I've never heard of rice cakes until now, I was going to say he may be mixing 'moon/star dust' since he came from a moon.

The only issue I have with the "pounding mochi" theory is that there appears to be liquid pouring out of the "hammer". So... hammers don't usually double as cups. At least where I'm from. sweatdrop

Mmm...mochi ice cream..

Anyhoo, this moon bunny reminds me of the one from Maple Story, who is also pounding mochi for rice cakes.

I'm pretty sure that the mochi is sticking to the hammer and not
pouring out of it.

Smashing a dead gaian...jk...
Yea its making mochi<3

Hermes Bunbun is pounding mochi for great justice. biggrin He's like your little rice slave. He's around so that you can sell all of the things that he works SO HARD to create, and make money off the fruits of his labor.

Don't you feel horrible?

[noisebeast]

Maybe he's making some crystal meth?
If he is, then we'd better get a pot smoking frog, too.

It's a myth.

The Moon Bunny makes rice cakes.

As for the fags that are saying ITS A RIP OFF OF MAPLESTORY!!! It actually derives from japanese myth if I'm correct. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's making rice cakes.

Couldn't the visitor be Chang-O? She usually hangs out with the bunny on the moon.

Here are some pics and video of the mochi-pounding process:

And here if you scroll down you can see why people in Asia see a rabbit instead of a man on the moon:

The venerable legend of "The White Rabbit of Inaba," and the fable of "The Tortoise and the Hare" are proof that Japanese have been interested in rabbits through the ages. The fact that these creatures are so prolific has made them an appropriate symbol of wealth.
Perhaps the first linkage of hoppers and the moon came from India, where one legend tells of a rabbit that cannot bear to see people starve and jumps into the fire so they can have food. As a reward for this self-sacrifice, the god Indra is said to have taken the rabbit to the moon. The story then traveled to China. There, the rabbit has become a pharmacist, mixing medicines with mortar and pestle.
The tale then passed to Japan, where the rabbit is pounding mochi rice cakes, instead of pulverizing medicinal herbs. All over the world, people have likened the shadows on the moon to all sorts of things, but the Japanese have always been infatuated with the idea of the rabbit pounding mochi. This can be seen at traditional confectionary shops throughout the nation, where people stand in line to buy cakes with a rabbit motif for the autumn moon-viewing season.

Good Information...from some random site!

I still believe the bunny is preparing for the special ones arrival...

[Comatoes]

I just hope he doesn't turn mean like Fausto. I think he should stay cute his entire evolution.

I beliebe that the bunny is making frosting for cakes.

Instead of seeing a man in the moon, the Japanese see a bunny pounding mochi. The Hermes Moon bunny is very cute indeed. ^^ Maybe later on we'll get a tray of rice cakes, or a giant mochi hammer, since most of the other evolving items have some sort of weapon form.

That is so true. A mochi hammer would be the perfect weapon for this little evolving item.

Awww its too cute! I dont want the mallet to be a weapon!!!

Now that you mention it, it does look a bit like liquid.
