Mulch Diggums is the tritagonist of the Artemis Fowl book series. He is a dwarf who uses his natural talents to his advantage to steal from people and escape prison. He has played a reluctant part in many of the Artemis Fowl books and has helped Artemis and Holly on several occasions.

## What makes him Magnificent?

* Is incredibly charismatic and able to deceive people.
* Has broken out of prison many times in really clever ways.
* Has many comedic moments from many sources, like his own bodily functions, charisma, and driving people crazy, throughout the series, but doesn't become annoying, making a likable character in several ways from this.
* Was the only fairy to break into Koboi Labs alive.
* Has apparently been declared dead 13 times to throw police officers off his trail, using very unique strategies to do so, while 2 of these are on screen (1 described and 1 shown) there are death certificates on the wall in The Sozzled Parrot, showing proof for this.
* Turned to crime but steals things from peoples houses in spectacular ways.
* Helped Artemis rescue Jay-Jay from his younger self in a really spectacular way.
* Faked his own death during the Fowl Manor Siege so he could steal gold from the ransom fund.
* He used that gold to buy a Penthouse apartment in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles and set himself up as a millionaire named Lance Digger.
* Decided to steal Academy Awards from celebrities around the US and one from Italy as a hobby and got a nickname as The Grouch, giving him a secret identity to make him look even more interesting
* Told the German Shepherds there was a bone in their handlers shirt so he could escape, proving he could think on his feet.
* Told Artemis there were plasma snakes in the plasma conduit at Opal Koboi's Lab just to annoy him.
* Likes driving people crazy, i.e annoying them, which is incredibly comedic to hear happening, as seen with Loafer's McGuire on the way to to Ireland.
* Tricked Pex and Chips into burying him alive by insulting them and making it sound comedic.
* Put on a gangster act really well on the way to the Spiro Needle.
* Escaped a sub-shuttle a few kilometers underwater in a great way to save his friends.
* Stole a diamond ring [going against what Artemis said] from Opal's jewelry and all her chocolate truffles to tick off Opal and trick her into blowing up her own ship, although Artemis told him to, he still did a great job.
* Worked with Holly as a PI to help her after he was set free, giving her information on criminals, and later joined with Do Dah Day later in the book.
* Played the role of a "chocolate fairy" to entertain Bo Paradizo showing another example on how he can think on his feet.
* Saved Butler and Juliet from being mindwiped by flipping the dwarf's gyroship.
* Managed to make his way out of the Amorphobot by confusing it's system with his gas bubbles.
* Begged Turnball Root to give him a description to make him sound cooler.
* Rode a troll just like his ancestors, sounding very cool, to save Holly, Artemis, and Butler from the Berserkers.

## What makes him a Baddie?

* He turned to crime at a young age, breaking and entering people's houses to steal and sell their possessions.
* Is responsible for the Hamburg Affair, or Holly's 2nd worst recon mission after stealing her omnitool her mother gave her.
* Stole a good chunk of the Holly Short Ransom fund to buy a pent house in Beverly Hills and began stealing things in Los Angelous, including an entire collection of Oscars.
* Joined the Chicago mob in order to continue to stay undercover.
* Accidentally and without remorse polluted part of Opal Koboi's titanium pillars when trying to steal an alchemy vat by putting sewage into the shaft the pillar is in and blasting it with explosions.
* Can be considered slightly lethal since he has almost killed several people by putting them in his mouth.
* Stole several of Artemis' possessions including several works of art and his families property after getting tired of being a law abiding citizen.
