The Giant Man-Eating Chicken terrorizes John Denver and the Muppets in Rocky Mountain Holiday. She lives in the valley where the group is camping, walking the woods looking to exact revenge on an old prospector who once stole a handful of her feathers to keep warm.
When John warns the gang that she comes around looking for campers who have chicken feathers in their sleeping bags, Gonzo figures on tracking down the beauty for a date. He reasons that she's a man-eating chicken; she doesn't eat whatever he is.
After the chicken's story is told, and the gang sings a rousing rendition of "Grandma's Feather Bed," the monstrous fowl shows up and chases John away. He comes back alive and unharmed, however, and explains that he had escaped with his life by introducing her to a Giant Man-Eating Rooster.
