FAQ
Who is Karun in Project Rabbit?
Is Karun the Mad Hatter?
Why does Karun look Joseon-era?
Can we fight Karun in a public demo?
Karun is the clearest named boss NovaFlare has attached to Project Rabbit in verified interview and social sources. Public information is thin: identity, family tie to the Mad Hatter, nickname Mad Eater, and a Joseon-influenced region. Stats, phases, and story outcomes are not announced as of 2026-11-12.
What is confirmed about Karun?
| Detail | Statement | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Karun | Inven Global photo caption (May 2026); NovaFlare X post quoted by Gamesurf (Nov 2026) |
| Nickname | Mad Eater (not “Mad Hatter”) | NovaFlare X post quoted by Gamesurf; Inven photo caption |
| Carroll link | Son of the Mad Hatter | NovaFlare in the Inven interview; X post quoted by Gamesurf |
| Visual misread | Looks like a Joseon warrior/general to many viewers | Inven — NovaFlare says he is actually a Mad Hatter homage |
| Region style | Only Karun’s region uses Joseon-era eastern concept | Inven |
NovaFlare’s 10 November 2026 social post (quoted by Gamesurf) says Karun “hasn’t been himself lately. Or anyone else, really.” That line is flavor text, not a mechanics document.
How Karun fits the wider map
In the same Inven interview, NovaFlare said Wonderland is not fully eastern-themed. Trailer elements such as a White Rabbit statue in a dopo robe can mislead viewers into thinking the whole game is eastern fantasy; developers clarified only Karun’s area follows the Joseon-era pitch.
They plan five concept regions (four plus a central castle). Other regions’ identities and whether Karun’s zone is a starter area are not announced. Broader setting: /lore/abyss-of-time-and-blood-queen/.
What Karun is not (on record)
We lack verified confirmation for:
- Health, resistances, or recommended gear tier
- Arena name, quest chain, or repeat encounter rules
- Voice actor, full dialogue, or death cinematic script
- Whether “Mad Eater” is a title, class, or corruption state beyond the nickname
- Inclusion in the first Early Access slice (whenever that ships)
PlayX4 May 2026 reports mention visitors found the show-floor build difficult; that does not single out Karun’s tuning.
Why this page stays short
NovaFlare has shown Karun in trailers and named him in interviews, but has not published a boss guide, art book, or codex entry. This article intentionally stops where sources stop. When official materials add verifiable facts, this page should grow—not before.
