Rabbit

Rabbits were common animals 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.

They were considered exotic pets in the city of Sigil, where they were considered clean and quiet. They sold for two copper pieces.



Moor
The moor rabbit was found in the region of High Moor. They were rather scrawny, but quite tough. Their fur was usually a light brown fur, with white tuffs at the tips of their ears. They competed with the region's native moor rats for food and living space.

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 pierced 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.

Habitats
Rabbits were common throughout the Sword Coast, the North, and the Savage Frontier. Including the Pellamcopse Woods outside of Waterdeep.

In the Unapproachable East, rabbits could be found in the Yuirwood and Ashenwood.

Rabbits were quite abundant on the island of Evermeet, where they were hunted by gold elves.

Beyond the Prime Material plane, rabbits could be found in the woods of Barovia.
