Zorna

Zorna is a toy character prominently featured in the Muppet Babies episode "The Friends of Zorna Club."

Having previously appeared as one of Baby Gonzo's toys in prior episodes,[1] Zorna is the main character in a franchise that includes books, cartoons, movies, and merchandise (such as a pin worn by both Gonzo and Potato).

Zorna is an intergalactic warrior princess who hails from the planet Zornoopiter. She has green skin and purple hair, and carries a large star-tipped scepter. She speaks in a series of "beeps" and "boops" suggesting these words come from her alien language. Her planet is also home to wild hopping muffonians (purple muffins with googly eyes).

Much is learned about Zorna's lore through a test Gonzo puts his friends through in order to admit them into a fan club he's created for her. For example, Zorna vacations on the rings of Saturn (and winters in Orlando), she has a pet monkey named Steve, and her favorite snack is a super sky-high jelly sandwich with a cherry on top.

Books featuring her exploits include "Zorna Rides a Shooting Star," "Zorna Jumps Over the Moon," and "Zorna and the Wild Brunch" (Gonzo's favorite).
