Ankle Slicer



Ankle Slicers were creatures invented for the Disney film adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and did not appear in Lewis's works. They were small reptilian creatures with parrot-like heads. They average about a foot in height. True to their name, Ankle Slicers brought down their enemies by slicing through their ankles with sharp scythes. Notably in the film, they were responsible for cutting down a charging rhinoceros.


 * Although Ankle Slicers aren't mentioned in the books, in two full-colored illustrations from the Deluxe Edition of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, in the scenes at the Stone Table and the Battle, there are small creatures amongst the Witch's forces that appear to be reptilian with bird like heads, and they may have inspired the film makers to create the ankle slicers.
