Manarin explained that Loki has a unique character—and a lot of it, in fact. They often exchange gifts and Loki is very fond of puzzle games. Above all, the raven is a bit of a mischief-maker as he likes to undo people’s shoelaces in hopes of causing them to trip and whatnot.

Moreover, Loki’s a bit of a thief. He’s known to steal everything from money to food—if it can fit into his beak, it’s his for the taking. Also, Loki is a smart little critter and he will trade in what he stole for a treat.

What is most interesting is that each stolen item has a unique “buy-back” price. For example, a cleaning sponge is worth 3 grapes, while a padlock is worth a chocolate biscuit. So it seems that Elliot has to have all of those things around in order to buy back the things Loki steals on the regular.
