Each Goop is named for a mischievous or naughty childhood trait. The Goops are listed alphabetically and each has a story and a short verse explaining their fault.
This page depicts Urapyg who, even though is always well groomed and neat, has horrid things to say and calls people names; once saying to his sister, "you're a pig!" |
