Female Koozebanian Creature

The Female Koozebanian Creature is a red long-nosed alien from the planet Koozebane. She debuted in The Muppets Valentine Show taking part in the Galley-oh-hoop-hoop with a male Koozebanian creature.
During the sacred mating ritual, the female reacts to the male's "wonk wonk" and "hargee" with the traditional response of hysterical laughter. When the male calls out "me maboobee oh yahoo!," she replies with "wow, stavite!" The two then charge at each other with the male shouting "Galley-oh" and the female responding with an enthusastic "hoop hoop!" Their collision results in an explosion and they instantaneously dematerialize as a litter of pups appear in their place.
The character was designed by Jim Henson and built by John Lovelady in 1974; materials used for the puppet include soft foam, paint, plastic, fur fabric, marabou feathers, velour, self-adhesive vinyl, and ostrich feathers."Koozebanian female puppet." Museum of the Moving Image placard. Since 2017, the original puppet has been on display along with the other Koozebanians as a part of The Jim Henson Exhibition at the Museum of the Moving Image. 
The 2024 social media campaign The Muppets: 70 Years referred to the character as "Koozebanian Mama."

==Notes==
* The distinct laughing call of the female Koozebanian can be heard briefly in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz; the sounds of the Galley-oh-hoop-hoop are among the spooky forest sounds heard before the Cowardly Lion's first appearance.
