gianthareДо последнего времен было доступно исключительно мало информации о происхождении Гигантского Зайца. Фактически, был известенo единственное упоминание о Гигантском Зайце, обнаруженное ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

* Giant Hare (AKA Gigantskij Zayaz) is the mythological hero known by his manner of sitting showing only his back side to the spectators. The so-called patriarchs of the Tan epoch reported their acquaintance with Giant Hare, but their evidences may as well be considered as a whimsical way of getting the state of enlightenment.
Some rare murals showing Giant Hare can still be found on the walls, and the only written mention of him is known to be in the "Book of Zlydens" that is now unfortunately lost.
Nevertheless, the salient figure of Giant Hare holds its place, and will continue to hold it, for he is too closely connected with the finest productions of poetry and art, both ancient and modern, to pass into oblivion.
