In "Red's Drippy Dilemma", a large purple monster with an extremely long nose appears in the background. At first it is carrying a large sack from which two Fraggles, including the butterfly collecting Fraggle that appears in the background of various installments, escape. Later these two Fraggles are seen playing hopscotch with the monster's nose. Near the end, all three are seen running with butterfly nets. This Muppet Monster is known as 'Big V' and first appeared in the "The Glow-Worm" sketch which was performed on various variety shows in the 1960s.
Unlike in the original live action versions, the Fraggles all sleep in their normal everyday clothing instead of sleeping attire.
In "Red's Drippy Dilemma", after Red hurts her head, her eyes are drawn fully closed and half closed within her eyeballs. Later, when Red wakes up annoyed by the sound of the leaking pipe, her eyes manage to frown within the confines of her eyeballs.
