Default AC Name: Hop
Hexed From: Dachshund
Reasoning: I always used to paint my Dachies to look like a certain video game race I really liked. I decided to facilitate the process by hexing a proper breed for them. I deserve a bit of fun sometimes, no?
Variations: Twelve (red, yellow, green, cyan, purple, and tan, with male and female-specific colouring from the AC)
Ivy's Fave: Cyan-254 male with blue-154 eyes
Other Notes:
I used to constantly play Crash of the Titans on my PlayStation 2, and for some reason my favourite enemy in that game was the Voodoo Bunnies. Probably because their masks freaked me out.
Yes, with the benefit of hindsight, the VBs are horrifically problematic. But the game came out in 2007 and is full of other tribal-punk-ish nonsense from that time, so a bunch of African-cannibal-stereotype rabbits isn’t too surprising to see.
Either sex of Maskbunny can have the coloured features, but only males will have black fur and only females will have gray fur if you get them from the Adoption Centre. (It’s a choice inspired by the Voodoo Bunny skins from that game – the skin for player 2 is a light teal.) But that changes if you give them a sex change through PetzA or breed them, of course.

Breeding them sometimes results in cool colours like red, orange, brown, dusty, or white!
The coloured markings can be mixed and matched with breeding, or foregone entirely for black or gray. Sometimes the white “masks” glitch out too, leaving a “half mask” or what I like to call “tear streaks” of the fur colour showing through.
They kept their original breed’s personality, making them very energetic! The ears sometimes get a bit wonky because they still follow the animations for if the ears were normal Dachie ears, but sometimes it’s charming.
Now that I have a bit better idea of what I’m doing in Pet Workshop and LNZ Pro, I might make more variants based on the Voodoo Bunnies from the DS version of Crash: Mind over Mutant. I like their red masks. If I do, I’ll be sure to make a Breed Update about it!
