Snowhare

Snowhares are a fast-moving cold-loving species found in tundra, ice sheets, and sea ice. Not being a social creature they are seen foraging for plants alone. Their small bodies with limited health means that they are easily killed with one shot from a bolt-action rifle.

They are effectively identical to the hare, only differing in habitat, comfortable temperature range, and color.

Analysis

Although typically a "real world" hare is larger than a rabbit, RimWorld hares produce the same amount of meat and lightleather as squirrels and rats. Further, despite any real-world expectations of "rabbit fur" parkas, slaughtering snowhares produces only lightleather, which has poor beauty and value, and no particular insulation benefits. It is also one of the least protective textiles in the game, making a snowhare farm a poor prospect.

Snowhares are a source of food in the biomes with the least food available. It's not a lot, but hunting a snowhare can keep a colonist alive for a day or so.

Trivia

The hare is one of the least powerful of all the animals in the game with a meager attack of 3 bite damage and one of the lowest hp's in the game. However, its fast speed, small size and large numbers makes a manhunter pack fearsome.
