Lanford
PERFORMER Rob Mills
DEBUT 1984
Lanford BTTR

Lanford's design in Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock.

Lanford is a Night-Blooming Yellow-Leaved Deathwort, owned by Mokey Fraggle on Fraggle Rock.

Lanford resides in a corner of Red and Mokey's room, right in between the girls' beds; the character debuted in the second season episode "A Cave of One's Own," in which Mokey and Red first move in together. Although Mokey adores her plant, Red (for the most part) shows a distinct dislike for him.

In "The Secret Society of Poobahs," it is shown that Lanford is a member of the Poobahs.

In the third season episode "The Beanbarrow, the Burden and the Bright Bouquet," Lanford became covered in red spots. Then, after being sung a lullaby (by Red, who was somewhat reluctant), he blossomed flowers. This episode also marks one of the only times the two have gotten along.

Lanford makes a cameo, only appearing as a background prop, in Mokey's room in Fraggle Rock: Rock On!

Lanford returned for the second season of Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, this time with a rounder, friendlier-looking redesign, with more prominent spots, a mane of leaves around his neck, and pink fluff on his stem. Here, he is portrayed by Ingrid Hansen. Kept in his pot like the original series for most of the season, in "Letting Go," Mokey makes the difficult decision of planting him in The Gorgs' Garden due to him growing too big for his pot, as well as the ability of deathworts to balance the soil they grow in possibly being key to regrowing the radishes.
