Manny

Manfred ("Manny") is the main protagonist of the Ice Age franchise, voiced by Ray Romano, who develops from a gruff, cynical, and solitary woolly mammoth into a loving, protective family man. Haunted by the loss of his first wife and son to humans, he finds a new herd in Sid and Diego, later marrying Ellie and raising his daughter, Peaches. Here are the key details about Manny: Personality & Traits: Initially portrayed as sour, stubborn, and anti-social, he reveals a caring, heroic, and selfless heart. He is often grumpy, sarcastic, and sensitive about his size, frequently claiming he is not "fat" but just "poofy" due to his thick fur.
