I think its Mushu. Mushu is one of the guardians in the Mulan movie, and he isn't really a entity, like he is a spirit so he would be exempt from the curse( since the curse only brought the living) as stated in the frankenstein episode, So mushu would be able to go to the land without magic or tag along, and as a guardian he is given someone to protect, so perhaps he protects pinnochio because someone made him or something. Honestly I think it has something to do with Mulan, since they have to tie her back into the story somehow im assuming... than again i'm totally guessing here.
