Zipper T. Bunny

Zipper T. (ぴょんたろう, Pyontarou), usually shortened to Zipper, is a new character in. His full name as seen on the Bulletin Board outside the Town Hall is Zipper T. Bunny. He appears to be another animal or person dressed as a yellow Easter Bunny, but the true identity remains to be seen.

There is a zipper in the back of Zipper T. from which he is apparently named. It is easily visible if you talk to him from the back which causes him to turn around. He will then comment saying not to look at his zipper, as it "spoils the magic."

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

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

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

Tortimer
Many believe Zipper to be Tortimer, due to his 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 he blinks, which further supports this theory. However, Phyllis can be found in the Town Hall during her usual evening shift.

Trivia

 * Despite Zipper being dressed in a Bunny costume, his mouth still moves when he talks, and his eyes blink and react to emotions the same way as all other characters.


 * If you don't have a shovel when you first talk to him, he will offer to sell you one. *If you select the "you're weird" option, he will say under his breath that he knows a certain reindeer and can tell him you've been extremely naughty this year.
 * Pete, Lyle and Phyllis are known to dislike their jobs in the series, often making remarks which are written in gray text to indicate speech muttered under their breath. However, like Tortimer, they can be seen doing their usual jobs.
