"I am a wolf, but I don't huff and puff like my brother does! Just because one wolf huffs and puffs, it doesn't mean all wolves do... I don't always do the same thing as my brother! I'm not a huffer and puffer. Why, I don't even chase pigs! I do play canasta with them every Thursday. And that's not all! On Tuesdays, I practice the violin. On Wednesdays, chess -- followed by tai chi! Yes, there's lots of things to do if you're not so busy huffing and puffing."

The two-headed monster.	The Two-Headed Monster	Joey Mazzarino and ?
	The Two-Headed Monster is a comical, light purple monster on the show. It has two heads that speak with a heavy accent and sometimes talk as if they're speaking another language, though it may just be gibberish. Their primary role in recent seasons has been to "assist" Big Bird in his search for Ernie during their hide and seek game called "Journey to Ernie". The heads generally discuss amongst themselves, and each of the monsters' arms point in a different direction. Then, the heads often debate and the arms switch directions as they say "that way," and then swap back again. Created when a writer noticed Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt, the character's original performers, were goofing off imitating a monster with two heads, which led to the design of the character.
No pic	The Twiddlebugs	?
	The Twiddlebugs (Teddy, Tessie, Thomas, and Tina) live outside of Ernie and Bert's window in a flowerbox. They are Anything Muppets which are placed among supersized props to make them look tiny. Twiddlebug segments typically involve solving some sort of problem, for example getting to the zoo in less than three days. They appeared primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, but their segments were known to repeat into the 1990s.

Human Characters

(alphabetically)

The Rodriguezes: Maria Figueroa Rodriguez (Maria), Luis Rodriguez (Luis), and daughter Gabriella Rodriguez (Gabby)
- In 1988, Maria and Luis fell in love, which led eventually to a marriage, in which Elmo was a ring bearer. This is a twist to the plot, as Maria ends her truly evident crush on David, who worked in Hooper's Store.

Maria and Luis are not married to each other in real life, but Sonia who also wrote for the show, reflected the story of her own personal romance, marriage and birth of her baby "Gabriella" into the plot line for Luis and Maria.
