White Rabbit

* Rabbit
* Star

The **White Rabbit**, also known as the **Sun**, is a character in Everhood. It is a small rabbit that the player encounters several times. When the player approaches, it runs away.

## Characteristics

### Appearance

The White Rabbit is a small white rabbit with a pink nose.

### Personality

The White Rabbit is a skittish creature, running away whenever the player approaches. When it realizes it is going to be killed, it becomes scared and transforms into its true form, the Sun.

## Battle

The Sun fight occurs after killing 29 souls during the Normal ending. Dodging all attacks will unlock the "No Hit White Rabbit" achievement. The Sun cannot be spared.

In the beginning of the Sun fight, it is far away, and the lanes through which the attacks come from are strikingly long. As the fight progresses, Red will approach the Sun, and the lanes will become gradually shorter. The Sun will grow in size, and the screen will begin shining red with extremely high contrast. This can make it difficult to tell the notes apart from each other. Thankfully, there are not many black notes at this stage, and the ones that do appear are two lanes wide, which helps in telling them apart from regular notes. The high contrast and giant shining Sun can make it difficult to see how much health the Sun has left. For this reason, it is recommended to focus on the notes rather than the health bar.

## Story

The White Rabbit, or its alternative form as a distant white star, appears at various points in the world. As a star, it is unreachable, and as a rabbit, it runs away faster than Red can catch up to it. In the Cosmic Hub, it appears in the northeastern area. In the clearing of the Dark Forest, it appears as a distant star near the Cursed Castle. In the Mushroom Forest, it will appear the first time Red goes through the area, run across the lake, and lead Red into Professor Orange's net trap. On the road to Bubblegum Land, it will appear surprisingly often, and seemingly randomly. It will always pop up at the end of the room and quickly run to the next one.

The White Rabbit is encountered for a final time during the normal route's ending, where the Lost Spirits prompt the player to destroy it so they can pass on to the next world. The Lost Spirits teleport Red into outer space, where the Sun fight takes place. A thermometer is on the right side of the screen during the battle. Initially it shows extremely cold temperatures, starting at around -270 °C, but it rises as Red approaches the Sun, topping out at around 4,447 °C (values slightly vary each runthrough of the fight). Upon the Sun's death, the thermometer changes to -72,656.66 °C, then -88,888.88 °C as it goes supernova.

## Trivia

* There are several early hints about the White Rabbit's true identity as the Sun.
	+ If the player walks on a specific pathway tile in the northeast section of the Cosmic Hub, the White Rabbit will appear and run away. Afterwards, the Sun will appear in the sky as a distant star north of the Carnival Door.
	+ After scaring away the White Rabbit near Mushroom Forest's lake and reloading the area, the Sun will appear in the sky directly above the lake.
	+ After the player obtains Red's arm, the White Rabbit will spawn in the first room of the Dark Forest. Once the White Rabbit is scared away, the player can reload the room and head towards the northern patch of land to see the Sun in the sky as a distant star.
* The repeating number 8 that is present on the thermometer during the Sun's death is a reoccurring theme throughout the game.
	+ There is an 8 in the Magic 8 Ball's name.
	+ There are 888 rooms in the endless corridor.
	+ There are 8 unique faces of death on either side of the Door of the Dead during the opening of the Lost Spirit's Revenge fight.
	+ The player deals 88,888 damage to the Cube during the Universe fight.
