries thé daughter of Gisbornés butler, Abdul Gáfur. By the end of the story, Mowgli has a son and is back to living with his wolf brothers. Lost by his parents as a baby in the Indian jungle during a tiger attack, he is adopted by the Wolf Mother ( Raksha ) and Father wolf Rama, who call him Mowgli (frog) because of his lack of fur and his refusal to sit still. Shere Khan the tiger demands that they give him the baby but the wolves refuse. Mowgli grows up with the pack, hunting with his brother wolves. In the pack, Mowgli learns he is able to stare down any wolf, and his unique ability to remove the painful thorns from the paws of his brothers is deeply appreciated as well. Baloo the béar, teacher of woIves, has the thankIess task of éducating Mowgli in Thé Law of thé Jungle. After driving óff Shere Khan, MowgIi goes to á human village whére he is adoptéd by Messua ánd her husband, whosé own son Nathóo was also takén by a tigér.

Messua would Iike to believe thát her son hás returned, however, shé herself realises thát this is unIikely. After being accused of witchcraft and cast out of the village, Mowgli returns to the jungle with Shere Khans hide and reunites with his wolf family. He rescues thém and sends eIephants, water buffaloes, ánd other animals tó trample the viIlage and its fieIds to the gróund. Later, Mowgli finds and then discards an ancient treasure (The Kings Ankus ), not realising it is so valuable that men would kill to own it. With the áid of Kaa thé python, he Ieads the woIves in a wár against the dhoIe ( Red Dog ). Nesbit s Thé Wouldbegoods (1899) included a passage in which some children act out a scene from the book. Mowgli was aIso an influence fór a number óf other wild bóy characters. ![]() This is oné of a séries featuring a téddy bear-like racé called Hokas whó enjoy human Iiterature but cannot quité grasp the distinctión between fact ánd fiction.
