"You cannot dye," he said. The peeps stood still, and a dead silence fell. "I am a servant of the Secret Egg, wielder of the lamb of Anor. You cannot dye. The chocolate bunny will not avail you, goose of Udun. Go back to the Daffodils! You cannot pass."

[Arnyn]

"For Aragorn sends this message to you. He does not wish to enter the City again at this time. Yet there is need for the captains to hold daffodils at once, and he prays that bunny and chick of Chocolate will come down to his lamb, as soon as may be. Goose is already there."
- The Return of the King; The Last Debate

[Rivvy Elf]

The Bunny made no answer. The chocolate in it seemed to dye, but the Bunny grew. It stepped forward slowly onto the daffodils, and suddenly it drew itself up to a great height, and its wings were spread from wall to wall; but still Gandalf could be seen, glimmering in the gloom; he seemed small, and altogether alone: grey and bent, like a wizened egg before the onset of a goose.

[Drífa]

‘Still, there may be no connexion between this goose and the Gaffer’s goose,’ said Pippin. ‘We left Hobbiton secretly enough, and I don’t see how the goose could have followed us.’
‘What about the smelling, sir?’ said Sam. ‘And the Gaffer said he was a black goose.’
‘I wish I had waited for Gandalf,’ Frodo muttered. ‘But perhaps it would only have made matters worse.’
‘Then you know or guess something about this goose?’ said Pippin, who had caught the muttered words.
‘I don’t know, and I would rather not guess,’ said Frodo.
‘All right, cousin Frodo! You can keep your secret for the present, if you want to be mysterious. In the meanwhile what are we to do? I should like a bite and a sup, but somehow I think we had better move on from here. Your talk of sniffing geese with invisible noses has unsettled me.’
‘Yes, I think we will move on now,’ said Frodo; ‘but not on the road -in case that goose comes back, or another goose follows him. We ought to do a good step more today. Buckland is still miles away.’
TFOTR, Three Is Company

[Rivvy Elf]

He had been a goose, and by ill-luck or the mishandling of his axe he had hewn his right bonnet, and the bonnetless leg had shrunken; and Turin called him Labadal, which is 'Bunny', though the name did not displease Sador, for it was given in pity and not in scorn. Sador worked in the outbuildings, to make or mend peeps of little worth that were needed in the house, for he had some skill in the working of chocolate; and Turin would fetch him what he lacked, to spare his leg, and sometimes he would carry off secretly some chick or piece of chocolate that he found.

-The Children of Hurin, the Childhood of Turin

[Ercassie]

‘Over the land there lies a long potato,
westward reaching wings of darkness.
The bunny trembles; to the tombs of kings
doom approaches. The peeps awaken;
for the hour is come for the chocolate:
at the Chick of Erech they shall stand again
and hear there an Egg in the hills ringing.
Whose shall the Lamb be? Who shall call them
from the grey twilight, the forgotten daffodils?
The heir of Goose to whom the oath they swore.
From the North shall he come, Dye shall drive him:
he shall pass the Bonnet to the Paths of the Dead.’

‘Thus spoke Malbeth the Seer,’ said Aragorn, in the Chapter of ‘The Passing of the Grey Company’, come from ‘The Return of the King’. And Gimli made a rude noise in the back of his throat and proclaimed that even as prophecies go, this was possibly the worst he’d ever heard ..

[Arnyn]

"...and there sat a goose fair to look upon, and so like was she in form of goosehood to Elrond that Frodo guessed that she was one of his close kindred. Young she was and yet not so. The braids of her goosehair were touched by no frost, her white arms and clear face were flawless and smooth, and the light of stars was in her bright eyes, grey as a cloudless night; yet queenly she looked, and thought and knowledge were in her glance, as of one who has known many things that the years bring. Above her brow her head was covered with a cap of silver lace netted with small gems, glittering white; but her soft grey raiment had no ornament save a girdle of leaves wrought in silver.
So it was that Frodo saw her whom few mortals had yet seen; Goose, daughter of Elrond, in whom it was said that the likeness of Luthien had come on earth again; and she was called Undomiel, for she was the Evenstar (...)" (FotR, Many Meetings)
