Gloat

Gloat, a green Frackle, was one of Cosmo Scam's henchmen in The Great Santa Claus Switch. In Jim Henson's original sketch, Gloat is referred to as the "Eagle-Frackle."Jim Henson's Red Book entry
The puppet used for Gloat would be rebuilt and reused in later productions as a generic utility monster. The puppet, known as the "Green Frackle," would change performer, attire, role, name and even gender depending on the production needs.
Gloat (identified with he/him pronouns) appears in "Fozzie's Super-Sticky Situation" from the anthology Muppets Meet the Classics: Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm. In this retelling of "The Golden Goose", Gloat, Boppity, and Snivelly play the innkeeper's children who get stuck to the golden owl while attempting to steal its feathers.

Following Gloat's appearance in The Great Santa Claus Switch, the character would go on to make many appearances in subsequent Muppet productions, beginning with The Muppet Show.
For The Muppet Show, he was given white eyes, a green inner mouth (lips), and numerous upper fangs. He was rebuilt for Mopatop's Shop. In The Muppets Character Encyclopedia, he's listed as "Grumpy green Frackle."
