Muppets vs Creatures The term Muppet is used on Muppet Wiki to define the group of puppet characters created by Jim Henson and the Jim Henson Company . Although most commonly used to define the characters from the world of " The Muppet Show " ( and its directly related productions ) - - characters such as Kermit the Frog , Fozzie Bear , Miss Piggy , and Gonzo – - the term Muppet is also officially used to define many other puppets built by the Jim Henson Workshop , including those for shows such as " Sesame Street " and " Fraggle Rock " . The spirit of a Muppet character is stylized , simplified , and symbolic . Kermit the Frog is not trying to pass as a realistic talking frog , but more as an artistic , almost cartoon - like , character that entertains and captivates audiences . The term Creature is used to define the group of life - like animatronic and special - effect driven puppet characters created by the Jim Henson Creature Shop . This includes characters such as Jen ( from " The Dark Crystal " ) , Pilot ( from " Farscape " ) , the animals from " Babe " , and many others . The art of a " creature " is to achieve a sense of realism and believability . Unlike the Muppets , these characters are trying to get the audience to believe they are real . ( Jen is a " real " Gelfing ; and Pilot is a " real " alien . ) The " Creature " characters are much more life - like , detailed , and technically advanced when compared to Muppet characters . Note : On Muppet Wiki , we ' re not making the distinction between Muppet and Creature based on geography ; it doesn ' t matter whether a puppet was built in the Muppet Workshop in New York or the Creature Shop in London . The symbolic , puppety characters built in the Creature Shop are still classified as Muppets - - for example , the characters from " Mother Goose Stories " and " The Ghost of Faffner Hall " .
