Rabbit of Caerbannog

The Rabbit of Caerbannog, also known as The Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, was a creature which appeared in the 1975 comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Description
Initially described as a horrific creature with “nasty big pointy teeth” and “a vicious streak a mile wide,” when it was actually encountered the creature appeared as nothing more than a harmless white rabbit. However, it was capable of killing three knights in full plate mail, and putting to rout several others.

History
When King Arthur and his men approached the Cave of Caerbannog, they saw that the monster they had been expecting was nothing more than what seemed to be a harmless little bunny, although it was surrounded by the gnawed bones of many vanquished enemies. Ordering his men to attack, the Killer Rabbit promptly leapt at one of Arthur’s knights and decapitated him, before killing another two and causing the remainder to run in terror. Realising that they had no chance of defeating the monster in hand-to-hand combat, Arthur ordered one of his men to use the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch to dispatch the beast, allowing the rest of the party to continue on their quest unmolested.
