Spot the Dragon

Eddie's pet dinosaur, sometimes referred to as Spotty, whose lair is under the stairs. Although some say Spot is a dragon, shots of both his tail as well as shadows of his torso clearly indicate that he is a fire-breathing version of a stegosaurus. There are 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 battle-axe scar on his shoulder and spouts fire from his nostrils. When he leaves his lair, only his tail can usually be seen. The 13th episode of Season 2, entitled "Underground Munster", features Spot running away after Herman punishes him by tapping him on the tail with a newspaper while admonishing, "Naughty, naughty, naughty!" for leaving muddy footprints on the floor, after which he's mistaken for a dangerous monster when he is sighted in the sewer. Herman goes down the manhole to search for Spot but is also mistaken for a dangerous monster. In "Far Out Munsters," Spot's shadow outline is seen, giving viewers more detail as to what Spot's body looks like. The only episode in which more of his tail is seen occurs in the episode "Lily's Star Boarder", where we see the other parts of the tail that hadn't been seen before. Despite his fearsome demeanor, Spot is "afraid of his own shadow", and, adds Herman, "and I don't blame him." While Butch Patrick 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.[1] In "The Munsters Today," Spot's presence in the show is usually depicted by his fire breath emerging from the entrance to his lair. Also in the show, Spot's tail was shown in a redesigned form. In 1313 Mockingbird Lane, Spot was shown in CGI where he has the appearance of a wing-armed dragon.
