Figment, a small purple dragon, is the mascot of the Imagination! pavilion at the Epcot theme park at Walt Disney World Resort. He first appeared in March 1983 in the pavilion's Journey Into Imagination dark ride, in which Dreamfinder, a jolly wizard-like scientist, created him and taught him how to use his imagination.
A 1998 refurbishment reduced Figment's role in the attraction and was replaced in the main role with Eric Idle (of Monty Python fame) as Dr. Nigel Channing, leading a tour of the Imagination Institute. Fans complained about Figment's absence, and so a 2001 refurbishment put Figment back into the attraction, where he now teases Dr. Channing throughout.
In the original ride, he was voiced by Billy Barty and in the current one he is voiced by Muppeteer Dave Goelz.
