Muppet questions you were afraid to ask...

[Janice & Mokey's Man]

I do, however, resist the fact that Beauregard is a mole! If he was he'd have claws, glasses, and a pointed nose...I'm either in the humanoid, or "other" camp. (Not THAT other camp...) The camp that thinks of him simply as some kind of sub species/uncategorized.

I would accept him as some kind of "sub species/uncategorized", but I will not accept him as "humanoid" unless Henson tells us so. He looks, IMO, like he obviously has fur and thick animal-y hair and an animalistic elongated nose. Pretty mole-ish to me. And remember, Muppet animals don't always look exactly like their animal counterparts...Kermit has fingers and a more rounded body than real frogs, Piggy and Link have toes instead of hooves (and Piggy has breasts! ), etc.

We can also check "Of Muppets & Men" and see what the book says, if anything, about Beau's species...

That makes me think of Redwall books. Boi hurr...
