A one-eared rabbit, also known as Fluffy, is the town rabbit of River's Rest.

A communal creature, Fluffy spends most of his time lazily chewing errant strands of grass throughout the town. The rabbit lost its ear when a villain kidnapped the creature and held it hostage for a ransom from the townspeople of River's Rest. The initial ransom demand was for 2 million silvers, but after failure to pay on time, the villain boosted the ransom to 4 million which was sent via an elf warrioress named Isselie to a designated location. Incidentally, Isselie picked up the nickname "Rabbit" for her role in the affair. Before this occurred, the rabbitknapper cut one of the rabbit's ears off and nailed it to the drawbridge that acts as the entry way into the town as a sign of his seriousness.

For Fluffy's role in the affair, he received a medal which he wears to this day on a collar around his neck. The town aardvark, known as Snuffy, also played a role in discovering the rabbit's location after the payment of the ransom, and received a medal as well.

Presently, Fluffy's hutch is located behind the Captain's Quarters of River's Rest in an old hutch near the hoosegow. While the rabbit is a brave example of his kind, he is usually timid around strangers. Citizens of the town, however, are on quite good terms and Fluffy will even permit them to pick him up momentarily.
