Mudwell the Mudbunny was a brown rabbit-like creature who appeared in the Fraggle Rock episode "Gone, But Not Forgotten". Mudwell dies in the episode, leaving his friend Wembley to learn about the cycle of death and rebirth, through his subsequent reincarnation in the form of a Lizard.
For a time, Mudwell was recycled along with other Fraggle Rock puppets in several Muppet productions. In The Muppet Christmas Carol, the puppet was used as a female background character. During the "Scrooge" number, she appeared alongside Murray and Begoony as a poor family suffering under Ebenezer Scrooge's tyranny. The puppet then appeared in Muppet Time segments as Wally, where he was performed by David Rudman and had different eyes.
In Muppet Treasure Island, Mudwell appears as one of the pirates on Long John Silver's side and operates Dead Tom. He ironically cries over Dead Tom's "death" at the hands of Silver. Walleye Pike then reminds him that Dead Tom is already dead. Here, he was performed by Dave Goelz. However, Bill Barretta provided his singing voice for his brief solo in "Sailing for Adventure."
Mudwell was later seen as Flash Harry, Mr. Hoofit, and Rudy Monster in Mopatop's Shop.
