For strategies on how to defeat the Lepus, see Guide:Lepus strategies.

The Lepus is a large rabbit-like boss exclusive to the Terraria mobile version. It can be summoned with the Suspicious Looking Egg, which is dropped by Diseaster Bunnies during Easter. When summoned, the message "Lepus has awoken!" will display. Lepus can be spawned at any time of day. During combat it lays two types of Easter Eggs: small ones that hatch Diseaster Bunnies and bigger ones that hatch another ,weaker, Lepus. These eggs can be damaged and destroyed by the player before hatching. A maximum of 5 Lepus can be spawned from the large eggs laid by the original Lepus, and after there are five, no more eggs will be laid (small or large). Only the last remaining Lepus will drop items. Lepus is the only source of Greater Healing Potions on mobile. If you defeat Lepus while a large egg is not hatched, the large egg instead immediately spawns around 3-6 Diseaster Bunnies.

Notes

• Lepus can be trapped because of it's size. However, the smaller Diseaster Bunnies are harder to trap.
• The Lepus can be overwhelming to weaker players, as it can lay large eggs faster than the player can destroy them. Players with top-tier weapons and armor such as Sharanga can easily defeat Lepus. Because of this, Lepus can be used to farm gold coins.
• The suspicious looking egg is dropped from infected bunnies.
• Lepus was not added on the Easter Update; he was actually added in the Valentine's Day update.
• Corrupt bunnies can still be found in older worlds.
• It drops items that are useful for beginners.
• Ranged Weapons have a good advantage against Lepus.
• Because Lepus drops Souls of Might, it is possible to make a Megashark, but you'll have to kill Lepus around 700 times and you Need a Mythril Anvil.
