A monstrous creation of a mad scientist, Gossamer is a hulking behemoth covered in shaggy orange fur and adorned with a pair of gym sneakers. The creature originally acted as a minion of the scientist who sent the Gossamer out to capture Bugs Bunny (whom he wanted for an experiment). Were he to succeed in capturing he rabbit, Gossamer would have been rewarded with a bowl of spider goulash (yuck!).
Needless to say, Gossamer was outsmarted by Bugs Bunny but it would not be the last time the two would cross paths. The Gossamer has also shown up to bedevil Daffy Duck, Duck Dodgers and the Baby Loony Toons gang.
Mel Blanc provided the voice for Gossamer in his original appearance in the 1946 Merrie Melodies short, Hair-Raising Hare.
