 Bigwig is the main fighter of the group of rabbits.  Once a Captain of the Owsla, he left without permission with Fiver and the others on the word from Fiver that the warren was facing descruction.  Played by Michael Graham Cox, Bigwig tones down a bit allowing Hazel to take over as the leader while he himself takes the risk in going into Efrafa to get some does.  It wasn't until the end of the film where he was fighting Woundwort that Bigwig admitted that he was fighting on orders from his chief where before everyone thought he was the chief at least from Efrafa side.
