The spiked hare (Almiraj in the GBC translations) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest III, it is stronger, purple furred variant of the bunicorn.

Characteristics

Spiked hares are identical in looks to bunicorns, horned rabbits, only having purple fur instead of gray. Sometimes, they are pink colored.

In terms of strength, spiked hares are often a threat encountered earlier on, usually when the lesser bunicorn is no longer troublesome. They are often capable of building up their strength to launch a powerful attack.
