NPC

An NPC is a non-player character represented by a regular animal avatar in the Adventures. They are occasionally used to progress the story line of the adventure in some way, but often times they simply provide commentary that does not need to be read.

Bots
While very similar to NPCs, Bots have several distinct differences. Bots have randomly generated colors, patterns, and accessories that change each time they are introduced, whereas NPCs have specific colors, patterns, and accessories that remain the same across appearances with the exception of game updates that might change them. Additionally, Bots are not given a Nametag, they do not have a unique name, and Bots cannot be interacted with directly.

Alphas
While similar in concept to NPCs, Alphas do not resemble player characters. Alphas have completely unique character models that cannot be obtained by regular players, whereas NPCs can be mimicked by player appearances in most cases. Both Alphas and NPCs can have dialogue interactions, but the presentation of the dialogue is different with Alpha dialogue darkening the screen and appearing in the center of the screen with an animated picture of the Alpha.

Trivia

 * In the original release of Return of the Phantoms, Binky told the player that her parents had left her to look after the burrow, implying that George and Clover, the bunnies you meet inside the burrow, were her parents. However, sometime in December 2016, her dialogue was changed to say that it was her friends who left her to look after the burrow instead. It is thought that this revision was made because AJHQ didn't want to imply a child being home alone, though the exact reason for the change is unknown.
