Man

Man is the unseen main antagonist of the book and 1942 film Bambi and its midquel. In the film, he was responsible for the death of Bambi's mother when he shot her during hunting season. Near the end of the film, Man returns to the forest with hunting dogs to help him kill more deer and the rest of the forest's animals. However, Man left his campfire lit, which caused a massive forest fire. Despite poplaur belief Man is only one person.

Despite not actually appearing in the film at all, the character is famous for causing the death of Bambi's Mother, one of the most famously tragic scenes in Disney history. "Man" was ranked number 20 on the American Film Institute's list of the top 50 film villains of all time, being one of only 3 Disney villains on the list (along with The Queen and Cruella De Vil, the hunter being the middle ranked of the three) and beating out such famous villains as Maleficent, Jafar, Scar and many others.

Man's Dogs
The vicious hunting dogs were used by Man to track down Faline. They were relentless and violent; luckily, Bambi was able to hold them back and give Faline enough time to escape. When they began chasing after Bambi, he climbed up an unstable rocky ledge, which caused a rock slide that has the dogs fall down. Their fate is unknown after this.
