It would be impossible for Rudolph alone to pull Santa's sleigh as it is filled with gifts to the brim for every good child in the world. Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, is in fact, Santa's ninth reindeer. And there are eight other reindeers who help him. These eight reindeers are Cupid, Dancer, Vixen, Dunder, Comet, Dasher, Prancer, and Blixem.
