Rabbit



A Rabbit can be found on a rise above Ashford Village in Lakeside County. Unlike other creatures, the rabbit appears on the radar as a green dot like an NPC. Currently, the rabbit does not seem to be incorporated into any ingame mechanics.

The rabbit cannot be tamed by rangers using Charm Animal or killed. Thus, contrary to dictionary definition and intuition, rabbits are not considered animals as per the game definition. AoE spells don't seem to have any effect.

There are also three rabbits involved in the Factions quest Free the Fur.

You can heal or enchant the rabbit, but it is not necessary.

There are also Rabbits in Eye of the North, which are slightly reskinned (white color) and also cannot be tamed by rangers. There are some rabbits in Grothmar Wardowns. However, unlike the other rabbits, the ones found near Drakkar Lake can both turn hostile and be killed. On the other side of Drakkar Lake, there are 3 other rabbits, and following these will get you to a place filled with Spectral Vaettir once you stand in the middle. If you are going to fight them, it is recommended to prepare before they pop up.

You get a small warning about this when speaking to Sif Shadowhunter, who, upon opening a dialog says "I am Sif, great hunter of the north, slayer of ten dozen wolves, threescore bear, and one vicious rabbit." Obviously, you are not the first to follow the white rabbit into a trap.

Trivia

 * The encounter with the rabbit in Drakkar Lake and the dialog of Sif Shadowhunter make a clear reference to the rabbit in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
 * Following a white rabbit into unexpected circumstances (as you do in Drakkar Lake), has parallels with the story Alice in Wonderland, in the book, Alice followed a white rabbit into a rabbit hole.
