He did exist before the public appearance of "Banjo Frenzy" where the dinosaur (an earlier version of Lumpy) killed a rabbit character resembling him. He was the second character created for the series (the first being Shifty). Kenn Navarro provides his voice but was played by Aubrey Ankrum in "Banjo Frenzy" and serves as the mascot for the show .

Concept and creation

Cuddles is the second character to have been created before the official release of the show, next to Shifty. The concept of a yellow rabbit was first conceived when Rhode Montijo, one of the creators of the show, made a sketch of him on a piece of paper with the phrase Resistance Is Futile. This drawing gave the creators the idea of the show. The prototype design of Cuddles was used in the unreleased short, Banjo Frenzy.
