Sack-body Muppet

Some live-hand Muppets are constructed with a sack-like body, where the glove-like hand is directly attached to the body with no distinct arm sleeve between. This allows for a simpler construction, without the need for sleeves sized to the performers' arms, which may be different for both the primary and assistant performer. The loose sack-like body also allows for greater leeway in obscuring the performer from camera view.

Examples include:

• Baby Bear (1991-1998)
• Beautiful Day Monster
• Big Mean Carl (and Carla, and Carla)
• Biscuit Monster
• Buh
• Butch
• Cookie Monster
• Dingers
• Halum
• Herry Monster
• Honkers
• Oscar the Grouch (along with most Grouches)
• Papa Bear
• Rowlf the Dog
• Telly Monster
• Tiffy (originally even detached from hands entirely)
• Two-Headed Monster
• Zikwe
