Mantivore

PERFORMER	Frank Meschkuleit
DEBUT	2022
DESIGN	Jim Kroupa builder

The Mantivore is a large, praying mantis-esque creature that resides in a spout by Craggle Lagoon, as seen in the Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock episode "Craggle Lagoon."

His menacing appearance and dramatic way of greeting people has led the Craggles to believe he's a vicious beast. However, Red and Lyle Craggle discover the creature, who prefers to be called "Manty," is quite genial. Red accuses him of stealing the water from Craggle Lagoon, but he reveals to her that she and her friends were actually responsible when they inadvertently created a new waterfall in the Great Hall.

He is seen again in the first season finale "All of Us," celebrating the return of water to the lagoon, and in the second season's "Mezzo: Live in Concert" as one of the concertgoers.
