Fraggle Rock was an underground world where the creatures called the "Fraggles" live. One of the entrances to Fraggle Rock was through a hole in the wall in the house where an old man named Doc and his dog Sprocket lived.

Although there were numerous Fraggles in Fraggle Rock, the main group of Fraggles were Gobo the leader, Mokey the artist, Red the enthusiastic one, Wembley the nervous and high strung one, and Boober was the worrying type.

Dooziers also lived in Fraggle Rock. These creatures were smaller than Fraggles, and they spent the majority of their time working. They specialized in construction, they wore hard hats and boots. They built their 'constructions' out of radishes. Radishes were the favorite food of Fraggles. Therefore, Fraggles ate the constructions, and the Dooziers rebuilt.

Gorgs lived outside of an alternate exit from Fraggle Rock. They were giant furry creatures that hated the Fraggles, and considered them pests.

The Trash Heap was the 'oracle' that lived in the garbage near the garden of the Gorgs. The Fraggles went to her when they needed help and guidance.
