Cabbage (April Fools)

On 2009 April Fools, cabbages began exhibiting odd behaviour; such as bouncing up and down, and moving away and shouting catch phrases when a player attempted to pick them up. People would try to pick them up and they would bounce off saying phrases, and if the players caught them, they would have a wieldable cabbage. If you use it with another similar cabbage the following appears: This is not the hidden message you're looking for. You can also make compost out of them.

Cabbages have always had a history of being involved in some way for April Fools day. For example, previously, any censored word would be replaced by the word "Cabbage."

When players attempted to pick a cabbage, the cabbage would pop up and say a random phrase before hopping around, such as: The players could run around trying to catch the cabbage once it had been picked. There were three options when right-clicking the bouncy cabbages when not wielding a cabbage:
 * "I'm free!!"
 * "All hail Brassica Prime!"
 * "Whee!"
 * "Come on, you greens!"
 * "Pick someone your own size!"
 * "Hahaha!"
 * "CABBAGE!"
 * "Muahaha!"
 * "Bounce, bounce, bounce!"
 * "Wigglewoo!"
 * "LOL!"
 * "B'doing!"
 * "Whoopsie!"


 * Tap which would cause the cabbage to slightly move the opposing direction in which you kicked it from.
 * Kick which would move it even further in the opposing direction you kicked it form.
 * Catch which put the cabbage in the player's inventory.

The cabbages could also bounce off against any objects such as fences, walls and trees.

When caught, the cabbages can be wielded in the weapons slot. If players turn Accept Aid on and wield the cabbage, they can chuck the cabbage to another player who also has Accept Aid on and has both hands free by selecting Chuck player name when clicking the player. If you are wielding a cabbage and have another one in your inventory, the second one will be equipped after you throw the one you're wielding at someone. The wield stats of the cabbages are: {|

If one picks a cabbage from a cabbage patch other than the one near Draynor Village, it will also have the same functions as the ones jumping around.

Kicking, and tapping a cabbage to Oo'glog, in the far south west of the RuneScape map, allows the cabbage to meet Brassica Prime. A level 11 cabbage named after the latin name for the family to which cabbages belong.



Trivia

 * If you tried to pick up a cabbage while your inventory is full, it would say "You don't have room for this cabbage."
 * There were 2 types of cabbage (3 including the Draynor manor cabbage) released on this day. A catchable one, and a kickable one.
 * Kicking the cabbages all the way from Falador to Oo'glog would let you see the Brassica Prime.
 * Wielding a cabbage yields -1 in Stab, Slash, and Crush for defense.
 * When attacking with a cabbage, you will do the regular kick/punch emotions.
 * Sometimes when a player is holding a cabbage, the cabbage will merge with their stomach (this is because of a graphical glitch that also happens with Two-handed swords and other weapons).
 * The hidden message may be a play on the Star Wars quote: "| These are not the droids you are looking for."
 * If you try to enter Soul Wars with a cabbage, it will say "Cabbages are not trusted in this arena."
 * You can use the Explorer's ring to teleport to the Cabbage field, where you can catch a cabbage fairly quickly by trapping the cabbage against the wall/fence.
 * If you die with your cabbage while it is wielded it will say, "Oh no, you have lost your cabbage!"
 * If you are weilding green d'hide chaps (g) the gold part arount the knee would stretch to the cabbage.
 * One of the phrases which the cabbages might say, "Come on you greens", might be a play on Come on You Reds, a song by the 1994 Manchester United football squad along with rock group Status Quo.
 * If you examine a cabbage with the Tap option, it says "Cabbage, but not as we know it." This could be a reference to Shakespeare's comedy As You Like It.
