In Monty Python and the Holy Grail, what is the name of the cave guarded by the killer rabbit?

In Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the killer rabbit guards the Cave of Caerbannog.

King Arthur and his knights encounter the apparently harmless white rabbit while searching for the Holy Grail. The creature suddenly attacks, killing several knights and creating one of the film’s best-known comic reversals. Arthur’s group eventually defeats it with the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

The scene parodies the dangerous guardians and supernatural obstacles common in medieval quest romances. Instead of a dragon or giant beast, the film presents an ordinary-looking rabbit as a terrifying enemy. The absurd contrast is central to the movie’s style of comedy.

The cave’s name is spelled “Caerbannog” in the film’s subtitles and related references. It should not be confused with Camelot, the legendary court associated with King Arthur, or with the castle locations used during filming. The rabbit scene takes place during the knights’ journey and is separate from the film’s later search for the Grail at Castle Aarrgh.
