Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a legendary reindeer, created by Robert Lewis May, usually depicted as a young fawn who barely has antlers, with a glowing red nose, popularly known as "Santa's Ninth Reindeer." When depicted, he is the lead reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh on. The luminosity of his nose is so great that it illuminates the team's path through inclement.

Perhaps the most well-known version of all the Rudolph adaptations is a 1964 stop-motion movie in which Rudolph is born to Donner the Reindeer and Donner's wife. Rather than being euthanized at birth as his father wished, Rudolph is allowed to grow with his unique gift and reach his full potential. With it, he helped Santa Claus achieve glory save Christmas.
