The Scarecrow appears as a straw-filled figure with padded hands and a clumsy way of handling nuts. Cautious around fire, it fears that sparks might catch its stuffing, yet it joins the Lion in crossing a gulf. When the raft is swept away in the river, the Scarecrow is left clinging to a pole, its awkward vulnerability setting it apart from the more forceful creatures around it.

Description

The Scarecrow has a humanoid shape and a soft, uneven build from being stuffed with straw. Its hands are padded, giving them a blunt, mitten-like appearance, and its movements seem clumsy rather than precise. The text gives no specific coloring, facial details, hairstyle, or clothing, so its most distinctive visual quality is its loosely filled, handmade form. It carries a cautious, vulnerable presence.
