Gossamer is an animated character in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons.

His body is perched on two giant tennis shoes, and his heart-shaped face is composed of only two oval eyes and a wide mouth, with two hulking arms ending in dirty, clawed fingers.

[8] Animator Chuck Jones introduced the unnamed monster in the 1946 cartoon Hair-Raising Hare.

[9] In it, Bugs Bunny is lured to the lair of a mad scientist (a caricature of actor Peter Lorre).

In need of a live brain for his giant robot, the mad scientist (this time a caricature of Boris Karloff) releases Rudolph from his chamber on a mission to capture Bugs Bunny; the monster shows a sudden burst of joyousness and quickly sets out when the mad scientist promises the reward of "spider goulash" for capturing the rabbit.
