Deep Sea Bunnies

The Profundus Jorunna Parva species, or Deep Sea Bunnies, are small, white rabbit-like creatures with soft fur and gradient light purple/deep purple parts. They sport leaf-like shaped ears, with gradient light purple/deep purple insides and a small black line through the middle of them. They also bear four visible "teeth/spider-fangs" (both corner ones are bigger than the middle ones) on their exterior of their heads, and a fluffy ball-shaped rabbit tail, with that, they have 4 arms each side. It is said they are able to breathe underwater in their document, and they can also be accustomed to breathing on land.

They are very affectionate and cuddly creatures that are near harmless. They do hide from the anglers which suggests they might be prey to them. The deep sea bunnies hide from the anglers by going in their little vent area where they retrieve items from, which is likely their den of sorts.

The Deep Sea Bunnies wander around aimlessly until a player enters the room. If the player does not yet have its document, they can find it on the table in the middle of the carpeted area that the Deep Sea Bunnies roam around on. If given an item, the Deep Sea Bunny will take the item and give you something they deem "equal", but it can sometime also be either greater or lesser than the original items worth. If you do not have an item in hand, you are able to pet the Deep Sea Bunnies using your interact button. The Deep Sea Bunny will lean into your hand in response. When you stop petting it, it will bounce and wiggle as a way to show that it's happy with the attention. Sometimes, when given an item, the Deep Sea Bunny can give you a landmine in return, which it accidentally sets off, exploding both itself, surrounding Deep Sea Bunnies and the player themselves if they do not move out of the blast radius.

The "Profundus Jorunna Parva" species, dubbed "Deep Sea Bunnies" by personnel, is a subspecies of the more well-known "Jorunna Parva", resembling cat-sized sea bunnies which now serve as Urbanshade's personnel breakroom pets. Originally found at the bottom of the Let-Vand zone during the initial expedition and excavation for the Hadal Blacksite, the DSB were considered a non-threat and left alone. Being a subspecies of the "Jorunna Parva," the DSB is considerably larger than their topside counterpart. It is currently unknown how the DSB managed to get into the Let-Vand zone, as Jorunna Parva are originally only found in the Western Pacific. No Z-classification has been given, due to them simply being considered wild animals.

During an excavation mission in 2016, a wild DSB approached one of the Tungvest divers and cuddled up against him. After returning to the base, he jokingly asked a senior researcher to "Give one of them lungs so I can have it as a pet.". The senior, seeing this as a challenge, had a DSB abducted from the seafloor and sent to her lab for experimentation. A few days later, a DSB capable of living on land was given to the diver.

Many other employees, wanting their own abnormal pets, asked for their own DSB. The researcher assembled a team of fellow seniors and diving crews, and as many DSBs as possible were taken from the trench and brought to her lab. After a month, a total of 374 DSB's had undergone the mutation experiments.

DSBs are now allocated to designated break rooms, living inside a carpeted enclosure. Each enclosure has a warren built into the wall where the DSBs rest. The DSB are incredibly cuddly, so cuddly that when pet, they seem to perform a "binky". This action is usually performed by topside bunnies when happy, and it is assumed to simply be a coincidence that they do the same.

The DSB's tend to hoard, stealing items that personnel bring to the pens. Items stolen are usually brought to the warren, where personnel are able to get their items back by "trading" with a DSB. If given food or another item, the DSB will take the food/item to the warren, and then bring out another item. The DSB will usually try and bring out what they perceive as "equal value", though may sometimes give something that is lesser or greater
