Pypar is small and has large ears[2] which he can wiggle.[3] He claims to be able to identify a person's origin by their accent.[4] Pyp can imitate a hundred different voices and loves to act.[4] He enjoys teasing his friend, Grenn.[5] Samwell Tarly thinks Pyp has stupid japes.[6]
History
Before coming to the Wall, Pypar had traveled the Seven Kingdoms with a mummers' troupe.[4]
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Pypar joins the Night's Watch at the same time as Jon Snow. During sword practice, Jon thinks Pyp uses his sword like a dagger.[7] He befriends Jon and helps defend Samwell Tarly when he arrives at the Wall.[4]
Pyp is named to the rangers when Ser Alliser Thorne believes him ready to man the Wall,[8] and he informs Jon that King Robert I Baratheon has died.[9] Pyp is among the group of friends who stop Jon from abandoning the Night's Watch and forswearing himself.[10]
A Clash of Kings
Pyp remains at Castle Black during the great ranging. Before Grenn leaves with the ranging, Halder and Pypar bring him to Mole's Town.[11]
A Storm of Swords
Pyp is one of the many fighters atop the Wall when Mance Rayder's army assaults the Watch in the Battle of Castle Black. He retches when he sees the bodies of Donal Noye and Mag Mar Tun Doh Weg.[12] Pyp refers to arrows shot by wildlings as "breakfast arrows", and he names straw scarecrows after members of the Night's Watch. Jon tasks Pyp with commanding the Wall when he descends to Castle Black at one point during the siege.[13]
A Feast for Crows
Pypar becomes resentful towards Jon, the new Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, because Jon turns distant, avoiding the friends who aided his rise to power.[3]
A Dance with Dragons
When Pypar makes jests about the rituals of R'hllor, Jon orders him to stop and is grateful none of the queen's men heard the japes. Jon sends Pyp to serve at Eastwatch-by-the-Sea.[14]
Quotes by Pypar
Samwell: I ... if you want, you can call me Sam. My mother calls me Sam.
Pypar: You can call him Lord Snow. You don't want to know what his mother calls him.
Grenn: You're uglier than me. At least I don't have ears like a bat.[4]
Jon: These two are Grenn and Pypar.
Pypar: Grenn's the ugly one.

Quotes about Pypar
- thoughts of Jon Snow
They will call you men of Night's Watch now, but you are bigger fools than the Mummer's Monkey here if you believe that. You are boys still, green and stinking of summer, and when the winter comes you will die like flies.[1]
