Biography:
In Gyro's First Invention Don Rosa shows that Little Helper was constructed in 1952. He is buildt of a lamp previous owned by Donald Duck which some mysterious way become alive and intelligent when Donald accidentally hit Gyro in his head with it so that Gyro's head hit his unfinished mindbox. Later Gyro gave the main part of the lamp mechanical legs and arms so that it could be able to cross obstacles. To avoide vibrations while moving it was also equipped with dolls shoes (The same type Gyro had previously done for April, May and June), and finally Donald put on a light bulb so that it could light up it's surroundings.
Don Rosa also shows that Little Helpers first mission was to enter the badger's hole where $crooge previously (in the Barks classic A Christmas For Shacktown) used a toy-train to get back his money.
In The Once and Future Duck Don Rosa shows that Little Helper was the one that drew King Arthur's sword "Excalibur" out of the stone.
