ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Wolpertinger

A wolpertinger is a mythical creature that is a mix of different animals. It's kind of like playing a fun game of mix and match with different animal parts. Imagine taking the wings of a bird, the antlers of a deer, the tail of a rabbit, and the body of a squirrel and putting them together to make one creature - that's what a wolpertinger is like! People in a certain part of Germany created this idea a long time ago just for fun, and now it's become a popular imaginary creature. It's silly and make-believe, but it's fun to imagine what different animal parts would look like mixed together!
