Gorgs - The Giants
Gorgs, at 22 feet tall, are fifteen times the size of a Fraggle, and they live in the crumbling remains of a castle outside of Fraggle Rock. There are three remaining members of the species - Pa, Ma, and Junior. Pa and Ma are King and Queen of the Universe because they said they were and because there's no one around to disagree.
Junior's not interested in the Universe. He's only interested in Fraggles. Whenever Junior's not doing all the work his parents would do if they weren't to busy ruling the Universe, he tries to catch Fraggles.
Consequently, the Universe doesn't care about Gorgs at all, but the Fraggles do. It's very hard to pick giant vegetables while being chased by a moving mountain. Almost as hard as it is to be a moving mountain chasing very fast Fraggles.

Gorgs, giant furry humanoids standing 22 feet tall. The husband and wife of the family consider themselves the King and Queen of the Universe, with their son Junior as its prince and heir, but to all appearances they are really simple farmers with a rustic house and garden patch. The second episode of the first season reveals that the Gorgs have never actually met anyone besides themselves, (I've never met a subject before!), suggesting that King and Queen of the Universe are self-imposed titles. Fraggles are considered a pest by the Gorgs, as they steal radishes. In one episode it is revealed that the Gorgs use radishes to make "anti-vanishing cream" that prevents them from becoming invisible. Thus, the three main races of the Fraggle Rock universe - Fraggles, Doozers and Gorgs - are all dependent on the radishes for their own particular reason. While the King and Queen consider the Fraggles disgusting vermin, Junior enjoys chasing, catching and imprisoning them, much like a boy would lizards and bugs ("Look, Maw! I caught a Fwaggle!")

in the Gorgs' world is a sapient compost heap called Marjory, and her two rat-like sidekicks Philo and Gunge. Only Philo and Gunge called her Marjory; the Fraggles called her Madame Trash Heap. The Fraggles consider the Trash Heap to be all-wise and go to her for advice regularly. She wasn't much of a principal character on the show but did appear in nearly every episode. Madame Trash Heap was played by Jerry Nelson. Although the Fraggles refer to her as a "trash heap", Marjory is most definitely a compost pile, and it seems that the fact that she is comprised of immortal matter in the cycle of life (i.e. she has been around more than once), is the philosophy behind her great wisdom. When she is first introduced, Philo and Gunge state: "The Trash Heap knows all!" and "The Trash Heap tells all!", to which Marjory replies, "Let's face it boys; the Trash Heap is all. I'm orange peels, I'm coffee grounds - I am wisdom."
Philo & Gunge
The heralds of the Trash Heap, they often introduced her as the "all-knowing, all-seeing Trash Heap!" Their main job was to provide humor, bad jokes, and puns. Although Gunge professed to be the brains of the pair, neither ever really prove to be a great help. They watched over the Trash Heap; if they left for a long time she would begin to die out. When she was finished speaking, they would announce, "The Trash Heap has spoken! Nyeah!" Philo and Gunge did get two episodes of the series devoted to them: "Home Is Where The Trash Is" and "Gunge The Great & Glorious". After Fraggle Rock ended, Philo went into retirement, but Gunge appeared on Dinosaurs and Mopatop's Shop. Philo was played by Dave Goelz and Gunge was played by Richard Hunt.
Other Creatures
The Blob is a giant rolling blob that has a generally amorphous shape but has some kind of mouth somewhere. In one episode, the Blob comes in and continues to eat Doozer after Doozer. The Fraggles finally find a way to get the Blob to regurgitate all the Doozers by telling jokes and getting the thing to laugh very intensely.
Convincing John (Jim Henson) is a Fraggle who uses his fast talking musical numbers to convince Fraggles to do anything, from getting Red to wear a blindfold to getting all Fraggles to stop eating Doozer constructions.
The Poisonous Cackler is a large, fearsome, scorpion-like creature who enjoys eating smoke bombs.
The Spider Fly (Richard Hunt) is a flying insect capable of turning into an avuncular Fraggle-like being and granting wishes.
Toe Ticklers are fuzzy caterpillar-like creatures that are despised by the Gorgs since they eat flowers. However they eventually pupate and turn into flying jelly-fish like creatures which the Gorgs admire as beautiful creatures of the skies.
Cantus (voiced by Jim Henson) and the Minstrels continually travel to different parts of the cave, and stop several times at Fraggle Rock. They encourage the Fraggles to find their own songs, which culminate in "Our melody/come and sing it with me/It's a song where you know you'll belong . . . /'Cause you know we belong to the song."
