Boober Fraggle is one of the five main Fraggles in Fraggle Rock. He has green skin and fur, red hair, and no visible eyes. He usually wears a brown cap and scarf.
Unlike other Fraggles, Boober does not like fun and games and spends most of his time worrying about doom and disease. When he's not worrying about himself, he's busy warning others. He is easily frightened and suffers from a variety of phobias. Because of his fears, he is very knowledgeable about health and superstition. He has a lucky charm for just about anything -- often multiples.
Aside from his friends, there are only two things in life that Boober is very fond of: laundry and cooking. Boober is much like a Cave Fraggle, though this may just be a coincidence. It is unknown exactly whose socks Boober is cleaning; the only Fraggle known to wear them is Uncle Traveling Matt.
Boober lives on his own in a hole. He often hangs out with Wembley Fraggle and is easily annoyed by Red Fraggle's endless enthusiasm.
He is allergic to dogs.
Inside his dreams, Boober has a fun alter ego named Sidebottom (also performed by Dave Goelz).
Out of the entire Fraggle Five, Boober is the only character not to appear at Jim Henson's Memorial, as his puppeteer, Dave Goelz, was puppeteering Gonzo the Great at the time.
Boober was named after an angry cow encountered by one of Jim Henson's daughters in Devon. In the language of the ancient Fraggles, "Boober" means "Tie 'em to a rock!"
