Grolliffe - a friendly ice dragon whom Noggin befriends, and who helps Noggin and his friends in a later episode. Olaf the Lofty - an eccentric and occasionally arrogant, but well-meaning, inventor. Olaf's inventions rarely work out exactly as he intends them to, although his most notable success is the Flying Machine. Graculus - a big green bird who arrives as Nooka's messenger in the first episode. Later by chance they return to the place of his birth and meet his family, who unlike him are incapable of human speech.

Noggin the Nog is a fictional character appearing in a BBC Television series (of the same name, originally broadcast 1959–1965 and 1982) and a series of illustrated books (published 1965–1977), created by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin. The television series is considered a cult classic from the golden age of British children's television. Noggin himself is the simple, kind and unassuming "King of the Northmen" in a roughly Viking Age setting, with various fantastic elements such as dragons, flying machines and talking birds. In 2020, Guinea worm was found in 1507domestic dogs in Chad, 15 in Ethiopia, and eight in Mali, as well as in 61domestic cats in Chad and three in Ethiopia. Small numbers have also been found in wildcats and baboons. [11] These findings are a potential problem for the eradication program. As of 2015 [update], the species has been reported to be near eradication. [33] The International Commission for the Certification of Dracunculus Eradication has certified 198 countries, territories, and other WHO represented areas. As of January2015, eight countries were yet to be certified as Guinea worm-free: Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Sudan, Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, and South Sudan; of these, only in Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, and South Sudan does D.medinensis remain endemic countries.

It looks like the world of Transformers is getting undead as they announce their brand new monster mash-up collaboration. Count Dracula has been summoned to the world of Autobots with a special Transformers figure named Draculus. This undead Decepticon is after one thing and one thing only, and that's to feast on the Energon of the living. Draculus captures the design of the original Universal Monsters 1931 film Dracula and will transform into an unholy bat mode in just 23 steps. Bimi, Langbong (2007).

Guinea worm is on target to be the second infectious disease of humans to be eradicated, after smallpox. It was formerly endemic to a wide swath of Africa and Eurasia; as of 2023, it remains endemic in 5 countries: Chad, Mali, South Sudan, Angola and Ethiopia, [6] with most cases in Chad. Guinea worm spread to Angola c. 2018, and it is now considered endemic there. Infection of domestic dogs is a serious complication in Chad. Members of Dracunculus are are hardy perennials. They are small to medium in size, ranging from about 45 to 90 cm (18 inches to 3 feet) in height.
