Zipper T. Bunny

Zipper T. (ぴょんたろう, Pyontarou), commonly shortened to Zipper, is a special character in and. Their full name as seen on the Bulletin Board outside the Town Hall (Train Station in New Leaf) is Zipper T. Bunny. They appear to be another animal, or possibly a human, dressed as a yellow Easter Bunny. Zipper's true form is unknown.

There is a zipper on the back of Zipper's costume from which they may be named. It is easily visible when seen from behind, which causes Zipper to turn around. They will then comment saying not to look at their zipper, as it "spoils the magic."

They appear as the holiday character for Bunny Day, and was first introduced in alongside Pavé and Phineas.

Upon approaching them, a unique, odd theme will play and they'll begin to dance. As you leave the town hall area the music and dancing fades and Zipper will sigh heavily. Zipper will ask you to search for bunny eggs which are buried around town. Opening these, they say, reveals a "surprise", but after constantly talking to them without finding one, they'll eventually tell you they are looking for bunny foil, which they also call prize tickets. They give you Furniture from the Egg Series each time you find one bunny foil inside an egg and give it to them.

When in town, villagers will usually speak of them in a derogatory manner. Normal villagers appear to be scared of them. It would appear they're unhappy with their choice of uniform and job, by mentioning that they want a new job under their breath and will occasionally mention how uncomfortable they are under the suit - also, under their breath.

Tortimer
Many believe Zipper to be Tortimer, due to their name being "Zipper", as in the zipper on the bunny suit and "T", as in Tortimer. However, upon entering Town Hall, he is clearly seen in his usual spot.

Phyllis
Some believe Zipper to be Phyllis, due to the fact that Zipper complains under his breath in a similar style to her. Zipper also has purple eyelids when they blink, which further supports this theory. However, Phyllis can be found in the Town Hall during her usual evening shift or in The Roost before work.

Lyle
Few believe Zipper to be Lyle, due to both disliking their jobs and Lyle isn't seen at Nook's Homes on Easter. Though this can be disproven since he is still inside Nook's on this day in New Leaf.

Dr. Shrunk
Dr. Shrunk could be the one who dresses as Zipper T. Bunny, since in Animal Crossing: New Leaf if you have built Club LOL then you know that every day Dr. Shrunk is inside allowing you to get jokes which get your character emotions. But on Bunny Day however, Club LOL when trying to get inside is closed while Zipper is in town. This could mean that Zipper is Shrunk. If Shrunk comes for coffee on that day, he might not be ZIpper.
