A mysterious type of animal with magical abilities, known as a Jeep, Eugene has proved an invaluable friend to those around him and always leads those around him on fantastic experiences. Eugene is a well-recognized and beloved character and is often considered the unofficial animal mascot of the franchise. Eugene has proved to be a very popular character since his debut and is often used as a mascot for schools and other child-related organizations and events. It has even been theorized by many (including R. Lee Ermey) that the then-new Willys MB vehicle (eventually dubbed the Jeep) was named after this character: soldiers in World War II may have nicknamed the machine after the popular character because both shared an ability to "go anywhere".
