While browsing through the list of guilds and associations (at
http://www.zompist.com/drill4.htm), I noticed this entry:

Lapiskuskuomi? - Bunny-suit makers

which makes me wonder: Do human-sized rabbits have a ceremonial or other important purpose in Verduria? Could zomp enlighten us?

It's mostly my sense of the absurd poking through. You never know, though; someday I may explain what the bunny suits are for.

I vaguely recall a similar question coming up before, so maybe I already have. I can't find it in a quick search, though. Googling for "bunny suit", I was amused to find this paid ad:

Scileci? - Shrubbers

Is this a nod to Monty Python's Grail, or is 'shrubber' an actual profession?

Both. What, your conworlds don't have shrubbers?

What's a shrubber?

Why, someone who arranges, designs and builds shrubberies, of course. This isn't a real job anymore; like most things from Ages Gone By, it has been outsourced to cold, heartless machines. Hopefully Almea avoids such a fate.

Bunny suits?

The wabbits are coming, hoo-way, hoo-way, the wabbits are coming, hoo-way, hoo-way...

Yeah. As for shrubbers, though, I agree that every culture needs a shrubber

Bunny suits, hmm. As it so happens, I have a thing for rabbits. So much I've recently set up the International Federation of Rabbits.

If you are a rabbit, if you think you are a rabbit, or if you would like to be a rabbit, this is the association for you.

I'm thinking of drawing up a rabbit language. A bit like Richard Adams' Lapine, except ... not.

This hasn't got anything to do with anything, has it?

Well, in my realm of work, a "bunny suit" refers to a full body suit put on before a technician enters a clean room environment, to avoid contaminating the atomsphere with skin cells, shed hair, and other such bodily debris.

Dunno if that's the same in Almea.
