Wolpertinger
The
Wolpertinger (also called
Wolperdinger) is a fictitious animal supposedly living in the
alpine forests of
Bavaria in
Germany.
It has body parts of various animals - generally wings,
antlers and fangs, all attached to the body of a small
mammal.
Stuffed Wolpertingers, composed of parts of real stuffed animals, are often displayed or sold as tourist souvenirs in their "native regions".
