He is sometimes naked, and sometimes wearing a tuxedo. An early version of Droop (known as Snivelly) appeared as a Frackle in The Great Santa Claus Switch.

Although Jerry Nelson was Droop's primary performer, there were exceptions: he was performed by Jim Henson in episode 115 and Richard Hunt in episode 220. Frank Oz performed him in a pre-Muppet Show guest appearance on The Dick Cavett Show.
