Of scary monsters...

---

I find this particular creature fascinating. Half rabbit, half devil, all angry. And he wants you to drink his brew. It contains bee honey and red wine, he exclaims. 40% alcohol by volume.

The "Wolpertinger" (translation: Wolper-thinger) is a kind of local legend, like the Yeti or Batman. No one knows if he really exists.

I am not aware of any Wolpertinger sighting/hunting expeditions, but that might be a very good tourism idea. Venturing out into the night, with binoculars/hunting rifle, drunk on Wolpertinger, trying to find/kill a Wolpertinger. Actually, I am not sure if they are nocturnal. Maybe I haven't thought this through well enough.

I shouldn't have drunk half that bottle.

(Blogger's note: I am not aware of any type of honey other than bee honey, but he does specify. Do wasps make honey? Some kind of bee-like ant? Anyone want to help me out here?)

Wolpertinger!
I am much like the rabbit from Monty Python, but drunk and German! That makes me certainly even more quarrelsome!

Jackalope
Hello Father! Thank you for the info. As an update, I have found many Wolpertinger/Jackalope skulls in various places for sale. Perhaps an Australian/German culture for money exchange, rich scheme?
