Rabbit

Rabbits were a common animal throughout the Realms.

It was not uncommon to find them cooked and served in taverns and the like, such as at the Elfstone Tavern in Waterdeep.

Spiny
The spiny rabbit was found in the forest of Cormanthor. It has red fur and bright green eyes, but otherwise resembled a normal rabbit. It was usually calm and placid, but if startled, three spines on its stomach became erect. These spines gave the rabbit its name, and could prove deadly if they piercef the skin.

Whistling
The sage Elminster heard tales of a kind of rabbit living in the Brynwood in the Vast that was capable of whistling like a canary. It could even be taught a surprising number of tunes.
