Any cutesy animal from Game Freak tends to win the hearts of fans, though this particular design appears to be a mash-up of two existing Pokémon.

There’s a hint ofScorbunnyin there and a dollop ofMudkiptoo.

One comment asks how the rubber ring stays around Warabbit’s waist - asking the important questions - to whichthe response was, “I saw an image that showed it as his tail being wrapped around his body in a circle, but I’ll be honest I don’t know if that was fan-made or part of the leaks.”

A fancysprite versionhas been created which makes it look a little better than the 3D rendering, but something still seems off about this one.

Clearly, this starter was scrapped, which is a shame but we did end up with the delightful Mudkip.

A comment from viridiantreessaid, “Such a shame he was never official… SOME MONS DESERVE TO BE REAL.”

Oh well, at least we’ve seen some working images from the notoriously private company. And yes, Warabbit is still iconic.
