They act like kids, but they have jobs and live pretty much independently (the uniqueness of their world's economy notwithstanding). No visible parents, but "Uncle Traveling Matt" would suggest they must have some sort of family system. Do Fraggles even age or "mature" at the same rate as humans?

  • They act like kids, but they have jobs and live pretty much independently (the uniqueness of their world's economy notwithstanding). No visible parents, but "Uncle Traveling Matt" would suggest they must have some sort of family system. Do Fraggles even age or "mature" at the same rate as humans? * Actually, it's pretty curious that they never adressed this sort of thing; Fraggle life-cycles and such. An early concept sketch suggests that they lay eggs and they do look rather birdlike, so maybe they reach their adult size within a year or two and reach actual maturity in another year or two. Meaning Red, Gobo and company are young by human standards. * There were actually plans of including Fraggle births and life cycles in the show, but the creators changed their minds somewhere around mid-first season and decided not to address the issue at all. So all we get in the actual show is the Storyteller's vague reference to a Fraggle being "hatched" in the first-season episode "The Terrible Tunnel", which is somewhat contradicted in the second season, where it's revealed that most of the Fraggles don't know what an egg is. So either Fraggle eggs are extremely different from normal eggs, or they hatch out of rocks or something. * They seem like young adults. The question is whether that makes them older, younger or the same age as human young adults, depending on how fast Fraggles age.
