Scritch is a witch who appeared in a story segment in The Muppets on Puppets.
She identifies herself as the wicked witch of the kingdom of Frell, whose friends are rats, bats, and squiggley things, and her foes are laughter, puppy dogs, and kings. (She also kicks kitty cats as a hobby).
Scritch claims that the palace sits on a hill under which her grandfather once lived in a cave. Believing the land to be hers, she threatens King Fred and Princess Gwendolynda to leave.
After failing, she turned into a dragon and sent herself to the kingdom in a package. Charlie fought her, and his feather tickled her, causing her to laugh like she never laughed before. Due to her laughter, King Fred decided to give her a job at the palace.
