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[edit]

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 despite their high tolerance for the cold. 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.

Training[edit]

This animal can be trained as follows:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move.
↑ A Scratch attack that varies from animal to animal. Each front paw allows one attack.

Trivia[edit]

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.
