The bunicorn is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest III, it is a grey-furred rabbit with a large spiral horn on its head and a hare-raising temperament.
Bunicorns are rabbits with a singular horn, parodying the fabled unicorns. They have grey 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. In later games, they gained the ability to build up their strength in order to perform more powerful charging attacks against unsuspecting adventurers. According to their monster info in X, vicious bunicorns are able to alter the hardness of their horns based on their opponent and their horns can serve as crafting materials for weapons.
A rabbit-like monster with a distinctive single horn growing from the middle of its forehead. Unlike normal rabbits, they are determinedly carnivorous using their sharp horns to spear prey.
A bunicorn residing in Tryan Gully informs the Hero and party that the Elf Raya is aware of the passing of David, descendants of the Kupas, one of the Seven Sages.
Bunicorns appeared from the beginning of the game. They are able to build up their Tension by mustering their strength and will flee when threatened. Starting with Version 5.0, vicious bunicorns can be faced in the Netherworld, with no changes in their behaviour.
These creatures might resemble rabbits, but meet one of their horns head-on and you'll understand the difference rather sharpish. They pass the long nights huddled together in their warrens
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.
Bunicorn appears as a F-rank monster of the Beast family that can be recruited from Chapter 2, Episode 1: Get moving! and Chapter 4, Episode 3: A favour for Purty, as well as the Mascot Dark Sabrecub stage at any difficulty during the Beast Fest. It can participate in Bewarewolf's Battle Road as a party member.
