And we thought they were annoying enough when they stayed dead!

Nice job. Watership Down is one of my all-time favorite books, and one of the most appealing aspects of it is the very obvious non-human nature of the protagonists. Rather than being anthropomorphized animals, they're quite simply animals. Sure, some liberty is taken with giving them a language and more culture than they have in reality, but they are definitely not humans, and that is the charm of the book--it lets you read about people who are very different from anything you are likely to encounter, without confusing you with their alien nature. To read a story where someone turned them into furry humans would justifiably enrage anyone!

Good first kill, interesting agents, etc., etc.
