	General Woundwort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Woundwort was thought to have been killed by a dog, following the botched invasion of Watership Down after being defeated in underground battle by the heroic Bigwig, who proved to be more aggressive and resilient in combat than Woundwort himself.
		Woundwort of the movie remained largely the same as Woundwort of the novel with the exception that he is blind in his left eye (a detail not mentioned anywhere in the book).
		Woundwort was thought to have been killed when a bolt of lightning hit close to him while he was on a cliff in Efrafa overseeing the fighting between his Owsla and the invading Watershippers, causing him to fall into an enormous crack in the ground.
