The bonnacon is a beast with a head like a bull, but with horns that curl in towards each other. Because these horns are useless for defense, the bonnacon has another weapon. When pursued, the beast expels its dung which travels a great distance (as much as two acres), and burns anything it touches. -- The Medieval Bestiary
I never noticed this before, but the hunter appears to be on a skateboard.

That shield isn't gonna do him much good, either.

Actually, hippos do something like this. They defecate explosively, meanwhile spinning their little tails so it shoots in all directions.
I wasn't sure if it was hippos or rhinos that did this and while looking it up, discovered that the rhino penis points backward!
I'll leave it to Gail to do any more hippo/rhino research as I have to go lead a Bible study. Yes, really!

My mother was once sprayed by a hippo at the Cincinnati Zoo.
