An idea for a new Companion - The Vorpal Bunny

I think I came up with a great idea for a possible new Companion. In a tip of the hat to Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail; the idea for the Vorpal Bunny was thought up before. And I think it would be very popular in Neverwinter. I think its stats and abilities could be similar to the Rare Skeletal Dog Companion. But instead of granting 190 Life Steal for its Active Bonus, it should grant Critical Strike. And for its attacks it should have a Bite and Takedown which knocks down its opponent if it has combat advantage. But the Takedown should show the Vorpal Bunny launching itself through the air and attacking the throat of its opponent. And the final ability unlocked at a higher level could also be a Crippling Bite, but the effect could be a Bleed Effect DOT. If you could get it out on April Fool's Day, I think that would be a perfect time for its debut.

If it ever gets in game I want one. : )

    Oh my gods... that would be so much overkill XD (1st orange colour/class companion probably :) )

    Actually it wouldn't be over powered. I basically took the same powers and stats of the Rare level 25 Skeletal Dog Companion and suggested substituting Critical Strike for the Life Steal and changing the animation from biting the leg for the Takedown to showing the Bunny biting the throat. So its no more powerful than an existing Companion in the game... Now if you made it as powerful as seen in the movie; taking a mans head off in a single attack, then yeah that Bunny would probably be an Orange con Companion. : )

    My thoughts exactly :D

    Now: along with thy "miniature giant space hamster" they could be our very first 'Legendary' companions XD

    I think it in fact may call for an event just to host them as ultra-rare, server-wide reward. Both are after all famous enough to have an own fan-clubs ;)

    Well: we had 'Golden Pantaloons' known from BG hidden quests so having a bit more humorist accent ain't gonna kill us I guess. With Rabbit though I wonder of one little thing if we're serious: who is a lawful possessor of copyrights for him?

    Does anyone remember that old text-based adventure computer game back in the 80's that featured a Vorpal Bunny as a monster you encountered in the dungeon?
    If I'm right, it was called Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord! Click through and check out the bestiary for its stats. Growing up, this game was hilarious!
    I totally have to stop everything and play this awful thing again!
