Line 29:
* Inverted by Rukia of ''[[Bleach|Bleach's]]'' illustrations of the hollow as meaner versions of the same bunnies that depict regular souls. Despite depicting soul-eating monsters, they're ridiculously cute. [[Fridge Logic|It is also justified because hollows are created from them.]]
* The first episode of ''[[Pet Shop of Horrors]]'' has a rich couple who lost a daughter visiting Count D's shop and taking home a very rare species of rabbit that looks exactly like said daughter. Unfortunately, their love for their daughter leads them to break one of the rules of Count D's contract, and much horrificness with flesh-eating Killer Rabbits ensues.
* Laplace's Demon from ''[[Rozen Maiden]]'' manifests as an extremely creepy humanoid albino rabbit in tuxedo.
* ''[[One Piece]]'' gives us rappan, a breed of giant, carnivorous, incredibly unpleasant rabbit-monster, as well as a sea monsters that looks like a rappan with the back end of a very large shark.
* In ''[[Yaiba]]'' we have [[Big Bad|Princess]] [[Moon Rabbit|Kaguya's]] [[One-Winged Angel|True form]], which looks like a freaky hydra-bunny with fangs and [[Eye Beams]].
Line 48:
== Film ==
* Frank from ''[[Donnie Darko]]''.
* The Killer Rabbit of Caerbanog from ''[[Monty Python and
* General Woundwort of the animated adaptation of ''[[Watership Down]]''. (Pictured above)
* Boingo from ''[[Hoodwinked]]''.
* ''Rabbits'' by [[David Lynch]]. "In a nameless city deluged by a continuous rain... three rabbits live with a fearful mystery." Originally web-based video, it was released as a film and features as a [[Show Within a Show]] in the film ''[[Inland Empire]]''.
* In ''[[Sexy Beast]]'', the main character has a nightmare that a giant rabbit with a gun is coming to kill him.
* ''[[Twilight Zone the Movie]]''. In the updated version of "[[It's a Good Life]]", the local [[Reality Warper]] asks his uncle to [[Pull a Rabbit Out of My Hat|pull a rabbit out of a hat]] as a magic trick, then the rabbit turns into a hairless, hulking, snarling monstrosity before it goes back into the hat.
Line 68:
== Literature ==
* [[Robert Rankin]]'s book ''The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse''.
* Tends to be in a lot of [[Darker and Edgier]] incarnations of ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]''. The original character is merely manic and unsettling.
* ''[[Bunnicula]]''. Half rabbit, half-vampire, all terror! He sucks the juice out of carrots.
* ''The Black Rabbit of Inle'' from ''[[Watership Down]]'' short story of the same name, not to mention General Woundwort himself.
* In ''[[The Velveteen Rabbit]]'', the plush toy bunny gets saturated with germs when the Boy who owns it suffers from scarlet fever.
Line 92:
* The electronica/darkwave band [[The Birthday Massacre]] practically live and breathe this trope. Every album art features at least one Franken-bunny. Usually feature several.
* The rabbits in ''Alice Human Sacrifice''.
* The music video for the song "Sour Girl" by the ''Stone Temple Pilots'' features some Teletubby-esque rabbits that are pretty scary - or at least, creepy.
* The artwork from Eths' 4th album, ''Teratologie'', features dead rabbits. ''Flayed'' dead rabbits.
* ''Echo and the Bunnymen'' is the name of a creepy, dark post-punk band.
Line 109:
== Theater ==
* Before a significant [[Retool]] dropped them, [[Cirque Du Soleil|Cirque du Soleil's]] magic show collaboration with Criss Angel, ''Believe'', had tons of these once the action shifted to Angel's mind when he was "injured" in a stunt gone wrong.
Line 117:
== Videogames ==
* From ''[[Kingdom Hearts]] : [[Birth By Sleep]]'', we have a type of enemy called the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Hare]][[Hair-Raising Hare|raiser]]. Small, cuddly, and seemingly harmless. It shows up in one of the first levels avaliable to you when you play as Aqua, and are teeny-tiny compared to other early enemies. However, these things can attack multiple times with one move, do a lot of damage with every hit, and kill you before you can finish going "D'aww". Worse, they typically appear in packs of four or more. And there is usually [[It Got Worse|more than one pack]] in a given location.
* The Black Rabite from [[Seiken Densetsu 3]]. Rabites are mostly harmless, even though they can have levels in [[SD 3]] and can occasionally outclass you, but the black rabite is the [[Bonus Boss|hardest boss in the game.]] You will never feel safe around a one-footed rabbit again.
Line 128:
* ''[[Cave Story]]'': Mimigas + red flowers = Good God! It's dashing at me and/or shooting at me!
* The [[Cosmic Horror]] Nahatomb in ''[[Klonoa]]: Door to Phantomile''.
* ''[[Irisu Syndrome]]'' has a very prevalent bunny motif.
* The Social Bunny in ''[[The Sims|The Sims 2]]''.
* Urxus/[[Spell My Name with an "S"|Urukususu]] in ''[[Monster Hunter|Monster Hunter Portable 3rd]]'': a fifteen-foot-long giant snow hare with an armored torso and an unpleasant temper.
* One of the contestants in the video game ''Whacked!'' is an amputee rabbit named Lucky who has quite the violent temper.
* The rabbit-imps in ''[[Rule of Rose]]'' are no less creepy than the standard variety.
* Subject 3 from ''[[Professor Layton and the Unwound Future]]''. He's a former lab animal who, after years of being subjected to horrific experiments, has a rather dim view of humanity. Like everyone else in the Layton-verse, however, he's willing to forget about his threats to rearrange your kneecaps and let you pass if you solve a puzzle first.
* ''[[Touhou]]'' Reisen Udongein Inaba, when she's using her madness-inducing power.
Line 138:
* T-Hoppy from the ''[[Clay Fighter]]'' series is a musclebound rabbit with a machine gun for an arm. He seems to be the most verbally abusive character in a game full of verbally abusive characters.
* The Rabbit from [[Alice Is Dead]] is a [[Career Killers|Career Killer]] working with the Mad Hatter.
* Members of the virtually extinct Taguel race in ''[[Fire Emblem: Awakening]]'' are capable of transforming into sleek rabbit beasts with some wolf-like characteristics. They're talented at taking down ground cavalry, and focus more on speed and skill then their fellow shapeshifters, the Manaketes.
Line 152:
== Web Original ==
* [http://sketchybunnies.failblog.org/ Sketchy Bunnies] is a new section of the Cheezburger Network dedicated entirely to pictures of terrifying Easter Bunnies. Most examples are people in rabbit suits that unintentionally descend right through the depths of [[Uncanny Valley]] and come out via the realm of [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]].
* In the same vein, a darker rendition of the Easter Bunny by a [[Deviant ART]] member portrays it as an evil abomination with two tumorous appendages on its head which its potential victims mistaken for ears before mutilating and feasting on their organs http://skinpupcoss.deviantart.com/art/Easter-Bunny-209353936. Then there's the buck rabbit... http://karzrave.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d309kqn.
Line 167:
** In "Applebuck Season," a herd of stampeding bunnies causes just as much havoc (or perhaps more) as a stampede of cattle.
** Angel is an adorable bunny who is friends with [[Shrinking Violet]] and [[Friend to All Living Things]] Fluttershy, but is also bad-tempered and pushy, and frequently tries to pester Fluttershy into being more assertive.
*** As of "Putting Your Hoof Down," Angel is pretty much a [[Domestic Abuser]].
** Then there are the "Slenderbunnies", regular rabbits (including Angel) twisted by Discord. At one point, Twilight Sparkle gets trampled by them.
* In ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'', a temporarily super-powered Calendar Man sends a stampede of 'killer Easter Bunnies' to attack Batman.
