Gonzo (aka Gonzo the Great) is a puppet character, one of Jim Henson's Muppets.
Unlike most of the central Muppets characters, Gonzo is not a puppet version of a human or a recognizable animal. He is a muppet who sports a bizarre, non-human appearance, which includes blue fur, purple feathers on his head, bug-eyes, and a long, hooked nose. In The Muppet Show he performed as a performance artist, stuntman and daredevil under the name "The Great Gonzo" (or "Gonzo the Great").
Gonzo is good friends with all of the Muppets, but he seems to be closest to Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear, and his best friend and roommate, Rizzo the Rat. In the 1999 film Muppets From Space it is revealed that he is an alien from a distant planet in space and he meets his alien family for the first time.
Gonzo is a popular children's toy, and available in a variety of different sizes and costumes. See Less
