Puppets

The following is a listing of puppets (including ventriloquist dummies, marionettes and shadow puppets) within the various Muppet worlds.

While a few are revealed to be autonomous characters (such as Chuckie, The Dancing Clown, Gary Cahuenga and the various Pinocchios), most are shown alongside their respective performers (oftentimes real world puppets in their own right).

“Wiggling dolls is weird. In fact it might even be sick!”
—Gonzo in episode 508
