Gawain was a green frog with a round head and wide-set eyes who debuted in The Frog Prince. Of the many frogs to debut in that special as Kermit's friends, Gawain had the most speaking lines and was only one of four to be given a name.
The Gawain puppet would later be reused as background player on The Muppet Show, although he was never again referred to by this name and his performer was not consistent.
The Frog Scout Leader Kermit action figure released by Palisades Toys included a frog scout figure that was modeled on Gawain.
