Some live-hand Muppets are built with a sack-like body, whereas there's no actual structure to it. The arms are directly attached to the base rather than being separate sleeves. Notable examples include:

• Butch
• Cookie Monster
• Halum
• Herry Monster
• Honkers
• Murray Monster
• Oscar the Grouch
• Papa Bear
• Rowlf the Dog
• Telly Monster
• Two-Headed Monster
