Are you considering comic books and graphic novels to be part of "books" as in question 9? If no, did this character originate in one of those media?

Did not originate in either comic books or graphic novels

##CALL JECE

Does this count as a new question being answered, or are you clarifying that your previous "no" response for "books" applied to comic books and graphic novels under your interpretation of "book" ?

It counts as a question. See Commandment Ⅲ.

If no did it originate on a tv programme/series?

Yes

Remember that you can't set conditions on asking questions, folks. See Commandment Ⅲ. Even if the question is useless, it will count as a question if you ask it.

1. Not real.
2. Unknown whether male or female (free question not counted)
2. Not human.
3. Does not have a name beginning with a vowel.
4. First appeared in a work published or created after Dec. 31, 1899.
5. Not from a video game.
6. Not a robot, computer, or otherwise artificial intelligence.
7. Does not have hair.
8. From a world with sentient animals.
9. Does not feature in a book.
10. Unclear whether they have appeared in an animated film (free question not counted)
10. First appearance was not in a movie.
11. It cannot be established whether or not this is a real type of creature (question not counted)
11. First appearance not in a musical or stage production.
12. Has appeared in more than one film (though did not originate as a movie character).
13. Did not originate in comic books or graphic novels.
14. Does not have magical / divine / supernatural powers.
15. Did not first appear on the internet.
16. Is from a TV programme.

Ok so filtering out the incorrect origin questions:

- It originated on a TV show.
- It went on to appear in more than one film.
- It is not real.
- It is not human.
- Its name begins with a consonant.
- Its gender cannot be specified.
- It does not have hair.
- It is from a world with sentient animals.
- It does not have magic / divine / supernatural powers.

When this character first appeared on TV, was it portrayed in the form of a puppet, or played by someone wearing a costume?

(Note: This is not an either/or question. If the creature was portrayed in either puppet or costume form, answer "yes", if neither, answer "no".)

No

This game raises so many questions ... Are Moomins hairy? Is Brian the snail a male or are they gender neutral? The past is not as certain as one assumes.

Official question. Was the TV programme aimed at children?

No

Query to players: do you think it's a good idea to find the time period for either the show or the movies? This may not be feasible given only two remaining questions.

Possible other avenues include determining whether it's science fiction or fantasy or whatever else. To fellow guessers: does anyone have a good way to sort through this?

Two questions is not enough to go for a timeframe I think. The genre might be an option, but I think maybe the origin will be more useful.

Was the TV show where the character first appeared in English?

I think the biggest candidates for TV shows with hairless non-human characters of undetermined gender that generated at least 2 spin-off films are Star Trek and Pokemon. Most Pokemon arguably have supernatural powers, so I think they're out.
