- "Seriously? I don't think that prickly thing is even edible. It looks way too hard and spiky. Unless they just carry it around as a weapon or something..."
- — Atelier Meruru Description
Prickly Bunnies appear in Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland as mid level enemies.
Unlike it's weaker counterparts, the prickly bunny doesn't eat the Uni that it carries. Instead, it uses it as a weapon. Prickly Bunnies are aggressive and attack in large groups. They first appear in Handel Forest as one of the mini bosses during the development quest 'Handel Forest II'.
They appear in various other areas in the game, and can be seen appearing in mobs with iron bunnies.
