The Warrior Bunnies (ヴォーリアバニー Wōria Banī) is a race of sapient sentient mammal type Leporidae Humanoids in the Special Region.
Childbearing[]
Warrior Bunnies are very prolific and fertile, with each female capable of bearing several babies per pregnancy. Even then, the male to female ratio is extremely low, to the point that males of their species are incredibly rare. Nonetheless, Warrior Bunnies are able to breed with other races. When they find a male that interests them, they would stay with him until they get bored or the relationship cools off. Due to this, the concept of couples and families are alien to them and they raise the children communally, as women of the tribe. The few males that are born are chosen as family men in order to father a pure-bred female that would eventually become the Queen.
History[]
Since long ago, the Warrior Bunnies first migrated from their original dimension to the Special Region through the Gate. For a long time, they had been regarded as a cruel, violent and debauched race. For the most part, this is true. In the north-eastern plains on the continent where their kingdom once stood, the tribes would hunt one another.
Three years ago before the events of GATE, the Empire suddenly invaded in search of slaves. At the time, Tyuule was the Queen of the Warrior Bunnies. The Warrior Bunnies easily overwhelmed the Empire's troops, but the Empire's never-ending armies proved to be too much for the Warrior Bunnies, who were slowly pushed back by the endless Imperial troops. Tyuule decided to parley with Crown Prince Zorzal and became his sex slave to save her people from certain death. However, the Empire made it as if Tyuule intended to save herself, making her hated amongst her subjects, keeping it hidden from her. The Warrior Bunnies soon scattered at the end of the war, becoming mercenaries, prostitutes or servants to make ends meet.
Some of the Warrior Bunnies would meet with the JSDF, such as Delilah. In the resulting civil war between the Loyalists and Zorzal's war-crazed faction, the Warrior Bunnies were used by the JSDF-Loyalist forces to inflict heavy casualties onto Zorzal's faction.
Tyuule eventually learned that the Empire did not keep their promise of sparing the Warrior Bunnies and plotted to kill Zorzal to avenge her people. She did so, although she died in the process.
With Zorzal's death, the truth leaked out to the Warrior Bunnies, who forgave her "treason" and built a tomb to honor her. Piña Co Lada also apologized for the Empire's conquest of their lands, and returned it to the Warrior Bunnies.
Abilities[]
Warrior Bunnies are known for superhuman agility, reflex and speed as well as being highly skilled warriors and assassins. Furthermore, they are shown to be fast enough to outrun an armed soldier's reaction to dodge their shots effectively like the case when Deliah tries to stab Yanagida not before dodging 3-4 shots from his pistol after outrunning his reaction time to aim his pistol at her. Their big bunny-like ears also enable them to have enhanced hearing in which they can hear sound and conversations at very far distances. They also possess superhuman strength; an average Warrior Bunny like Deliah is capable of sending a muscular human and an ork flying a fair distance from a single kick. They also have impressive regenerative capabilities; Deliah survived multiple point-blank range shots at her hip and was able to walk again within a month with the assistance of a titanium implant, while Yanagida, a well-fit and trained human, was handicapped for life from the injuries she inflicted.
Warrior Bunnies don't need night vision equipment to find their targets in the dark due to their innate night vision being very good. Their enviable arm strength, which could easily draw a bow to hit a target within 200 meters.
It is shown that on average Warrior Bunnies are equal to five trained Imperial soldiers, though their small numbers meant they were unable to fight the Empire on an even level.
Their fighting power is so strong that the JSDF states that the Warrior Bunnies are superior to even the JSDF Special Force Group. Few races are capable of being on equal or better fighting terms, the only exception being the Apostles themselves.
