Black Rabbit of Inlé

The Black Rabbit of Inlé is the grim reaper of the Rabbits and is extremely powerful.

Appearance
He is completely black with red eyes.

Personality
The Black Rabbit has a dark, sinister and menacing voice and even General Woundwort bows in his presence.

Despite being tasked with taking dead creatures to the Shadow Realm, the Black Rabbit does not want the Shadow Realm to be brought to Earth by Woundwort's madness, asserting that his empire is not for the world of the living, and no creature should use his name for their own dark purposes.

Despite his dark reputation in rabbit folklore, the Black Rabbit is not truly evil; he only carries out his task so that the rabbits will never be destroyed, and will unleash terrible vengeance on any who kill them without his consent.

He spends the entire third series subtly helping the Watership Down rabbits, and Campion in particular (to whom he appears in dreams or visions) in order to defeat Woundwort.

Despite this, he is unwilling to help them unless they give him something in return and therefore ages Silverweed to the point of near death when he uses the Magic to summon him.

Powers, Skills and Abilities
Although he is only capable of physically appearing through the power of magic, the Black Rabbit has the ability to enter dreams and manipulate events from the Shadow Realm.

His immense and terrifying power is shown in the final episode when he takes control of the wind, blows away Woundwort's entire army and takes them to the Shadow Realm, before vanishing without a trace.

Weapons
None.

Family
None.

Voice Actor
Stephen Mangan.
