Oibadrisch is a folkloric creature of the Bavarian alps, this animal that stills rare. Naturalist Buffon did not completely believe in their existence. He believed that "this change, even if it really exists, is only a change in individuals. It is likely that the hare cannot find grass to eat in that place, so it can only feed on wood, bark, shoots, moss, etc." However, the legend of the horned rabbit did not spread widely compared to the wolpertinger, and in the 19th century, naturalists completely abandoned them. But they did not disappear, because hunters never stopped talking about them. The oibadrischl is more closely associated with the Wolpertinger than the Jackalope, especially in Bavarian and Austrian folklore.
A charming and obscure-sounding creature will appears to be a regional or dialectal term, likely from Bavarian or Austrian German. In those dialects, “Oibadrischl” (or variants like “Eibadrischl”) is a humorous or affectionate word used to describe as a small, clumsy, or funny-looking person or creature—often a child or animal. Sometimes used to mean something like “little goofball” or “muddler.”
They described this creature as a hare with wide-eyed dormouse with twitchy whiskers and tiny antlers like a young deer. Their body is plump and fuzzy ike a marmot, with tufts of fur sticking out at odd angles. Mismatched—one bat wing, one butterfly wing (barely enough to glide). One of their limbs are mismatched; the front legs of a badger (for digging), hind legs of a frog (for hopping). A bushy tail like a red squirrel, but often dragging twigs and leaves it’s collected. They always look like it just got caught stealing schnapps.

Legend says “If you leave out a thimble of beer and a boiled potato on a moonless night, the Oibadrischl may visit—and in return, it might tidy up your fireplace or leave a pinecone shaped like a heart.”
