In cartoons in which they appear with humans, they are small enough to stand on a human hand. Most Smurfs are male. There are only 3 females in the village: Smurfette, Sassette Smurfling, and Nanny Smurf. Most Smurfs wear white pants and white Phrygian caps. Papa Smurf, Grandpa Smurf, and some of the Smurflings dress differently. Grandpa Smurf wears yellow clothes and Papa Smurf wears red clothes. The Smurflings are Sassette, Snappy, Slouchy, and Nat. Sassette and Nat do not dress like the other Smurfs at all, while Slouchy and Nat do dress like the others. In some comics, the Smurfs dress differently in color or clothing. Smurfs live in mushroom-shaped houses in a village in a forest. ==Characters== * '''[[Smurfette]]''', one of the female Smurfs * '''Papa Smurf''', the village leader * '''Brainy Smurf''', an intellectual show-
