Description: Bunnyhawks are all fairly compact and tend to look like large rabbits with bigger eyes than usual, talons on their feet, wings about the size of a small falcon or hawk, and a long tail resembling a lion. Think chimera, but tiny and cute. Their fur/feathers can range in colour but tend to be browns or blacks, with white ones more prevalent the higher altitude you go.
Habitat: These critters mostly like to stay in the trees, though they venture down to eat a particular type of moss here and there. For the most part, the higher you go in the forests on the fish's back, the more you'll see them and their nests.
Behavior: These guys are mostly shy and skittish, though if you're still and quiet enough they'll investigate. They're hardly ever alone, and are quite social with one another. A bunnyhawk will play by diving another bunnyhawk, or sometimes even barrel rolling. They don't make a single noise, even when flying, which is a self-defense technique developed since larger birds will scoop them up for a meal.
They are largely herbivores, but their claws are sharp and what you really have to watch out for. They prefer fight to flight, like dear - but as with all creatures, the closer you are to their nests, the closer you are to getting dive bombed. Bunnyhawks like to work in teams and pairs, so that's double the razor sharp talons! If a Bunnyhawk does decide to trust you (with the right food it will, it's favourite is nuts from the tree ground), be prepared for at least one more to poke it's head out, too.
Uses: Bunnyhawk eggs are incredibly tasty and seem on the sweeter side. Definitely a delicacy. Their meat is also very sweet and surprisingly filling; one small Bunnyhawk can keep an average-sized man full of energy for a whole day!

Name: Bunnyhawk. So very original.
