Changes: International Cookie Monster

Revision as of 23:59, 3 June 2021

The many names and voices of Cookie Monster across the globe. Although occasionally Cookie will be given an actual name or nickname, like "Lucas" in Mexico and "Triki" in Spain, his localized name is usually fairly literal translation of "Cookie" (or the local equivalent) and "Monster." His personality is generally consistent, although in Germany, "Krümelmonster," and in the Netherlands, "Koekiemonster" speaks correct grammar.
