Which Muppet Character Are You, Based On Your Chinese Zodiac Sign?
After more than 50 years, the cast of Muppets is enormous, and it only continues to grow over time. From legends like Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy to newer additions such as Pepe the King Prawn and Constantine, the Muppets are beloved by audiences old and new from around the world.
Jim Henson's cast of fuzzy felt characters work well as a group, but they also shine as individuals. Each Muppet character is unique in personality and lovable in their own way, with some of these adored characters being among the most iconic in popular culture. As a result, there is a Muppet for every sign of the Chinese Zodiac.
Pepe the King Prawn may be one of the smallest Muppets but he certainly has one of the biggest personalities. Confident, suave, and a lover of the limelight, Pepe has quickly become one of the more popular Muppets and has been a starring role in Muppets Now and Muppets Haunted Mansion.
His friend Rizzo may be a literal rat but it is Pepe that fits the Rat sign. Like people born under the year of the Rat, Pepe is quick-witted and charming but also can be a little brash. But the most defining quality shared by Pepe and people born in the year of the Rat is likability.
Philosophical Rowlf is most often seen playing the piano, reciting beloved poems, or cracking a witty joke about his fellow Muppets. Although more prominent in the Muppets' earlier days, Rowlf has been making more of a comeback in more recent Muppet outings.
Rowlf best reflects the year of the Ox because of his honesty and calm temperament. Furthermore, although a pianist and poet who is happy to take to the stage, Rowlf doesn't actively seek the spotlight and is recognized through his talents alone, much like Oxes in general.
If it weren't for her on-off romantic interest Kermit, primadonna Miss Piggy would probably be the most iconic Muppet ever. The glamorous porcine diva loves nothing more than to be the superstar that she knows she is.
There are so many pigs and pig jokes in the years of the Muppets but the Muppets' most famous pig is more suited to the year of the Tiger than the Pig. Miss Piggy demonstrates Tiger qualities such as independence and self-esteem but can also be authoritative and fiercely hot-tempered if someone dares to challenge or upstage her.
The Muppets' resident comedian is Fozzie Bear, a sweet and sensitive bear who wants nothing more than to make people laugh. Unfortunately for him, his acts are often shot down by the resident hecklers Statler and Waldorf.
Like people born in the year of the Rabbit, Fozzie is polite and is not one for conflicts. In fact, he will very rarely say no in his eagerness to please and will take whatever opportunity he can get. But although he is soft, Fozzie is very sociable and confident in himself, qualities that are linked to Rabbits.
Among Jim Henson's most iconic characters are the Muppets' house band, the Electric Mayhem. Members of this groovy rock band consist of Zoot, Floyd Pepper, Janice, Animal, Lips, and their unofficial leader Dr. Teeth.
With his extravagant clothes, energetic stage presence, and charisma, Dr. Teeth is one of the most distinct Muppet characters to date. Even when not performing, Dr. Teeth exudes warmth and loves nothing more than to be groovy, and it is all of these traits that make him a perfect fit for the year of the Dragon.
Muppets Most Wanted introduced a new Muppet and a villain in the form of Constantine, a criminal mastermind who is essentially Kermit's doppelganger. Although his only main appearance was as the movie's villain, Constantine easily won fans over and is a great recent addition to the Muppets.
Constantine remains calm in any situation and is unphased by smaller problems, which are characteristics associated with Snakes. What's more, Snakes are planners and will act on them regardless of what others think. Constantine was the mastermind behind all of the global thefts and didn't care what would happen to any of the Muppets or his "number two" Dominic Badguy.
Dr. Teeth may be the frontman of the Electric Mayhem but the most iconic and popular member of the group is the drummer Animal. With his savage antics and mad drum solos, Animal is easily in the hearts of many Muppet fans around the world.
Horses are full of energy and are motivated by what makes them happy, which fits the wild and drum-loving Animal perfectly. What's more, Horses are short-tempered and have quick-changing emotions. Whilst being on the end of Animal's wrath is dangerous, he can easily be subdued by the right person.
Lanky, flame-haired Beaker is the long-suffering assistant of the Muppets' resident scientist Dr. Bunsen Honeydew. Only speaking in 'meeps' and squeaks, Beaker is constantly the reluctant subject of Honeydew's experiments, which often end in disaster.
People born in the year of the Sheep are mild-mannered and peaceful but are also hardy and resilient to what is thrown their way. This could not be more apt for poor frazzled Beaker, who is a kind and sensitive soul that has somehow survived countless disasters in Muppet Labs and beyond.
The eccentric daredevil Gonzo the Great is one of the Muppets' most beloved and famous characters. Most commonly known as a 'whatever', Gonzo knows no fear (sometimes to a fault) and his fearlessness helps make him the best character in Muppets Haunted Mansion.
People born in the year of the Monkey are optimistic, enthusiastic, can adapt to their surroundings, and are confident by nature. All of the qualities easily reflect Gonzo, especially when he is laughing in the face of danger before diving headfirst into his latest weird yet dangerous stunt.
No-nonsense and extremely patriotic, Sam Eagle frequently looks his beak down upon his fellow Muppets and their acts, which he frequently considers lowbrow and distasteful. He is often seen trying to make the show classier and more tasteful but this always goes wrong in the most Muppet way possible.
Sam is extremely practical and straightforward, which makes him a suitable fit for the year of the Rooster. Furthermore, Roosters are quick to criticize those they deem unworthy and can be perfectionists. This could not be more fitting for Sam's open disapproval of his fellow Muppets.
As the heart of the Muppets, not to mention one of TV's longest-running characters, Kermit the Frog is a legendary character not just in the Muppets franchise but in popular culture overall. Kind yet level-headed, Kermit is considered the heart of the Muppet characters and is the one that holds them all together.
Kermit's kindness, loyalty to his fellow Muppets, and honesty make him a great fit for representing people born in the year of the Dog. What's more, Kermit is the one all of the Muppets turn to for advice, a quality that is most often associated with Dogs.
Wisecracking Rizzo is most renowned among Muppet fans for his ravenous appetite and his sarcastic dry wit towards others. His greatest roles were in The Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island, where he starred alongside his good friend Gonzo.
Rizzo is most motivated by what he loves best, which is food, a trait similar to people born in the year of the Pigs. What's more, Pigs are honest and would rather be enjoying themselves in life, much like Rizzo openly voicing his opinion on matters whilst on the hunt for something to eat.
