The puppet design for Warren first appeared as early as 1979, as one of the wolf hopefuls who audition for Kermit's production of "The Three Little Pigs" in a Season 10 skit. The brown wolf (performed here by Frank Oz) fails to land the part of The Big Bad Wolf due to his diminutive size. The same puppet would later re-appear in Episode 2487 as one of the noisy forest animals that scares Maria and Luis on their honeymoon and ransacks their campsite.
