Guide — the reckless dungeon charge, on loop and fullscreen
A cartoon knight charges forever through a torchlit dungeon into a swarm of dragon whelps, with a giant battle-cry banner and a WoW-style chat overlay. Four scenes, no sound, nothing to install.Choose Classic, Strategy, VHS or Epic, or press 1 to 4. Strategy adds the doomed “32.33%” win-chance line; Epic adds golden god-rays and a slower, heroic charge.
Chaos (whelps) keeps 6 to 24 whelps in play (16, “Swarm”, by default). Charge Speed runs from Tiptoe to RAMMING and sets how fast the knight runs, the dungeon scrolls and the whelps fly.
The giant LEEEROY JENKINS! banner flashes for 1.8 seconds every 4.5 to 6.5 seconds. Press L or LEEEROY! (now) to fire one immediately.
Toggle the small floating Battle cries, the WoW chat / HUD (a chat box that adds a line every 1.4 seconds, plus health and mana globes and an action bar) and the Scanlines.
Press Enter Fullscreen, click the dungeon or press F. Move the mouse to show Exit Fullscreen; Space pauses, R resets, Esc leaves.

Leeroy Jenkins, explained
What is the Leeroy Jenkins meme?
“Leeroy Jenkins” is a World of Warcraft video posted in May 2005 by the guild PALS FOR LIFE. In Upper Blackrock Spire the group carefully talks through a plan for a room full of dragon whelps, when Leeroy, played by Ben Schulz, returns from being away, shouts his own name and charges straight in. The plan collapses and nearly everyone dies. “Leeeeeroy Jenkins!” became shorthand for recklessly rushing in without a plan. This page is an animated tribute.
Is this the original clip?
No. This is a cartoon tribute drawn with JavaScript on an HTML5 canvas. It contains no footage or audio from the original video (it makes no sound at all), and there is nothing to download or install.
What is "at least I have chicken"?
After the charge wipes the group, a teammate tells Leeroy off and Leeroy simply replies, “At least I have chicken.” It is one of the most quoted lines of the clip, and it is the last of the seven lines that cycle through the chat overlay here.
How do I make it fullscreen?
Click anywhere on the dungeon, press Enter Fullscreen or press F. Move the mouse to show the Exit Fullscreen button, which hides again after 2.5 seconds, or press Esc (or F again) to leave. Where a browser blocks the fullscreen API, the dungeon fills the browser window instead.
What can I customise?
Switch between the Classic, Strategy, VHS and Epic scenes, set the number of whelps (6 to 24) and the charge speed, and toggle the floating battle cries, the WoW-style chat and HUD, and the scanlines. The big LEEEROY JENKINS! banner always appears; the Battle cries toggle only controls the small “LEEROY!” pop-ups. Reset Defaults (or R) restores Classic with chaos and speed at 6.
