Huggstables are fictional characters featured in a children's TV show, supposedly of the same name. They make their first appearance in the episode "Sleep Fighter," where they are the leading cause of Muscle Man's nightmares. Unbeknownst to him, they are the reason he unconsciously attacks every one in the house on a regular basis. Huggstables possess the ability to vaporize their enemies and turn them into multicoloured sparkles just by hugging them.
