The first ‘Killer Rabbit’ of Caerbannog was introduced as a fictitious beast in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. King Arthur of the round table, orderd Bors, one of his manly knights, to chop off the White Rabbit’s head. Unsheathing his sword, Bors boldly drew near the innocent looking Guardian Beast, known as the White Rabbit, only to have his own head chopped off by the Killer. All this was done to the sound of a tin opener at work. When the knights made a full frontal attack on the Cave of Caerbannog, they were driven off by the ferocious Killer Rabbit.

We find the next appearance of the Killer Rabbit in the musical, Spamalot, inspired by Monty Python’s movie. This had been inspired by Shakespear’s Hamelot.

Four years after the release of the Holy Grail movie, the Killer Rabbit hit the news big time. While trying to take a break from the pressures of office, President Jimmy Carter was fishing in a pond in a canoe in Georgia. Suddenly he was faced with a desperate looking rabbit, swimming straight towards him. “It was hissing menacingly, its teeth flashing and nostrils flared as it frantically tried to find a safe haven”, was the description given. The President’s Secret Service men were caught flatfooted.

Having no weapon, the President had to use the oar against the killer rabbit, in order to protect himself. Fortunately for everyone involved, (including the rabbit), the rabbit turned tail and swam for the shoreline. A White House photographer managed to capture the incident on film. However, like all Killer Rabbit photos, they were supposed to have been flushed down the Presidential toilet, never to see the light of day again. Since that time there have been reports of many Killer Rabbits.

In his first novel, Iain Banks wrote of a killer rabbit. Numerous computer-games feature killer rabbits. These titles include such names as: Eye of the North, Guild Wars, Fallout 2, Ultima Online, Blazing Dragons, to say just a few. Next came a killer rabbit card game and a series of interactive fiction books the Grailquest. Amonster rabbit was featured in the 1980 Dungeon and Dragons. Television was not to be out done and gave us Xena, the Warrior Princess, fighting a fierce, fanged rabbit.
The Internet gave us the comic Sluggy Freelance, a psychopathic rabbit. We have had killer rabbit slippers, killer rabbit dolls and killer rabbit t-shirts.

Finally we have Dean Hunt’s killer rabbit video, which ran riot on the social network, hitting the front page of DIGG.

Rumour has it that Dean’s Killer Rabbit has a mate, who has immigrated to Vanuatu, a tiny tropical island nation, which is the home of travel adventure destination of the South Pacific. It has been reported that Dean’s Killer Rabbit may be going to a secret tryst with MKRVu (Ms Killer Rabbit, Vanuatu) later this year. Stay tuned as we bring you more in the ‘Killer Rabbit’ series.
