The Wolpertinger is a mythical creature from Bavarian folklore, particularly prevalent in the Alpine regions of Germany and Austria. It's often described as a fantastical hybrid creature, resembling a rabbit or hare with antlers, wings, and other assorted features from different animals.

The appearance of this critter can vary widely depending on the specific legend or depiction, but the most common elements include the body of a rabbit or hare, antlers similar to those of a deer or stag and wings like those of a bird or bat. But many descriptions also include fangs and even duck feet or raptor talons! When visiting hunting lodges or drinking establishments in its home range, you may even be lucky enough to spot a rare Wolpertinger mount on display. (If you do, please let me know about the fangs, okay?)

Legends surrounding the Wolpertinger often portray it as a mischievous and elusive creature, living in dense forests or remote mountainous areas. It's said to be shy and rarely seen by humans, preferring to remain hidden away from prying eyes, which makes it an excellent choice for quarry when planning your next snipe hunt!
