Huggy Bunnies

Huggy bunnies are extremely cute bunnies that love to be hugged. It is believed there might be something very dangerous about them, but to date, we have not managed to discover what it is.
Ice-Scallywags are completely and utterly terrified of them.

Huggy bunnies are fairly common. Their dens are found on mountains, hills, open-plains, tundra, oases, steppe, deserts, swamps, forests, marshes and along rivers, i.e. everywhere.

The typical family unit is 144, and they breed at an astounding rate. A mom huggy-bunny lays one egg every two months so has 6 babies per year. Do not try eat their eggs. A man once tried and he was never seen again. Nobody knows what happened to him, but it is believed that it was something bad.

As their name reveals, they love giving and receiving hugs. If you do hug one, make sure your eyes are shut during the hug, otherwise you might get bitten. Actually, you will get bitten. A huggy-bunny bite is very painful and often the scar never heals.

Huggy bunnies love carrots. If you feed them carrots, make sure to never point the sharp end of the carrot towards them. They find this offensive. If you do it, you will get bitten. A woman was once feeding some and persisted in pointing the sharp ends at them. She was dragged into one of their dens and never seen again. Nobody knows what happened to her, but it is believed that it was something bad.

Huggy bunnies love classical music. If you play it near their den, they all emerge and start humming and smiling and hugging each other. It’s a really wonderful sight to behold. They might even start hugging your legs. But a warning. They hate the sound of the violin. Make sure the music you play them contains absolutely no violin at all. A man was once playing them music and unbeknownst to him there was a sudden violin solo in the concert. Like the carrot woman, he was also dragged into a den a never emerged. Nobody knows what happened to him, but it is believed that it was something bad.

And oh, one last warning. Never, ever, ever, ever under any circumstances take a photo of a huggy bunny. They HATE having photos taken of themselves. You will get bitten for sure.
