Thig...Thog...huh?

[Cantus Rock]

I just watched The Great Santa Claus Switch, and I was wondering (among many other questions I have), who is the other full-body Muppet in the production? (The one that slightly resembles Thig with a beak that guards the Fred-and-crew in their cell) Thanks in advance!

Thog we all know- the blue one. Thig is the green one (played by Frank Oz).

Yes, but there is a third full-bodied puppet, whose name was not mentioned. He was only referred to by Fred as "that Frackle" once when they escape the cell disguised as rocks. He resembles Thig (basically he looks like Thing with a beak). Does this one have a name?

That one doesn't have a name as far as I know.

HERE'S A MUPPET NEWSFLASH!

Thig's whereabouts have been tracked down. Apparently the people at Henson didn't see him as a marketable character, unlike his brother Thog, so Thig was not invited to appear on "The Muppet Show". Rumor has it that he hit the bottle (of milk) pretty hard after this news, and was last seen by his Muppet friends in an alleyway fighting with Gaffer over a pint. He has currently reconciled with Thog and is living in retirement, in a trailer park in Phoenix, Arizona.

Thig=green,longer nose, more menacing
Thog=blue, short nose, not as intimidating
