A wolpertinger in-game.

Wolpertingers are small hare-like critters who have the head, body, feet, and tail of a hare with bird wings, antlers, and fangs. They only appear during Brewfest, as they are attracted to the scents of the festival, and can only be seen by drunk characters. Many a drunken Brewfest goer has told the tale of this mysterious creature, but few remember that tale in the morning.

A drunk hunter can track them using beast tracking.
