Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh [King Arthur's pronunciation: ɑ:g] is a famous creature from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The beast dwells in the Cave of Caerbannog, the entrance of which is guarded by the vicious Rabbit of Caerbannog.
In the movie, the Knights of King Arthur's Round Table, encounter the Black Beast in the Cave of Caerbannog while they are reading the carvings written by Joseph of Arimathea which tell the location of the Holy Grail. The characters are distracted by the carvings, which say that the Grail is located in the "Castle Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh", and as they try to figure out what the Castle Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh is, the Beast sneaks up on them from behind. The monster (which comically appears in the film as an animation) then eats the scholar Brother Maynard and Sir Alf (whose death was cut out of the film) and chases the fleeing knights.
Arthur and his men are unable to combat the beast and are almost killed by it, until the animator (Terry Gilliam) inexplicably suffers a fatal heart attack, thus ending the ‘cartoon peril.’
