As much as I kind of resent the 90s series for exaggerating/over-adding Sniff's cowardice for most of his appearances, I think this scene in the Comet in Moominland movie is so fascinating to me within the context of his character in the adaptation.
The absolute gall he suddenly develops in this garnet pit is astounding. He bears his teeth at a monster for the first time. He isn't afraid of this thing, he's more concerned about getting out of the pit with his precious gems. He's angry and determined to leave this place with something valuable. He argues with his friends over leaving the garnets because to him it is more important that he leaves with them than if he even survives this encounter. (To him,) his friends aren't helping at all, they're just telling him to do the exact opposite of what he really wants while standing up there doing nothing, he sasses Little My herself for not helping.
Sniff's seemingly endless determination and desperation to get what he wants even in the face of danger and hopelessness is one of the core traits of his character that is severely understated. It could be characterized either as a self-destructive greed or an unrivaled determination and optimism to achieve his goal in life, perhaps even both at the same time. He just has to keep his gems, otherwise what's even the point?
What's even the point.
