The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance - Hup - Funko Pop! (861) - (Pop In A Box)

The Podlings, also known as the Pod People, are a species of gentle "earth-people" native to Thra and affiliated with the Gelflings, named for the giant seed-pods in which they live. In their own language, they referred to themselves as apopiapoiopidiappididiapipob, which translated as "master gardeners who live in bulging plants." The Podlings are dwarf-like in stature yet with very rounded, circular-shaped, bulbous potato-like heads and small round eyes. They have a love of music and parties. In tune with nature, they can speak to Thra's wildlife and Kira was taught this skill by her adoptive mother Ydra. With The World of the Dark Crystal revealing that many were initially lured to the Castle, the Podlings were abducted from their homes by the Garthim so that skeTek can extract their vital essence for a youth serum reserved for the Emperor. While the serum's effects are temporary compared to the essence extracted from Gelflings, the process turns the Podlings into aged and mindless slaves who beckon to the Skeksis' commands. At the end of the film, the enslaved Podlings are restored to their original selves.

Hup (performed by Victor Yerrid) - A Podling who is a friend of Deet that appears in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. He aspires to be a Paladin and carries around a big wooden spoon like a sword.
