Hares are a type of small game. Due to their size, hares are not visible on the world map, but they can be tracked and are often stumbled across while wandering. They are non-aggressive and quite weak, relying on burst speed to escape when faced with a threat.
Hares have more endurance than many small game animals, but they are still not terribly difficult to chase down. After fleeing for an hour or two of game-time, a hare should reach breathless state, and its mobility will slow to a crawl. This allows you to easily bring your prey down with Blunt attacks, protecting the hide.
Hare furs, even of superior quality, are not quite as valuable as some of the other small game pelts. It may be best to stick with skinning the hares that fall into your traps, rather than spending time trying to run them down. That is, unless you haven't eaten in a while.
Hares have special fondness to turnips. The speedy animal will risk their life to obtain them.
URW Game Encyclopedia description
The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) describes the hare thusly:
The weight of the hare is typically about 3 kg but can be even 5 kg. Hares live mainly in the forests all around the Unreal World. It is actively seeking food in the twilight and in the night-time. In the day time it sleeps in any simple natural shelter. The hare fur is snowwhite in the winter and sandbrown in the summer.
