Minecraft:Sock Puppet

A sock puppet is a type of puppet made from a modified sock, appearing as a frequent subject within Minecraft:Ten Things You Probably Didn't Know About Minecraft.

Appearance

The sock puppet associated with Minecraft:M.A.R.I.L.L.A. is a light blue sock with white and mauve stripes at its leg. The face of the puppet appears to be a reptile, with red buttons for nostrils, a Template:Wikipedia, purple strings for hair, and googly eyes. In its first appearance, it was depicted as substantially larger than Minecraft:Steve and several Minecraft:phantoms, at least twelve Minecraft:blocks tall, but in subsequent videos it appears to be the size of an actual sock.

History

The sock puppet first appeared while Minecraft:M.A.R.I.L.L.A. was explaining the history of the Minecraft:phantom. An early design had an animated mouth, which was rejected for bearing a resemblance to a member of Minecraft:The Muppets. To demonstrate this, the sock puppet appeared as a Template:Wikipedia-like creature, towering over and apparently frightening M.A.R.I.L.L.A. It would reappear in a segment about the development of the Minecraft:ravager. Once again it is used as a design example, with the final look of the mob being likened to a cross between it and the Fire Ogre from Minecraft:Mo' Creatures; a goofy yet imposing look inspired by the Manticore from Minecraft:Dungeons & Dragons.

Its third appearance would be in a segment about the Minecraft:wandering trader, appearing in a brief case of "hot new items!!!" Alongside it were issues of Minecraft:Coarse Dirt Weekly and Minecraft:HRRRM!, a Minecraft:PlayStation copy of Minecraft:RubyDung, and a t-shirt marked "I'm More Hardcore Than the Middle of a Diamond Apple." In 2021 it would once again be brought up to explain the phantom's development, this time by Narrator, to M.A.R.I.L.L.A.'s chagrin.
