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, parodying the fabled unicorns. They have gray fur, and the horn is often a yellowish brown shade. Unlike real-life lagomorphs, Bunicorns are fiercely territorial and will think nothing of skewering a human that crosses their path.

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.

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.

The monster drops meat upon its defeat. Bunicorn meat is a crafting material, used to create (with coal) a bunicorn steak, which fills the hunger meter by 20% and increases attack power for a short time. A bunicorn steak with bread creates the even more useful bunny burger, which fills the hunger meter by 80% and also increases attack power for a short time.

Related Monsters

Spiked hare

A spiked hare ( アルミラージ ) is identical in looks to a bunicorn, only having purple fur instead of gray. Sometimes, it might be pink colored due to hardware limitations.

In terms of strength, the typical spiked hare is often a threat encountered early on, usually at around the time when the lesser bunicorn is no longer troublesome. It is often capable of building up its strength to launch a powerful attack.

Description

Ignore their cuddly appearance. These monsters are actually ruthless adversaries, capable of decreasing an enemy's tension whilst raising their own.

Golden corn

Golden corns (ールデンコーン) are identical in looks to bunicorns and spiked hares, however despite their names they are not entirely golden. Their fur has two tonalities: white and golden. The horn is similar to that of a spiked hare's, although gold. Finally, they have red eyes with yellow irises.
