History Characters / WatershipDown

* HotBlooded: He's is the most hot-headed rabbit out of all the characters and will not simply let you push him around. Even more so in the remake where he's very brash and way more aggressive in the original.

* ShroudedInMyth: By the end of the novel, the adventures of Hazel-rah have become incorporated into the tales of Elahrairah.

Hazel's younger brother, a prophet whose visions spur Hazel to leave.

* {{Tuckerization}}: "Rowsby Woof" was also the name of a celebrated violin instructor at the Royal Academy of Music; One of Adams's daughters was having trouble with one of his pieces, so he told her he'd "take care of him" by writing him into a story as a stupid guard dog.

* TheGenericGuy: In the best way possible. Buckthorn is tough without being overly irascable, sensible enough to never screw anything up without being brilliant enough to stand out, and pleasant to everyone without being the type to get involved in emotional situations.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In the miniseries, he doesn't ask El-ahrairah to restrain his peopl before he gives the predators their skills.

* TheTrickster: He's considered a role model for it, with his schemes including aquiring King Darzin's lettuce and Prince Rainbow's carrots.

%%* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: Lucy saving Hazel.

* HumansAreCthulhu: Portrayed by the rabbits as a mix between a race of elil, [[GreaterScopeVillain Greater Scope Villains]] and [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]]. Other elil have ''understandable'' motives; they kill rabbits for food, sometimes because they plain don't like them -- but humans are totally incomprehensible.

* FunnyForeigner: Heavily accented speech, strange habits, and goofiness.

* AdaptedOut: Most adaptations ever seem to be able to fit him in, until the 2023 graphic novel where he makes his first appearance outside of the original book.

* AdaptedOut: Have never appeared outside the original book.

* AdaptedOut: No adaptations ever seem to be able to fit him in.

* {{Seer}}: Usually in the form of DreamingOfThingsToCome, but he has psychic abilities when he's awake as well.

* NoSell: El-ahrairah's efforts to defeat the Black Rabbit are completely futile.

* UncannyValley: Invoked. Dandelion's description makes him rabbit-shaped, but not a rabbit. He digs a burrow like any rabbit, except that it's through solid stone: he sniffs like any rabbit, but "thrusts his nose forward, like a dog" rather than wiggling it side-to-side.

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: He's killed and mutilated rivals and upstarts to stay at the top of the heap.

* HeelFaceTurn: Sent to spy on Watership Down, she finds their happy ways so different and more appealing than those of Darkhaven, and can't bring herself to sell them out to Woundwort. [[spoiler:However, Vervain tricks her into giving herself up, and Woundwort learns where the Down is anyway.

* SoleSurvivor: She tells Fiver that she's the last surviving member of her clan, [[ShownTheirWork as European badgers are social animals]].

Frith's deputy and right-hand man on Earth, who has "the power of the sky and the power of the hills." He tries to keep El-ahrairah in check, which lands him the role of antagonist in some stories, but in others he's more friendly and even helps El-ahrairah out with good advice.

* TheDreaded: The Black Rabbit of Inlé is not evil, but in the book he is ''terrifying''. In his presence even El-ahrairah cannot think straight, and therefore loses all of the Black Rabbit's games. In the film, Hazel doesn't react with fear, but with reverence.
* EveryBodyHatesHades: Subverted in the first tv series. At first it seems like he's a SatanicArchetype being summoned left and right by the villains. However, the third season reveals he's extremely pissed off at this and uses Campion as his champion to bring down Woundwort.

* AscendedExtra: Clover gets a much bigger role in the Netflix series, becoming Hazel's Love Interest.

* AdaptedOut: He does not appear in the animated film and the Netflix series, leaving only Kehaar as the only non-rabbit ally for the rabbits of Watership.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Told by Spartina to kill Blackberry as a fallback plan, after Blackberry saves him when he gets hit by a rock, Granite can't bring himself to hurt her and even defends her from the other Darkhaven warriors.

* DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler:The Black Rabbit drags all of the Darkhaven rabbits away to the land of the dead after being summoned by Silverweed. Shale and Fedlspar are among them when this happens.]]

* CanonForeigner: Exclusive to the tv series.

%%* GreaterScopeVillain: Elil above the other elil.
