Alfred secretly works at night shifts to eat insect pests for a living, breaking the Union's night curfew. He is very short compared to the average human, and has a very heavy body, but he has a stout and stocky body, with his legs longer than his hands when transformed. His fingers and toes have flat, shovel-like nails to dig burrows. He has a sensitive nose with the tip is moved by mimetic muscles and is made up of more turbinate bones and olfactory bulbs, with the olfactory lobe of his brain lobe in his brain is highly enhanced. He can eat insects at the long range with his long, proboscis-like tongue. Contrary to many Union citizens' hateful rumors about him, he is actually a good swimmer, and he is not related to pigs although he has long pig-like ears.
