"What?" is appropriate

This is the fabled Wolpertinger of Germany and Bavaria. Unlike most native fauna, the wolpertinger is actually benefiting from human expansion as it's natural habitat is gift shops and mantles of incredibly tacky people. It is the equivalent of our jackalope or a Swedish skvader. The wolpertingers vary widely in shape and size, but are commonly assortments of wings, horns and avian feet on a small mammal such as a ferret, rabbit, or squirrel, but you know what small mammals are already.

The only bit of useful information that can be gleaned from this whole episode is that jackalopes and wolpertingers alike are thought to derive from rabbits afflicted with papilomavirus. This virus afflicts most species of animal on the planet and exists in many form that do nothing harmful whatsoever. Certain types of rabbits can catch a serious strain of the stuff that causes horn like growths.
