We discuss localized excitations on the incipient infintie percolation cluster. Assuming a simple exponential decay of the amplitudes Ψ i in terms of the chemical (minimal) path, we show theoretically that the ψ's are characterized by a logarithmically broad distribution, and display multifractal features as a function of the Euclidean distance. The movements of Ψ i exhibit novel corssover phenomena. Our numerical simulations of fractons exhibit a nontrivial distribution of localization lengths, even when the chemical distance is fixed
