About This Marionette
Dunstan the dragon was the first marionette I designed.
He is still one of the more popular fairy tale characters in the Dwobbly Castle series of marionettes.
He's a dragon with a wiggly walk a goofy nature and his movable mouth can nibble on all sorts of things.
Dunstan the Dragon's Story
The egg from which Dunstan hatched had rolled down the side of a mountain and was found by Princess Destiny.
The Princess used the unusual egg as the centerpiece for the mantle above the fire.
Though, at first, very surprised at what emerged from the egg, she took care of the dragon.
She fed him holly leaves and scones, taught him how to walk and, eventually, how to talk and not to bite and good table manners and how to play badminton and all the other games that she knew.
His Flying skills were self-taught though, so he's not too good at that.
Dunstan the Dragon has grown up as everyone's friend; the kindest, most gentle and fun-loving fairy tale Dragon you will ever meet, and he only ever breathes fire when he sneezes.
He does not realize that most dragons are not like him.
He, like Sir Dorric, is totally devoted to the Princess and has the characteristics of a loving pet dog.
His attitude is always positive even in the most adverse conditions.
Like any Dragon, he's not terribly bright, and quite often does not fully comprehend what is going on but will, nevertheless, happily play along.
In fact, he sees some kind of game in most of the activities his companions are involved in.
