Skenfrith receives his name from Red, who also tells him that he has pigtails and likes to swim, among other things; as she creates this persona for Skenfrith, he promptly adopts her beliefs as his own characteristics. His changes only become a problem when Ma Gorg believes he is a large two-headed monster, and he is forced to comply (the part with Skenfrith growing into a large two-headed monster is an example of Walk-Around and Puppet Switching). Boober encounters another Skenfrith in the comic "The Fraggle Who Cried Monster".
