Frackles The Frackles are a group of monsters who first appeared in the 1970 special " The Great Santa Claus Switch " as the henchmen of Cosmo Scam , the villain who tried to replace Santa Claus . The group included Snivelly , Boppity and Gloat , among others . Several of the Frackles were later reused or reworked for other projects , including " The Muppet Show " . And some changed to monsters or other creatures - such as Gonzo ( originally known as a cigar box Frackle ) who moved away from the Frackle label to become a " whatever " . Five Frackles were mentioned by name in the lyrics of a song featured in " The Great Santa Claus Switch " . However they were never mentioned by those names again ; their names were either changed or not mentioned at all thereafter . When the Frackles were referred to after that special , they were either named after their performer , color , shape or design . The Jim Henson Company does not have any official files , publications or material with the song ' s names included . Boppity and Gloat , for example , were officially known within the Henson organization as Blue Frackle and Green Frackle , respectively . The Frackles became nameless and personality - less monsters , similar to Whatnots , Anything Muppets , and Anything Monsters . They often changed appearance , performer , name and gender depending on the sketch . The Frackles had no distinct traits or personality , and functioned as utility monsters . Six new Frackles debuted in the fifth season of " The Muppet Show " , similar in design to the established Frackles . In 2001 , when the Muppets appeared on " Family Feud " , a new Frackle named Mo was introduced . When " Fraggle Rock " was in development , the question arose of choosing a name for the characters ' species . According to Michael K . Frith , Jerry Juhl kept returning to the moniker " Frackle , " which when softened to " Fraggle , " became the final choice . " " by Brian Jay Jones suggests that the word may come from " Grackle , " another name for blackbird . The major Frackles are all birdlike . The definition of what is a Frackle , rather than a generic monster , narrowed over time . It appears that as originally sketched for The Great Santa Claus Switch , all of Cosmo Scam ' s henchmen could be called Frackles , and in a 1971 Dick Cavett Show appearance , Jim Henson offhandedly refers to Lothar and Thog in this way . However , dialogue by Cosmo Scam in the special seems to suggest that only the smaller creatures are Frackles . By the time of The Muppet Show , only the birdlike creatures were referred to as Frackles , and any new Frackles created resemble Boppity and Gloat , thus defining what exactly a Frackle is .
