They appear to come from a world whose laws of motion are radically different from ours. Tron looked to his mate and pilot. "I'm going to check on the beam connection, Yori. You two can keep a watch out for grid bugs." Tron paced forward along the slender catwalk that still seemed awfully insubstantial to Flynn, though he knew it to be amazingly sturdy. He gazed after Tron, asking himself what in the world a grid bug was, and hoping that the beam connection -- to which he'd given no thought whatsoever until this moment -- was healthy and sound."

Somehow his vocabulary reminds me of Bun-Bun in Sluggy.

And that makes me wonder, if someone made a bunny patch for Nethack, what symbol would represent a bunny? I don't normally play in text mode, but the graphics mode myself so I'm not fully sure on the system used for many creatures letters.

No. The r is reserved for rodents. Rabbits are not rodents. They are lagomorphs.

Then again, a is used for " or other insect", so maybe this could change.

P.S. Why did the sign himself as a ? More attitude?

So what symbol would they be? (Matt M P's original question)

Interesting. Wikipedia says lagomorpha was designated in 1912, but I have two modern dictionaries that mention rabbits under "rodent". One fudges by giving a secondary definition of "rodent" as "a small mammal".

Considering the preference in Nethack for antiquated and mythologic systems, r could still be a valid symbol, especially if Nethack's embedded encyclopedia clarified the lagomorpha vs rodentia issue.
