Not an original cast member. Rudolf was created by an artist for the Montgomery Ward mail-order catalog- their Christmas issue of l939. In the Clement Moore poem, there is only reference to eight tiny reindeer- if you follow this line Santa Claus has shape-altering powers as well as those of flight. the miniaturization of Santa- and all his payload- does push the imagination a bit too far, and is generally NOT part of the modern Santa Mythology- but Rudolph- since l939 indeed the leader of the pack.
