Jackalopes are a race of giant Jackalope-like Creatures of Grimm from the American animated webseries RWBY, first appearing in the 2019 novel RWBY: After the Fall.
History
Like other Grimm, Jackalopes were created by the God of Darkness in an attempt to rid the world of life, and remained even after he and the God of Light abandoned Remnant.
Jackalopes are native to the kingdom of Vacuo, wandering the deserts. One is attracted by negative emotions amplified by August Caspian's Semblance to the settlement of Feldspar, and targets a group of children that escaped the last Grimm attack. Coco Adel of Team CFVY rushes to help them, attacking the Jackalope by hitting it with the deactivated minigun. She then grabs the Grimm by the antlers and throws it over her head. The Jackalope lands on its feet and rams Coco to the ground, and begins snapping at her with its teeth. However, Coco manages to activate her gun and fire, killing the Jackalope and saving the children in the process.
Powers and Abilities
Jackalopes are best known for their powerful hind legs, which allow them to jump enormous hights and run extremely fast. They use this in conjunction with their spiked antlers and boney plates to ram and headbutt victims, then finish them off with their teeth.
