List of Anything Muppets

Anything Muppets are 'empty' Muppet heads. Facial features, bodies and clothes can be added to make any kind of character. A similar group of puppets known as Whatnots appeared on The Muppet Show.

During the first seasons of Sesame Street, they were known as "The Anything People" who could be anything they wanted. This ever-expanding troupe of Muppets came in all shapes, sizes, and appearances, and were able to play any role needed.[1] Usually the actors would turn them into different characters. This concept was abandoned after a few seasons, although every once in a while an Anything Muppet character would take off his nose or lose his mustache.

Main Sesame Street characters that are made from Anything Muppets include Count Von Count, Prairie Dawn, Fat Blue, Guy Smiley, Roosevelt Franklin and Sherlock Hemlock.
