– Lucky in the Joy Joy Gang's voiceline reveal trailer | ||
Lucky the Rabbit is one of the many enemies in Dark Deception. He will make his first appearance in Chapter 4, and is one of the main enemies in the level "Mascot Mayhem". He shares the level with the other Joy Joy Gang members: Hangry, Penny, the boss of the level: Joy Kill, and the clones of the Joy Joy Gang.
Appearance
Lucky appears as a yellow, anthropomorphic, animatronic rabbit with a lighter color to his muzzle, inner ears, and stomach. Like Penny, he has four fingers.
Lucky has large white eyes and buckteeth, with his mouth forming a light smile. He appears to be wearing dark brown gloves and dark grey slippers, while also wearing a lavender bow tie.
He has metallic, red eyes and rotten, human-like teeth with his normal buck teeth absent, in his frenzy mode form.
Behavior
In "Mascot Mayhem", he, Hangry, and Penny will all be after the player. His ability, revealed in his music video called "Bad Rabbit," is his own speed boost, which causes him to instantly glow red and chase down the player at an extremely fast pace. It is also confirmed that his speed boost ability would be RNG-based.
Lucky will also rely on wall cameras throughout the level to locate where Doug is, as seen in the music video. Most likely, Doug will use the Vanish power to avoid getting detected by both the wall cameras as well as Lucky and the other animatronics.
Personality
| “ | Where you goin', buddy? The fun's just started! | ” |
– Lucky | ||
Lucky is extremely egotistical and selfish, often complimenting himself and claiming that he never loses. He is also the most sadistic member of his gang, spitting out menacing threats to his victims.
Lucky likes to boss the other two members and talk to each other to find Doug. Lucky hates Bierce but doesn’t admit it directly.
Lucky's personality is expanded in his song, "Bad Rabbit". In the song, he is constantly heard swearing, complimenting himself, and spitting out bitter remarks, emphasizing his self-confident and fierce persona.
His personality and demeanor also suggest he could be an embodiment of Doug Houser's past ego, as Doug was originally an extremely selfish and arrogant person.
Trivia
