The Munsters Characters - The Munsters' Pets

The Munsters' Pets

• Igor - Grandpa's pet Transylvanian bat. He is often seen flying around the mansion, especially in Grandpa's basement, in which he often serves as a guinea pig. His feelings are easily hurt inducing him to fly away. On occasion, Grandpa in bat form has been mistaken for Igor.

• Spot - Eddie's pet dragon whose lair is under the stairs. There are underground tunnels that go from Spot's lair to the Munsters' backyard. Spot has a hobby of chasing cars which sometimes ends with him catching them. He has a battleaxe scar on his shoulder and is always spouting fire from his nostrils when the outline of his head is seen upon the entrance to Spot's lair opens. When he leaves his lair, only his tail can usually be seen. Spot is skilled at games and has beaten Herman at checkers and ping pong. The 13th episode of Season 2 called "Underground Munster" features Spot running away after leaving muddy footprints on the floor to be mistaken for a dangerous monster when sighted in the sewer. Herman goes down the manhole to search for Spot, but is also mistaken for a dangerous monster. The only episode in which we see more than his tail occurs in the episode "Lily's Star Boarder" where we see the other parts of the tail that weren't seen before. Despite his fearsome demeanor, Spot is "afraid of his own shadow" and Herman adds "and I don't blame him." While Butch Hartman claimed that Spot was recycled from the Tyrannosaurus model from One Million B.C., Spot was actually designed by Fred Gwynne and Al Lewis and assembled by some builders. Some sources claim that Spot was actually a dinosaur model from The Land Unknown. In "The Munsters Today," Spot's presence in the show is usually depicted with his fire breath emerging from the entrance to his lair.

• Charlie The Raven (voiced by Mel Blanc and occasionally by Bob Hastings) - A raven who lives in the Munsters' cuckoo clock and repeats the word "Nevermore." When the raven occasionally makes smart alecky remarks, Herman throws objects at him. Sometimes, the raven will come out of his clock, but often only for short breaks or to flee when frightened.

• Kitty - A black cat roars like a lion.
