Who is Barney in Animal Hospital and how do you deal with him?

Question 3 of 21

A

Barney is one of the most dangerous anomalies in Animal Hospital Anomaly. He appears as a white rabbit-like creature wearing a brown hat, mustache, and plaid pants. Barney starts as a seemingly harmless customer asking for coffee, but his requests escalate over time from favors to dangerous demands like asking for a surgical scalpel.

How to Deal with Barney:

  • 1. Early Interactions: Comply with his initial coffee requests to keep him calm
  • 2. Time Management: Never make him wait over 120 seconds - he becomes aggressive
  • 3. Final Confrontation: When Officer Duckman arrives with a wanted poster, choose between:
  • Report Barney (press E): He attacks the officer and destroys a camera before fleeing
  • Stay silent (30 seconds): Officer leaves, Barney rewards you with an extra coffee machine

Critical Tip: Barney is unpredictable and can turn violent quickly. Always keep an eye on his mood and be prepared to hide or confront him depending on your playstyle.
