Hare & Gone Again: Meeting the 5e Rabbitfolk[edit | edit source]

Greetings!

I have been asked to give you a brief introduction to my people, and so I shall! My name is Linden Rue, I am a multiverse traveling harengon, born in the Feywilds where my people originated from. I like many of my people have allowed my curiosity to lead me to worlds beyond our beloved Feywild home. I enjoy studying the many beings and races I come into contact with but, this time I shall share a bit about my own people.


Due to the perilous and tricky nature of the Feywilds, we’ve developed sharp senses to keep an eye out for dangerous things. That being said, we’ve also adapted a “fight smarter not harder” strategy in order to thrive and you may find it’s hard to keep a good harengon down as we’ll just hop right back up again. Some believe us lucky and blessed from our ties to the mysterious feywild but I think we’ve just got this way of kicking back and cruising with the multiverse so things just seem to often work out in our favor. I will note here that we’re not so much like the very small fearful “rabbits” that I’ve come across in the Material Plane, they may look a lot like us but we’re quite a bit more bold and brave then they seem to be. I can’t blame them though, they don’t seem like they’ve got much else in the way of defending themselves from the many things that want to eat them. We sure can resonate but, we’ve luckily learned many skills that help us prove that we are no easy prey.

You’ll see us range from small (some almost tiny) in size to the medium height of what we used to call the “taller races” (such as Elves or Humans). I personally think it’s all this traveling we do that stretches us out somehow. Though I’ve not stretched much yet, perhaps a bit in the ears? Hmm… We’re bipedal (meaning we stand up on our back two rather powerful hind legs and sizable feet) and we’re covered in beautiful fur that ranges in a variety of colors. We also have long ears that typically stand tall but don't be too shocked if you come across lop ear or two in your travels. I find humans especially for some reason seem to find our small fluffy tails rather attractive. Our tails are short, look rather round, and are as stated fluffy. I will say our fashions are as varied as we are and you may consider it unlikely but some, like me, even don heavy armor and shields while others favor our natural agility and wear more suitable attire for quick nimble movement.  

We’re not highly organized as a “society” as we’re usually too busy running here and there and finding ourselves rather too distracted for the normal politicking and court theatrical kind of behaviors that tend to lend themselves to a more evolved society. It’s not that we’re incapable, in fact, you’ll often see us, in the Feywilds at least, scattered amongst different courts and societies and we do have small groups of ourselves that stick together but we tend to set out and find adventure of some kind or another. We do have all kinds so not all of us are driven to wander but I would say it’s more the norm than not however. It’s really our elders who are the glue of the smaller Fluffle Colonies (what we call our groups) and who lead and inspire our future generations with tales of their own adventures and wanderings. Many go out into the world, have their fill, then come back to the same, or find a new, Fluffle Colony to retire and spend their golden years relaxing and helping to rear the next generation.

We’re generally fairly positive, highly energetic, exuberantly enthusiastic characters. Being stuck and static is hard for us, after all there’s so much to see, and do, and accomplish in this multiverse, who has time to laze around?! Our freedom is everything to us and we abhor anyone who is taking away our or any innocent being’s freedom. Life is meant to be enjoyed and we’re meant to wander and explore and express ourselves as we wish! With our high energy and curious natures we’re always up for an adventure, which is why we’re leaving the Feywilds and exploring the many worlds of the Material plane.
