However, before the wolves manage to get to him, they are chased away by the approaching Hemulen with his horn. Upon the realization of this, Sorry-oo regrets staying up every night instead of staying back home sleeping. This night they approach him, but to Sorry-oo's dismay they reveal themselves to be bloodthirsty beasts out to eat him. The same night the Hemulen departs from the Moominvalley, Sorry-oo goes to the Lonely Mountains seeking the wolves he admires so much. The winterloving Hemulen tries to make friends with Sorry-oo, who shows little interest and shies away. Because he's awake all night, he spends the days sleeping in the bath house's closet.

In Moominland Midwinter, he goes out every night to howl at the moon and dream of his bigger stronger wolf "brothers", whom he admires very much and wishes to one day join their pack. He is portrayed as rather shy and timid, often being distant or mumbling. Sorry-oo (Swedish: Ynk) is a small dog character appearing in the Moomin comic strips, Moominland Midwinter, The Dangerous Journey and Moomins on the Riviera.
