The Easter carrot is a holiday reward from the 2009 Easter event, received upon its completion. When equipped, it gives the option to whack another player, which makes you appear to hit the other player with the huge carrot. This is merely for effect, and no damage is actually dealt. Just like with the rubber chicken, whacking other players too many times will cause the player to 'fumble' the Easter carrot and automatically drop it on the ground with a message saying "You drop your carrot on the floor!", where it can be picked up again. It may be stored in a toy box in a player-owned house. It has the options wield, use, drop, and examine.

The carrot could be reobtained from Diango if lost. Since carrots can be dropped, players could drop a carrot and ask for another one from Diango to gain multiple carrots. Now you cannot have more than one carrot, when you try to "drop trick" a message "You don't need another carrot. You already have one!" appears.

Trivia

File:Easter Carrot Whacking.gif

Two players whacking each other with the Easter carrot.

• The examine text is "Spreading carroty goodness since 2009", making it one of the few items in RuneScape that have a real life date in its examine.
• The animations used for the Easter carrot (such as attacking and running) are the same animations used for the Ivandis flail.
• The Easter Carrot was one of the very first items that had their animations tweened.
• Many players were disappointed when this was released due to its similarity to the rubber chicken, which led to many complaints on the Official Forums.
• This item, while being called a carrot, is actually somewhat of a large club with a tassle and metal plates attached
• The carrot has large negative attack bonuses, making it almost impossible to actually damage players or monsters. Because of this, the Easter carrot was popular for building up PvP drop potential. Two players who trust each other and are around the same combat level would attack each other in a Hot Zone with the carrot while carrying 75k wealth or more. This made sure neither of them would lose health and they couldn't be attacked by another player.

Glitches

The message that appears when a player is whacked with an Easter carrot.

• If players whack someone in Castle Wars, they get a message which says "They don't have the enemy flag", even if they do.
• Many glitches are available while using the "Whack" option. These include whacking someone and then quickly using the emote Around the World in Eggty Days. It then shows the animation of the egg moving, but as your character is already moving, all that you can see is a poof of smoke, with the egg appearing out of nowhere and then disappearing again. This same trick also works with the "Play with" option the player can use whilst having Eek, to make the spider appear in front of you, spin the web and disappear. In total, this item can be used to glitch the animation of the "Play with" option of Eek, the explore emote, the Give thanks emote, the Around the World in Eggty Days emote, and many others.
• If a player whacks another player then immediately does a graphically complex emote such as Freeze and Melt, the graphics will play around the player as they stay still.
• There is a glitch during or after completing the 2010 Easter Event in which players can receive an Easter Carrot from Diango despite not doing the original holiday event. The Easter Carrot has also been reported to appear in a POH Toy Box even if the 2009 event had not been completed. This has been speculated to occur due to the 2009 Easter Event being replicated/part of the 2010 Easter Event. A similar glitch occurred during the 2010 Hallowe'en event.
