Dreambunny (referred to as Fluffykins by Eldream) is Eldream's pet who is found in the Dream World during the events of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. It is a small creature resembling a rabbit's head, manifesting as an armless, headless pink rabbit with its face (without a mouth or nose) where the belly should be and rabbit ears where the head should be.
When Mario and Luigi begin searching for Eldream's Nightmare Chunk in Dreamy Mushrise Park, they soon find out that Dreambunny has it but will not give it away. After some more failed attempts to catch the rabbit, the Bros. run into Dreamy Brickle who also wants to catch Dreambunny in order for his theme park to gain popularity. The Bros. eventually get the chunk by chasing the rabbit into a dead end, making Dreambunny willing to give it up. They shatter the Nightmare Chunk, which reveals Eldream. The Pi'illo states that Dreambunny is his pet, and after a reunion, decides to help the Bros. by opening up a portal to Dream's Deep. Dreambunny assists him in this task by drilling into the ground and drilling out the same way, thereby creating the portal. It later helped get an unconscious Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach back to the real world after defeating Antasma and Bowser in Dream's Deep. Dreambunny is not seen again for the rest of the game.
Dreambunny appears in Pi'illoper's book, The Legend of Pi'illo Island, which is based on Pi'illo Island's past. In it, after the Pi'illos were petrified, Dreambunny found Eldream. It slept against the pillow, as though it were trying to protect him.
