Potto is a monster who serves as the primary star of Sesame Tree, the Northern Irish co-production of Sesame Street. Potto is a book-loving inventor whose name reflects his tendency to "potter" around with devices. He uses one such machine to communicate with his friends on Sesame Street. His best friend is Hilda, an Irish hare, who lives with him in the tree.
Potto is said to be the cousin of Telly Monster, while in the episode "Potto's Never Ending Story," he claims that Oscar the Grouch is his cousin as well.
