Sea bunnies are a favorite companion of young sea folk as they are among the gentlest of animals. They are not especially shy, and will readily take greens from your hand after sniffing it for a little while. They grow relatively quickly and in the right environment, a simple setup for a pen will do well to keep them happy. However, they are rare sights outside of their native region because of their delicate nature. The only place on the mainland known to hold sea bunnies is the Keep, where they live full-time in special enchanted aquariums designed to perfectly mimic their natural habitats. They don't make particularly useful companions, but they are the subject of much exciting research at the Keep because of their poisonous tissues. They aren't toxic enough to seriously hurt animals that eat them, but it seems their taste is so foul that nothing tries a second time.
Sea bunnies do not blend in well with any environment, being more brightly colored than even the most vibrant of corals. They move slowly across the sea floor, swimming only when they absolutely must. Luckily, their favorite food -- algae -- moves even slower than they do. Sea bunnies spend a lot of time eating, so much that they don't even fully sleep, but instead take periodic naps throughout the day and night. They are very good at keeping algae at bay, but they can easily overgraze. This happens rarely, owing to the slow rate with with the bunnies reproduce; unlike their land-dwelling namesakes, sea bunnies only lay one egg every few years. No one is sure how long they live as adults.
