Darble

When setting out to create the look of Darble - the "adorable" member of the trio of imaginary brigands that also contains Torble and Hurble - I asked myself, "What would it look like if a Japanese ad agency had tried to create the rabbit?"

With the thought put into it by its creators, yet never seeing the light of day, the imaginary life of Darble was formed. Darble speaks in the voice of an androgynous four-year-old with buck teeth.

It could charm the oil out of a snake, but that charm is only skin deep - when it's go time, Darble uses those rabbit claws and those teeth to bring down the damage in a flurry of Creamsicle-orange pain.
