The battle pit is a location in Darkhaven from the TV series. It is where Darkhaven warriors fight for their ranks within the warren.

History

When Campion is first brought to Darkhaven, Spartina brings him to the battle pit and Campion chooses to fight Granite for the rank of chief. Campion wins, and Shale and Feldspar are upset about an outsider becoming chief. When they complain about Granite losing, Campion offers to fight them both one by one, but they both decline and Shale threatens to attack Campion when they're not in the battle pit.

Despite Campion winning on multiple occasions, Granite continues to challenge him for his leadership role, and does not stop until the Dark One takes over leadership. General Woundwort challenges Campion for the chieftainship, which Campion abdicates without a fight, vowing to serve Woundwort again.

The battle pit is not seen again until some Darkhaven warriors are seen training for the final battle. Before the final battle starts, Woundwort gives a speech about destroying Watership Down at the top of the battle pit.

Trivia

• Despite the battle pit being where the Darkhaven warriors take the ranks of another, Vervain fights Granite to regain his role as Woundwort's advisor outside of the pit. Instead, Vervain knocks a stack of tires over Granite and kicks him multiple times until he submits. Granite becomes upset because this isn't how fighting is done in Darkhaven.
