Zipper T. Bunny

Zipper T. Bunny (ぴょんたろう,), commonly shortened to Zipper, is a special character in and. Zipper appears to be another animal, or possibly a human, dressed as a yellow Easter Bunny. Zipper's true form (and whether or not there actually is one) is currently unknown canonically.

There is a zipper on the back of Zipper's costume which may be the source of Zipper's name. It is easily visible when seen from behind, which causes Zipper to turn around and comment saying to not to look at the zipper, as it "spoils the magic", further backing up the theory that Zipper is another animal in a costume.

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

Upon being approached, a unique, odd theme will play and Zipper will begin to dance. As the player leaves the town hall area the music and dancing fades and Zipper will sigh heavily. Zipper will ask the player to search for bunny eggs which are buried around town. Opening these, Zipper will say, it reveals a "surprise", but after constantly talking to Zipper without finding one, Zipper eventually will tell the player to look for bunny foil, which are also call prize tickets. Zipper will give the player Furniture from the Egg Series or Zipper's picture each time the player finds one bunny foil or grand prize ticket (respectively) inside an egg and gives it to Zipper.

During the event, villagers will usually speak of Zipper in a derogatory manner. Normal villagers appear to be scared of Zipper. It would appear Zipper is unhappy with the choice of uniform and job, by mentioning that Zipper wants a new job under his breath and will occasionally mention how uncomfortable it is under the suit - also, under his breath.

Tortimer
Many believe Zipper to be Tortimer, due to the 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 also complains silently in a similar style to Phyllis. Zipper also has purple eyelids when blinking, which further supports this theory. However, Phyllis can be found in the Post Office during her usual evening shift or in The Roost before work.

Lyle
Others believe Zipper to be Lyle, due to both disliking their jobs and Lyle isn't seen at Nook's Homes on Easter. This is not the case in, however.

Dr. Shrunk
Dr. Shrunk could be the one who dresses as Zipper T. Bunny, since in Animal Crossing: New Leaf if the player has built Club LOL then the player will know that every day Dr. Shrunk allows the player to collect character emotions. However, Dr. Shrunk is in the building as usual on Bunny Day after 12 pm.
