Dauntless Dragon was the Muppet who almost didn't happen. He was originally a character for the TV special The Christmas Toy, but as the script was rewritten, Dauntless' role was cut back, and Rollie turned her talents to creating the remaining characters. But Rollie [Krewson] didn't forget about Dauntless... She made this character during odd moments: waiting for paint to dry, during meetings. Despite his few moments on camera, the dragon added much to the look of the show. ^[1]
