The character often mistaken for or referred to as the grasshopper in Pinocchio is Jiminy Cricket.
Jiminy Cricket: Pinocchio's Conscience
While he is a cricket, Jiminy Cricket is sometimes called a "grasshopper" or even a "beetle" by other characters, notably Lampwick. He serves as Pinocchio's conscience, guiding the wooden puppet through various challenges on his journey to become a real boy.
Jiminy Cricket possesses several distinct characteristics and abilities that aid him in his role:
- Knowledge: He demonstrates a strong understanding of morality and provides wise counsel.
- Hopping: As a cricket, hopping is his primary means of movement.
- Signature Item: He typically carries an umbrella, which he uses both as a prop and, at times, as a tool.
He has a strong aversion to loud noises, people doing wrong things, and dangerous situations. Jiminy Cricket also notably dislikes it when Pinocchio lies.
