Obviously Pokey was a horse, Prickle was some kind of dragon, I think Goo was a fish that could fly or glide. There were plenty of characters, who might've looked silly sometimes, were still obviously human and Nopey was clearly a dog. So what the hell kind of creatures were Gumby and his family supposed to be? I've been wondering that for years.

They are Gumbasians, from the land of Gumbasia. Their own species.
sharePutting more thought into it than the creator did is a mistake.
