The iconic clay stop-motion character Morph has been spotted roaming the streets of Kilkenny City, with his official X account confirming his visit by sharing a photo of him outside Kilkenny Castle.

Created by Aardman Animations, Morph made his debut alongside Tony Hart on Take Hart and quickly became a household television favourite with his mischievous antics and wordless charm.

A pioneer of stop-motion animation, Morph helped establish Aardman’s reputation long before they created global hits like Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep.
