The Bonnacon.

bonnacon

You’ve heard of the gryphon, the dragon, and the basilisk, but they’re nothing compared to the bonnacon:

The bonnacon is a beast with a head like a bull, but with horns that
curl in towards each other. Because these horns are useless for
defense, the bonnacon has another weapon. When pursued, the beast
expels its dung which travels a great distance (as much as two acres),
and burns anything it touches. — The Medieval Bestiary

    Awesome. I'm speachless. That guy looks more upset than, you know, burnt to death. He's all "crap, this stuff doesn't wash out."

    And look at the bonnacon's expression. Priceless.

    I've been using the bonnacon as a symbol for internet interaction for a while now. We've all seen netizens defend themselves with flaming bullsh*t, after all.

    That poor bonnacon looks very constipated.

    The bonnacon has nothing on Rosie O'Donnell.

    The bonnacon looks a lot like the Arabian Oryx.

    Fascinating. I know some people with the same weapon.

    Looks like Mister Bonnacon eats my husband's five-alarm jambalaya...
