Don't Starve Wiki

Bunnymen are neutral creatures who live underground. They spawn from Rabbit Hutches which look like giant Carrots. These Hutches can be built by the player both under- and above-ground. If a Bunnyman is above ground during the day, he will fall asleep like a Pig does when trapped outside at night. When found naturally, Bunnymen often live in small villages and can commonly be found fighting other Cave-dwellers. When killed, Bunnymen drop 2 Carrots and 1 Meat or 1 Bunny Puff. Bunnymen can be convinced to follow a character in exchange for Carrots. When a friendly Bunnyman is nearby Sanity will slowly increase.

Behavior

Bunnymen are hostile to any meat-eating creature which includes the player should they be carrying any Meats or Meat Crock Pot Foods, as well as Eggs. This includes Monster Meat and Batilisk Wings which are easily found underground.They will also attack if the player kills somthing eg: a spider infront of them. When attacked, Bunnymen will flee and regenerate their health when it gets low. Unlike Pigs, they do not kite. Like other creatures who live in groups Bunnymen will defend each other when attacked. It is also noted that bunnymen attack the player after being allied, it is unknown if this was meant to happen or not.

Trivia

  • Bunnymen are the fourth Mob 'in the mold' of Pigs. The other two are Merms and Walrus.
  • According to Kevin, Pigs and Bunnymen will probably fight each other (though currently they don't).
  • Bunnymen are the sixth different type of follower the player can have. The others are Pigs, SmallbirdsMandrakes, Baby Beefalo, and Chester.
  • Many of the friendly Bunnyman names are either plants (e.g. Brassica = cabbage, Celeriac = celery-root, Pimpernel/Tragopogon = flowers, Psoralea = tumbleweed) or atomic elements minus the -ium suffix (e.g. Europia, Gadolin, Neo/Praseodymia, Promethia, Scandius, Ytterbia).
  • When examining a rabbit hole, Wilson says: "That must lead to the kingdom of the bunnymen." This might be an inspiration for Bunnymen.
  • They seem to curiously look at the Player when they are in the Darkness.
  • Bunnymen was added in the Underground update.
