Dungeon Rabbits (迷宮のウサギ, Meikyū no usagi^?) are a type of monster in Delicious in Dungeon.

Anatomy and Appearance

Dungeon Rabbits look much like wild rabbits at first glance, but also have short blades that extend from their hind leg.

They seem to pass round faeces.

Behaviour and Weaknesses

Like rabbits, Dungeon Rabbits appear to live in burrows and move around in groups.

Dungeon Rabbits are very agile creatures. They are also fairly intelligent, able to lead their victims away from safety before attacking and gang up on potential victims by attacking from multiple directions. In addition, they thump their hind legs on the ground when agitated, which also acts as a warning for other Dungeon Rabbits in the area.

To attack their enemies, they use their agility to launch towards their victim's neck, using the blade on their hind legs to cut it open and leaving them to bleed out. However, they are not particularly strong and can be taken out rather easily, such as via a simple explosion spell.

Culinary Usage

Dungeon Rabbits can be prepared much like rabbits.

Dungeon Rabbits have been used in the following dishes:

Head-Chopping Rabbit Curry

Trivia

• The concept of a seemingly innocuous yet dangerous rabbit is possibly a reference to the Vorpal Bunny monster in the 1981 role-playing video game Wizardry (which was popular in Japan), or to the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog from British comedy troupe Monty Python's Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

• Dungeon Rabbits are referenced in adventure lore as mysterious but extremely dangerous creatures. The story goes that a group of veteran adventurers who would not be defeated by common monsters went deep into the dungeon, only for their corpses to be found decapitated. When resurrected, they all said, "It was a rabbit..." and never entered a dungeon again. This story is so well-circulated that merchants are able to sell armour with the claim that the wearer would be able to survive any encounter with Dungeon Rabbits.
