| rdfs:comment | - The cowslip plant symbolizes pensiveness and winning grace.
- Cowslip is one of fifteen herbs. It is an ingredient in aqua enamel and paint, whisking potions, and furniture.
- Cowslip was a minor antagonist in Watership Down but the part he played gave an extra adventure to the story. He was a member of the Warren of Snares, and although seems to have some authority, he claims that his warren has no Chief. He is a large rabbit, who is used to good food and safe surroundings. He becomes soft with odd behaviors like the rest of his warren. He was the first to approach Hazel and his group, keeping a deadly secret and refusing to answer questions. When Bigwig gets caught in a snare, Cowslip refuses his assistance and punished Fiver for even talking about it. It becomes obvious that Cowslip has kept their domestication a secret and allowed the Sandelford rabbits to fall victim to the daily snares so that he had that much longer to live. He traded good food and safety

| abstract | - The cowslip plant symbolizes pensiveness and winning grace.
- Cowslip was a minor antagonist in Watership Down but the part he played gave an extra adventure to the story. He was a member of the Warren of Snares, and although seems to have some authority, he claims that his warren has no Chief. He is a large rabbit, who is used to good food and safe surroundings. He becomes soft with odd behaviors like the rest of his warren. He was the first to approach Hazel and his group, keeping a deadly secret and refusing to answer questions. When Bigwig gets caught in a snare, Cowslip refuses his assistance and punished Fiver for even talking about it. It becomes obvious that Cowslip has kept their domestication a secret and allowed the Sandelford rabbits to fall victim to the daily snares so that he had that much longer to live. He traded good food and safety for the ways of wild rabbits and freedom from fear. Captian Holly, Bluebell, and Pimpernel, traveled to Cowslip's warren, looking for Hazel, Fiver, and Bigwig and Cowslip immediately ordered that they be attacked and killed. He and his rabbits attacked, killing Pimpernel and wounding Holly. Holly fought back, planning on killing one of them because of Pimpernel and easily won against the soft Cowslip. To save his own life, Cowslip admitted that Hazel, Fiver, and Bigwig were on the Down. Holly left the cowardly Cowslip with a scratch. In the book his appearance was described as 'princely'. His people were also described as such, all looking similar. They all were orange, and they had smooth fur. Most are rather large, yet they aren't good fighters, because they are fed and protected (and destroyed) by man.
