Is that the place in which KFC hired a RoboCop to store a backup copy of the Colonel’s Secret Fried Chicken Recipe?

Well, I'm sure you knew it was coming...




The Cave of Caerbannog is the home of the Legendary Black Beast of Arrrghhh (named for the last utterance of anyone who ever saw it).

It is guarded by a monster which is initially unknown.

King Arthur and his knights are led to the cave by Tim the Enchanter and find that they must face this guardian beast.

Tim verbally paints a picture of a terrible monster with "nasty, big, pointy teeth!", so terrifying that Sir Robin soils his armour at the mere description.

When the guardian appears to be an innocuous white rabbit, surrounded by the bones of the fallen, Arthur and his knights no longer take it seriously.

Ignoring Tim's warnings ("a vicious streak a mile wide!"), King Arthur orders Bors to chop the rabbit's head off.

Bors confidently approaches it, sword drawn, and is immediately decapitated by the rabbit biting clean through his neck, to the sound of a can opener.

Despite their initial shock, Sir Robin soiling his armor again, and Tim's loud scoffing, the knights attack in force.

But the rabbit injures several of the knights and kills Gawain and Ector with ease.

The knights themselves have no hope of killing or injuring the rabbit.

Arthur panics and shouts for the knights to "Run away!".

Knowing they cannot risk attacking again, they try to find another way to defeat the beast.

The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch is ultimately used to kill the rabbit and allow the quest to proceed.

Very impressive.

Alas, the complex did not save Georgia. The Mongols invaded (several times) and devastated most of the country, as was their wont.
