**Dr. Harvey Hare**, often shortened to just **Dr. Hare** is a villain from the webgame *Poptropica*, along with the game's official mascot.

## Appearance

Dr. Hare is a man who dressed up in a pink rabbit suit. He wears grey goggles with green lenses and black straps, along with a matching belt. He has buck teeth and a fluffy cotton tail, like a cartoon rabbit.

This is due to an accident back during his schooling days, in which an incident including a top-secret mind control device and a rabbit. The device malfunctioned and fused both Harvey and the rabbits minds into one, causing the creation of Dr. Hare.

## Storyline and Roles

### Role on 24 Carrot Island

It can be taken from Harvey's dream in Super Villain Island that the rabbit portion of his brain was scared of being so small, or that he possibly worked on a farm as a child.

Academically, he studied at the National Institute of Silly Sciences (N.I.S.S.), where he majored in gamma radiation, physics, and animals. There, an experiment went wrong - including presumably gamma radiation and rabbits - resulting in the Poptropican/rabbit hybrid known as Dr. Hare.

With a rabbit fused in his mind, he is obsessed with carrots, and because of the rabbit's subconscious, wants to take over Poptropica. Creating a rabbit suit and presumably growing large front teeth, his mind was warped and twisted.

Travelling to 24 Carrot Island, he started to steal the carrots, which put the majority of the inhabitants out of business and jobs. With the carrot factory non-operational, he set up base there and began to manufacture the carrots in every way possible - fuel, food, etc. He then kidnapped 4 children inhabitants at Carrot King Diner using his mind control technology to make them his minions.

He then built a giant rabbit spaceship dubbed the ‘Rabbot’ to fly into space and mind control the entire planet with a hypnotic ray on the bottom of the ship.

When you arrive on the island, production is still in progress. Navigating through the factory, you turn off the mind control devices on the kidnapped kids. When you enter the lift-off room, Dr. Hare, assuming you're one of his minions, tells you to get to the control panel while he gets into the cockpit of the Rabbot. You're instructed to start the launch sequence.

After de-hypnotizing the last kid who was in charge of starting the launch sequence, you then override the control center of the Rabbot, allowing you to remotely pilot the craft. After it launches, you can control it with a joystick. Flying through space, you deliberately make the Rabbot hit asteroids. On the fourth hit, the aircraft has taken too much damage and explodes. Dr. Hare floats out into space.

### Role on Reality TV Island

Dr. Hare somehow gets back on Planet Poptropica. He apparently starts a cooking show, as revealed in the "Pop-Topics" Tabloid. He becomes a contestant on Reality TV, and he may be selected in the list of contestants in the season whenever you play.

Like all other contestant NPCs on the island, he will say random bits of dialogue when prompted. He will vote on you sometimes.

### Role on Super Villain Island

Erehwon Prison catches Dr. Hare after the events on Reality TV, and Zeus (disguised as Dr. Jupiter) hooks him up to the Dream Machine, along with the three other famous supervillains.

You can then travel into his mind and explore his dreams. A correct interpretation of the dream isn't easily found, but a couple possibilities are:

* The dream is part of the rabbit side of his brain's memory. The rabbit was bullied by ants.
* Dr. Hare used to be afraid of ants when he worked on a farm as a child.
* Dr. Hare is afraid of being forgotten.

His dream starts out with some ants tossing a shrunken Harvey hare into their ant hill. He falls down to the bottom. With a Diamond Drill, you kill ants and mine downwards, finding him stuck in some dirt. His villain totem is nearby - a Golden Carrot.

When Zeus reveals himself, he blows up the prison, throwing the four villains and you out of the building. Without their totems, the characters are no longer evil, and thus they swiftly leave.
