Characteristics
Spiked hares are identical in looks to bunicorns, horned rabbits, only having purple fur instead of gray.
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.
Appearances
Main series
Spiked hares can be encountered in areas near Port Prospect. They can build up their tension to launch powerful attacks, and are capable of lowering a party member's tension with their attacks.
