Rudolph's reindeer are named Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. However, Dasher and Vixen are absent from the song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" in the original animated special and 1964 Rankin/Bass movie. Dasher and Vixen are mentioned in the lyrics "All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names" but are not named in the song, nor do they appear in the movie.
