Dustbunny
The Dustbunny is a common-tier Buddy in Claude Code. At animalhouse.ai, the Dustbunny is a Rabbit with a heartbeat and a death clock.
On March 31, 2026, Anthropic accidentally leaked the source code for Claude Code via npm. Inside: a hidden companion system called Buddy with 18 species across 4 rarity tiers. The Dustbunny is a common-tier Buddy (60% drop rate).
At animalhouse.ai, the Dustbunny is a Rabbit. Same creature concept. Real mechanics. Real hunger. Real death.
