- Zipper T. Bunny

Zipper T. Bunny, often shortened to Zipper, is a character in the who serves as the host of Bunny Day. He tasks the player with bringing him eggs, and in return he gives item from the Egg Series or Bunny Day Series. He is analogous to the, a folklore symbol of , the holiday Bunny Day is based on. It is heavily implied through dialog and character descriptions that Zipper is someone in a costume due to the zipper on his back, from which his name is derived, though he insists that he is not wearing a costume.

Appearance
Zipper is what appears to be yellow rabbit with a cream muzzle, green eyes, purple eyelids, and red insides of his ears; however, it is implied that it is all a costume. He wears blue denim overalls with heart-shaped buttons and a star stitched in the middle. The overalls have a zipper on the back, visible when the player is speaking to him from above. Zipper also wears a white and green visor.

Personality
Zipper has a cheery personality when spoken to and dances when the player is near him; however, when the player walks away, he stops dancing and sighs, suggesting that he is putting on a cheery façade for the townsfolk. He also looses his cheery façade when the player speaks to him from above, telling them not to look at his zipper to not "spoil the magic."

In
Zipper makes his official debut in. Upon approaching him, Zipper's theme will play and he will begin to dance. The music fades and he stops dancing once players walk away from Town Hall, followed by him sighing. When players talk to him, he will introduce himself and ask them to find some eggs which are buried around town. He will ask the player to open them up to reveal a "surprise": bunny foils, which he also calls prize tickets. He gives players items from the Egg Series for every bunny foil that is given to him.

When in town, villagers will usually speak of him in a derogatory manner. Normal villagers appear to be scared of him. It would appear that he is unhappy with his choice of uniform and career, as he mentions under his breath about how he wants a new career and how uncomfortable he is under the suit.

In
Zipper returns in, where his role remains unchanged. However, there are now six different types of eggs to be found rather than bunny foils. Each different egg appears in a different location: in trees, in the sea through fishing or swimming, attached to balloons, under the ground, and in rocks. A piece from the Egg Series is given with each egg returned to Zipper. On rare occasions, the player may find a "lucky ticket," in which case Zipper will give the player his picture.

In
In, Zipper once again hosts Bunny Day. He can be found wandering around the island about two weeks before the event. When spoken to, he tasks the player with crafting items from the Bunny Day Series using eggs that he has hidden throughout the island, giving them the DIY Recipe for a Bunny Day Bed. If the player crafts every item from the Bunny Day Series by (or during) Bunny Day, Zipper will reward them with a special prize: the DIY recipe for a Wobbling Zipper Toy.

In
Zipper is featured once again in as the host of the Garden Safari event "Zipper's Wonderland." For this event, the player is required to catch creatures known as Scramblers, which only appear after special flowers have been planted. If a player manages to catch one, Zipper will give the player a piece of furniture from the Wonderland Series. The player can also be disguised as Zipper by wearing the Zipper costume and Zipper Mask.
