Gossamer

"People!"

Gossamer is the giant, fur-covered orange monster in sneakers who chases Bugs Bunny through a mad scientist’s castle. He looks terrifying, but he is easily rattled, and Bugs defeats him with a manicure and a well-timed reminder that the audience is watching. Chuck Jones made him one of the funniest examples of a hulking villain undone by a small, calm hero.
