The Marionette

Template:Creature }}

“	At first you think it's some kind of Halloween prop, but it's August, too early. A figure crumpled in the middle of the path. Before you can investigate further, there's a loud POP, and a spotlight illuminates the thing (man?). It starts to rise, unfurling it's long, long arms.	„

The Marionette, is a Creature made by Artist Trevor Henderson

Was once called as The Hugger, which was what Titor called this creature before Trevor debunked that and confirmed the creature‘s actually name was The Marionette.

So the name “The Hugger” was just a non-canon nickname that was used to refer to this creature till Trevor made an another tweet of this Puppet on Jun 22 2016, with a updated image of The Marionette.

Description

The Marionette depicts a white malnourished humanoid lacking any facial features, hanging from several strings reminiscent of a marionette. The Marionette appears to be constantly under a bright spotlight of unknown origin, presumably from the creature animating The Marinette.

Information

An episode seems to show the Marionette in The Mayfair Watchers Society

Trevor has made 2 tweets of this creature on his Twitter.

In the 1st tweet made on Aug 12 2011 about The Marionette. the post caption says.

“At first you think it's some kind of Halloween prop, but it's February, too early. A figure crumpled in the middle of the path. Before you can investigate further, there's a loud POP, and a spotlight illuminates the thing (man?). It starts to rise, unfurling it's long, long arms.”

In that tweet, user @vilecorvid comments.

“Then, seemingly from the air, a tune emerges that chills you to the core. "Puttin' On the Ritz" echoes throughout the night. The creature begins to carry out a perfectly choreographed dance routine. You wish you had moves that good.”

Trevor responds to the comment with, “As it finishes its dance moves, it hangs perfectly still, looking in your direction with its featureless face. The spotlight clicks off with a reverberating clunk, and the figure slowly rises into the sky on its strings until it's only a dot in the twilight sky. And it's gone.”

Another comment that Trevor responds to on the 1st tweet, is one that was by user @APurplePokemon, that says.

“On a scale of 1-10 how good at hugs is this guy?” To which the answer Trevor gives is

The last comment that Trevor responds to on that tweet, was by user @BarbecueSquad, asking.

“ I want a GIF of him doing a little spooky dance now”. To which Trevor responds with “He can definitely roll that noggin down his arms at will”.

On the 2nd tweet made on Jun 22 2022 about The Marionette. The post caption says “The Marionette”, which is where Trevor finally confirmed the creature’s name.

The only comment he made on the 2nd tweet that gives you more information on this creature was. “I feel like he'll silently lower from the sky while you're alone at the park at 4:00 AM, and then cavort about in some strange dance, before bowing graciously and being pulled back up into the sky, his silhouette disappearing behind a passing jetliner.”

Trivia

• Trevor has made two twitter posts about this puppet creature on August 12, 2018 and June 22, 2022.
• This creature can give the best hugs, as confirmed in a Tumblr post by Trevor.
• Clark Titor initially named the creature "The Hugger" before Trevor confirmed that it's The Marrionette.
• Clark also spawned the common theory that The Marionette is being controlled by A Big Spider in his (outdated and really inaccurate) video on The Marionette.
• It is unknown if The Marionette controls itself or is being controlled by another creature. A fan theory speculates that it could be controlled by The Giant Puppeteer, but there's no evidence beyond the logical connection between their names.
• The Marionette’s habits and behavior seems to suggest that this puppet creature isn't aggressive.
• The Mayfair Watchers Society episode "Church Musical" appears to be based on The Marrionette. In the podcast, The Marionette dances for an audience of children; when they bring one child's father to The Marionette to prove it's real, it thanks the children for this "offering," hugs the father, and drags him through a floating door into another dimension.
• Fans regularly leave funny comments about The Marionette's hugs and dancing.
• Trevor thanks user @VERWHO in the first tweet's comments for taking the background picture, and user @KarenDebbie in the second tweet's comments for taking its background picture.
