The Bunicorn (originally Horned Rabbit) is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest III, it is a gray rabbit with a large horn.
Characteristics
Bunicorns are rabbits with a single horn. They have gray fur and the horn is often a yellowish brown shade.
As enemies typically encountered at the start of a game, Bunicorns are not particularly strong though they typically outweigh the likes of Slimes. Due to this, Bunicorns are usually a threat to players who take to traveling too far before getting better equipped and leveled at the start of their journey.
Appearances
Main series
Bunicorns are Platiosi that the player can encounter in Forewood Forest, though only after progressing through the game enough to unlock the upper half of the area. They attack by charging straight with their horn, often slamming into walls and getting momentarily stuck before they can pull themselves free.
Etymology
Bunicorn is a combination of the words bunny, a childish way of saying rabbit, and unicorn, a mythological horse bearing a single horn on its head.
