Evinrude

Evinrude is the name of a dragonfly who is a resident of Devil's Bayou. He is used as a speedboat for transportation for small animals. He appears in the 1977 animated film, The Rescuers. He was voiced by Jimmy MacDonald, who also voiced Jaq and Gus from Cinderella, though Evinrude does not speak, and therefore he does not have any lines.
==History==
===The Rescuers===
Ellie Mae recommends Bernard and Bianca to use Evinrude as the fastest speedboat. He takes the two mice to rescue Penny kidnapped by the wicked Madame Medusa. Bianca asks Evinrude to slow down when almost approaching Medusa's riverboat hideout. Evinrude gets exhausted, but later recharges, and is there to save Bernard and Bianca from drowning as they leap from the riverboat to escape Medusa and her crocodiles. Later that night, Evinrude is sent by Bernard to get help from Ellie Mae. On the way, however, he is chased and attacked by a flock of bats looking to eat him. Evinrude evades them by hiding in an abandoned bottle. 
The next morning, Evinrude wakes up and notices the flock of bats asleep in the cave. In one last desperate rush, he flies the remaining distance to Ellie Mae's house, but quickly tires as the hungry bats begin to pursue him again. Evinrude avoids them by flying down the chimney, landing unceremoniously in Ellie Mae's stove. Covered in soot, he is almost too exhausted to carry on, but a drop of Luke's moonshine replenishes his energy. With a trumpeting bugle noise, Evinrude leads Ellie Mae, Luke and the neighboring swamp creatures in a charge to the riverboat to find Penny and defeat Madame Medusa.
That Christmas, Evinrude is seen flying into the Rescue Aid Society hideout with a message for Bernard and Bianca, asking for help. After they accept the mission, he then helps Orville the Albatross prepare for the next mission during a snowstorm. He is last seen snuggling in adorably with Bernard and Bianca as they take off on their mission.
Neither he nor his Devil's Bayou friends were ever seen or mentioned in the sequel.
