Pinocchio is the central character of the story written by Carlo Collodi, 'The Adventures of Pinocchio.'

He was a wooden puppet (a Marionette), made by an old man called Geppetto, from a piece of wood that could talk. Pinocchio goes through a series of adventures, until he finally learns that in order to achieve one's goals, one needs to work hard. He tries to evade this several times, and always gets caught in dangerous situations.

In the end, he manages to prove he changed from a selfish sloth into a hard-working and loving boy, and this change is reflected in the fact that he actually becomes a real boy, thus fulfilling his dream.

They are their own type. "Muppet" was invented by Jim Henson to describe his foam characters. It's a trademark, and therefore anything built by him or his company are called "muppets". However, foam characters made by other puppeteers use the same building methods; and are called "people puppets", "muppet-type" or "muppet-style", etc. just to avoid copyright infringements.

Muppets or muppet-type puppets are simply one of a number of types of puppetry.
