Other Abilities / Powers / Notes:

  1. Jackalopes and Wolpertingers are Leporid Monsters.  Wolpertingers are Chaotic Monsters.
  2. Jackalopes are Monsters of the Grasslands, especially the Western and Southern Plains.  Wolpertingers are a Chaotic variant of Jackalopes that inhabit Taur-Galen, especially the Southern and Western fringes, and the Blasted Waste out towards the Wall. Both also inhabit the Leporid Dream Kingdoms of Hares (The Endless Plains) and Rabbits (The Summer Fields).
  3. They are swift runners over open terrain and Jackalopes will break and run away if losing in combat.  Wolpertingers are more unpredictable.
  4. Stuffed trophies of Jackalopes and Wolpertingers on sale in Tehmor and Lightwater Crossing are invariably fakes.  Some Alchemists in Taur-Galen, the Grasslands and Tehmor will pay for whole bodies of Jackalopes or Wolpertingers as Alchemical Materials.  They require the whole body to prove they are not fakes.
