Muggle the Puggle is a platypus and was the official mascot of The Sunbury Event Block Party GCAP417, 22-23 March 2025. As the event launch stated: "A baby platypus is known (among other terms) as a puggle, which just so happens to rhyme with muggle. So please welcome, our Sunbury mascot…. Muggle the Puggle!"
It has been over 20 years since platypus were sighted in the Dandenong Creek. Good platypus habitat includes ensuring continuous water flow, stable banks for burrows and indigenous plantings to support macro invertebrate food sources.
