Who is Russian influencer Crawly as his ‘Tiny Green Mall Wizard’ video trend goes viral on TikTok
Known as “Crawly” on TikTok, the minuscule wizard is a young man who references his older videos where he performed his characteristic crawl in public spaces like malls, inviting others to join.
In late June 2024, Crawly enhanced his act with a comical wizard costume, much to the frustration of mall security, whom he refers to as “knights.”
In other videos, the Russian TikTok and Instagram user, Crawly entertains himself by traversing public places with bizarre walks or in costumes like a horned demon on stilts or an escaped hospital patient.
He has even enlisted others to chase him through the mall in these costumes. Crawly also posts videos of himself scooting on a skateboard or literally crawling, sometimes wearing large square delivery app backpacks.
Tiny Green Mall Wizard Trend Explain
As of late June 2024, the tiny green mall wizard is Crawly’s latest creation. The crouching wizard character, paired with jaunty music and sped-up footage, appears like a video game character exploring a real-world setting.
Often cranky, the wizard shakes his pink net wand at security personnel and others who interfere with his explorations, sometimes jumping up and down in frustration.

X/Twitter users began sharing footage of the tiny green mall wizard on the same day as the first video’s release.
As the character gained popularity on TikTok, fan art began appearing on various social media channels, including retro video game-style art depicting the wizard facing off against mall security.
