Big Ears, Small Magician

Mr. Snark is a magical talking white rabbit who used to be the pet bunny of a famous stage magician. Through some combination of genetic mutation and exposure to real magical power, he now possesses the ability to speak, stand on his back legs, and use his forepaws as hands. He has also acquired more magical talent than his master ever possessed, so now he has his own solo career as a stage magician. He is, however, still the size of a rabbit. He is always dressed in a top hat and cape.

Mr. Snark was created as a character for the Big Eyes, Small Mouth RPG. The Revised Second Edition stat block below uses the Teenage Romance genre costs for Skills, while the Third Edition version uses the Multigenre costs. In both editions, he has the ability to enter a tiny pocket dimension that he uses to vanish during magic acts--and when he needs to disappear for any other reason. (Mr. Snark knows he's no good in a fight; he employs trickery instead.) He needs to cover himself with a cape in order to enter this pocket dimension, but not to leave it.

Finally, in the Third Edition stat block, the reduced running speed for the Tiny template has been removed, and he has been given Fast instead.
