The Rabbit Icon

Master stealth in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II by understanding the Hare Behavior Indicator. Learn what white, yellow, orange, and red icons mean for suspicion, detection, warning, and threat.

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, the Hare Behavior Indicator, commonly known as the bunny icon, provides crucial feedback on NPC awareness during stealth. While not perfect, it helps players understand when they are being observed, suspected, or are in immediate danger. The icon appears in the top-center of the screen when NPCs are aware of Henry's presence or actions.

If no NPCs are aware of Henry, no icon will be displayed, indicating the player is inconspicuous. The icon's appearance signals that behavior should be moderated. The different states of the Behavior Indicator are:

White Hare Icon - Suspicion

The lowest level of detection is indicated by a white hare. This can appear as an NPC searching with a hand over their brow, signifying a general sense of unease or a minor disturbance. It could be triggered by approaching a random NPC or a guard investigating a small anomaly. This state is often trivial. A white hare with a magnifying glass is more concerning, appearing when a crime has been committed and an NPC is actively searching for clues, or when enemies in a camp notice something suspicious. It also appears after Henry escapes immediate detection but before enemies give up the search.

Yellow Hare Icon - Detection

Yellow icons are highly important and indicate detection or recognition. A common example is a largely static yellow hare whose ears begin to perk up. This signifies an NPC is starting to detect or recognize Henry. As the ears rise, the level of detection increases. Once the ears are fully raised, the NPC has detected Henry, leading to further consequences. If this icon appears while sneaking, it's a cue to immediately break line of sight and find cover.

Orange Hare Icon - Warning

Once detected, NPCs will react. An orange hare pointing its finger indicates trespassing, with an NPC sternly demanding Henry leave the area. This is often accompanied by a blue or orange shield icon within restricted zones, with orange being more severe. An orange hare with its hand raised signifies detention or confrontation, where Henry is expected to stop and speak with the NPC. If an NPC decides to raise an alarm (e.g., a villager reporting to guards or bandits alerting companions), a yellow hare blowing a horn will appear, prompting the need to neutralize the informant quickly.

Red Hare Icon - Threat

These icons appear once hostilities commence. An orange hare with a sword raised indicates enemies are actively pursuing Henry but are not yet in melee range; violence is imminent, and ranged attacks may occur. When in direct combat, two hares crossing swords will be displayed.
