List of Fraggle Rock characters
They live in a network of caves called Fraggle Rock, populated by a variety of creatures, and seeming to connect to at least two different worlds in separate dimensions of time and space.
[1] He plays a guitar (made from a gourd) and often goes on trips to explore the lesser-known tunnels of Fraggle Rock, apparently more out of a sense of obligation to, and admiration for, his Uncle Traveling Matt than from personal inclination, but he nevertheless enjoys these adventures.
During the Outer Space segments, Gobo is operated by Mike Quinn with Jerry Nelson still performing his voice.
In one episode, Mokey proved herself worthy of joining Cantus and his minstrels, but ultimately chose to remain with her friends.
She was designed by Michael K. Frith, the husband of Mokey's performer Kathryn Mullen, and built by Jan Rosenthal.
He often appears nervous and pathologically indecisive (mostly because he doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings; saying "yes" to someone means saying "no" to someone else), but he is undeniably one of, if not the, kindest, friendliest character in the series.
[2] In fact, "to wemble" is a Fraggle verb meaning "to be indecisive"[citation needed] (though the episode "The Secret of Convincing John" points out that to not be able to choose, one must first understand ALL the possibilities, suggesting an "up" side to the condition).
When not doing the laundry, Boober is an avid reader, likes to share his talent as a chef, and with his knack for harmonica, has a penchant for singing and playing the blues.
Boober is greenish-blue (befitting his personality) with reddish-orange hair, and always wears a red hat and brown scarf.
He is the only primary Fraggle whose eyes remain invisible, and he prefers to live on his own, although he is close friends with Red and Wembley.
While on the surface, she tends to be competitive, stubborn, arrogant, and rather insensitive, on the inside, Red has proven to be one of the friendliest of Fraggles, perhaps second only to Wembley.
Mo Rocca described her on VH1's I Love the 80s: Strikes Back as the "buck the establishment Fraggle" (comparable[citation needed] to Peppermint Patty of the Peanuts Gang).
Within Fraggle Rock lives a second species of small humanoid creatures, the pudgy, green, ant-like Doozers.
Standing only 6 inches (0.50 ft) tall (knee-high to a Fraggle), Doozers in a sense represent anti-Fraggles; their lives are dedicated to work and industry.
To ensure that they always have a steady stream of work to do, Doozers build their constructions out of an edible candy-like substance (manufactured from radishes) which is greatly enjoyed by Fraggles.
This symbiosis becomes integral to the episode "The Preachification of Convincing John" where Mokey calls upon the Fraggles to stop eating the Doozers' constructions—because they spend so much time making them.
After running out of space, the Doozers finally decide to move on to a new area because the Fraggles won't eat their constructions, and there is even a tragic scene with a mother explaining to her daughter that Doozers must build or they will die, and so they must find a new place to live where they can build and hopefully find Fraggles who will eat their constructions.
Overhearing this, Mokey realizes that she has inadvertently disrupted a vital symbiotic relationship through ignorant good intentions.
As a result, Mokey frantically rescinds her prohibition and encourages the Fraggles to gorge on the structures – just in time to persuade the Doozers to stay.
On the outside of another exit from Fraggle Rock through a well live a family of Gorgs, giant furry humanoids standing 180 inches (15 ft) tall.
The Gorgs consider themselves to be the King and Queen of the Universe, but to all appearances, seem to be working as simple farmers, with a hut and garden patch.
In one of the final episodes, all leaves suddenly drop from The Nirvana Tree in the Gorg's Garden, which is the traditional sign that the reigning King must abdicate his throne and allow the crown prince to succeed.
As King, his first act is to abolish the Gorg monarchy, introducing a Fraggle-like society where all creatures are socially equal.
The puppet's head was separate from the body, and on-set, Richard Hunt would insert his hand into a waldo to move Junior's mouth (and provide his voice) while using a device to control his eyes.
The character has a popular aftermath in the German version of the serial where Marjory is named Allwissende Müllhalde (engl.
Philo and Gunge (performed by Dave Goelz and Richard Hunt in the live-action series, Dan Garza and John Tartaglia in Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock and voiced by John Stephenson and Bob Bergen in the animated series) are the heralds of the Trash Heap.
