Zeliboba (Зелибоба) is a full-bodiedcharacter on Ulitsa Sezam, the Russianco-production of Sesame Street. He slightly resembles a hound in some aspects (long muzzle, floppy ears and a keen sense of smell), and always wears a long fuzzy cloak that looks somewhat like a regal mantle decorated with leaves and fluffy catkins. In two episodes of the first season, it was mentioned that he is five years old.
The character was originally created by Ed Christie with a coat of soft brown fur and leaves. When presented to the Russian producers, though, they requested that he be made blue, the color traditionally associated with spirits in Russian culture.
Ed Christie considers Zeliboba his favorite character creation; he remarked that it resembles a large moving mulch pile.[1]
