Talk:Rabbit

Double-Checking something
When a ranger attempts to charm a rabbit, does it complain invalid target, or does the rabbit remain uncharmed after the skill casts fully, or some other kind of failure? -PanSola 01:08, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Invalid Target. --Rainith 01:12, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Speculation?
"It has been theorized that the rabbit exists as a nod to the cult-comedy movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail which has a vicious rabbit in one scene."

I think that should be deleted as unfounded speculation. Or if it does have backing, state it. --User:Number Theory 20:48, 5 January 2006 (UTC)


 * The rabbit in the movie is white, isn't it? -- 07:16, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Seeing as they have several Holy Grail references already, the most recent of which being The Knights Who Say Nian, it wouldn't suprise me if this was another nod in that direction. Tsukan
 * Maybe the rabbit is Gwen's? Inniss 1428 17:07, 18 November 2006 (CST)
 * i think the gw:en rabbits that go hostile could definitely be a reference... --71.35.201.249 19:38, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

It could be a Matrix reference. "Follow the white rabbit" Rhia Aryx 23:07, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Maybe its just ambiance. they are cute and amusing. &mdash; ♥ Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 23:50, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

When you talk to Sif in Sifhalla she says "I am Sif, great hunter of the North ... and one vicious rabbit." SacredZero 06:33, 17 September 2007 (CDT)

The Matrix comment was a nood at alice in wonderland....71.61.163.146 19:10, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

General NPC???

 * It's got the NPC color, not the regular animal or mob color. -PanSola 14:17, 24 April 2006 (CDT)

Factions wabbit
Theres another! Luckily they kept him caged... | Chuiu 04:04, 27 April 2006 (CDT)

Easter Bunny
Maybe this rabbit is the source of easter eggs in the game.

Another caged rabbit
Found along the main road from shing jea to tsumei about in the middle and slightly south of the road, N/NW from Ronsu, past the mountain. Is it just me... or did these things just "pop" up recently?


 * They're part of Ranger-only beginner quest Free the Fur. Caths 13:49, 23 November 2006 (CST)

my apoligies
What I saw was for the ranger secondary in factions, please delete this and my previous post.. sorry >_<

That rabbit has a mean streak a mile wide!

GW:EN Rabbit
Of all things seen to drop a tribal blade. Yamagawa 01:30, 27 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Now how did that get there? &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zoldon (talk &bull; contribs) 01:00, October 14, 2007 (CDT).
 * Can't you see? Obviously the rabbits are planning a revolt against all of the ppl that tried to kill them in past campaigns (and phailed). And he thought he could get away unnoticed with tht tribal blade sticking out of his fur... stupid rabbit, planning visciously brutal rebellions against people that you hate are for kids.--[[Image:Marcopolo47 signature new.jpg]] (Talk) (Contr.) 02:20, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Wabbits!! [[Image:ShadyGuy.jpg]] 13:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

after quest completion
appears area is no longer accessable. was blocked off this morning when gwen went live. had finished the quest during the preview. could still see the rabbits and chests down there. just no way to farm the spawns for faction Palewook 12:12, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

trivia
wtf? this isn't a reference to anything but Monty Python!!-- (Talk) (Contr.) 20:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree. I think it is both a reference to Python AND Alice and perhaps some other more obscure bunny references.  Just a note:  I did not write or add the Alice in Wonderland bit, merely modified it in an attempt to make it easier to comprehend.  I also removed the original posters Disney blurb because I would be willing to bet real-world money Anet was NOT thinking of Walt Disney when they decided to put the bunny there.  --[[Image:Aldora_wikisig.jpg]]--02:21, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

anyone?
Anyone think it kinda suspicious that a seemingly un-important "ambient" effect has its very own mini pet? Maybe more bunny references to come. Maybe the bunny hides the easter eggs? :-p 24.29.235.249 16:05, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Matrix Reference
Could this possibly be a reference to the Matrix, where Morpheus tells Neo to "Follow the White Rabbit," resulting in his eventual capture by agents? I didn't add it yet, but opinions maybe? --Joseph Leito 15:25, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the matrix reference is from Alice in Wonderland, and that's already mentioned, so I don't think it's fully necessary. --JonTheMon 15:28, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Funny, I could swear the Matrix was mentioned the last time I looked over this article. I agree that it's not necessarily necessary though. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 15:29, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

ambient animals
Well, the rabbit can't be interacted with, so I'd still count it as ambient. But of course the definition just got changed... --◄mendel► 00:06, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * That page needs a pic of the ambient crabs in Dajkah Inlet. I'd get it myself, but I'm trying to do biology homework... If it isn't up tommorow I can go get it. I'd also say the rabbit is ambient. --Shadowcrest 00:10, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The white rabbit is not; it can be targeted and will turn hostile and attack you once the Vaettir spawn. White rabbit should probably get its own article, all things considered. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 00:12, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The White Rabbit should indeed have its own article, as it is called "White Rabbit" instead of just "Rabbit". &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 00:39, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * In general video game terms, being able to "interact" with an object simply means you can do something with it, that it's not just part of the scenery. In this case, you can target the Rabbit, which displays the name "Rabbit" under it and also allows you to do things like Ctrl+Space = "I'm talking to Rabbit!"  You couldn't do this with truly ambient features.  Because the Rabbit is targetable and has a name, that makes it an NPC.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael [[Image:Diablo_the_chicken.gif]] 00:39, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * You can't really do anything with it in the sense that anything happens in the game world. It rotates when you talk to it (looks eerie). So I agree it's not ambient. Should it go in the "domesticated animals" category then? --◄mendel► 09:46, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
