Fiver (Lapine: Hrair-roo, sometimes Hrairoo) is a fictional character: a buck rabbit who is one of the central characters in Richard Adams' novel Watership Down. He was born in at Sandleford, and is the younger brother of Hazel. Fiver's Lapine name, literally "little thousand" comes from the fact that he was the smallest rabbit of at least five in his litter. We are told that rabbits cannot count beyond four, so all numbers greater than this are hrair, or "thousand", although in this case Adams renders it into English as "five". Fiver is timid and physically weak, but has a form of sixth sense which gives him the ability to foresee certain events, although these visions are often rather vague and clouded. Lapine is an artificial language constructed by Richard Adams and spoken by the fictional rabbits of his novel Watership Down. ...

Near the beginning of the book, Fiver becomes terrified by a vision of "the field ... covered with blood", and persuades Hazel that it is necessary to leave the warren at once. The two brothers visit the Chief Rabbit but cannot convince him of the danger, so Hazel organises a secret escape party. Bigwig in particular is skeptical of Fiver's gifts at first, but after his near death in the snare at Cowslip's warren he changes his views and becomes far more willing to listen to what Fiver has to say.

Fiver is credited with saving Hazel's life by finding his near-unconscious brother after the latter is shot at Nuthanger Farm; this forms the Bright Eyes sequence in the feature film. In the story's climax, the assault on the Watership warren by the General Woundwort's force, Fiver again falls into a trance, and his vision inspires Hazel to set up the release of the Nuthanger Farm dog which eventually defeats the Efrafans. Some time later Bigwig, who is badly wounded when fighting Woundwort during the struggle, remarks that Fiver has paid a higher price than even himself for the victory. However, he at least has also found a mate, the formerly-Efrafan doe Vilthuril, whom he loves deeply and who understands his personal burdens.

In the TV series, Fiver and Hazel's fur color is the same, except Hazel is slimmer and Fiver has gray eyes. He is also much shorter than his brother. His visions normally seem to be triggered by a word or an action, and when they come he speaks them in rhyme.
