Ah, rabbits. Who could possibly think of a more cute, cuddly, and harmless creature? With their wriggling noses, comically long ears, and fuzzy little tails, they're just so adorable!

Line 120:

* 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.

* ''[[~~Bioshock~~]]'' makes strong use of this trope. Splicers wear bloodied bunny masks. The mad artist Sander Cohen is fixated with rabbits, using rabbit masks in his tableaux and rabbits in his... poetry.

* An Easter Egg Hunt themed ''[[Warcraft|Warcraft 3]]'' map has seriously horrifying bunnies.

* Robbie the Rabbit from the ''[[Silent Hill]]'' games.

Line 140:

* 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.

* Bonnie from ''Five Nights at Freddy's'' is a terrifying bunny animatronic, and due to his aggressive behavior is probably the one that will jump scare the player the most before Freddy joins in on the fun. He's especially unnerving in that he can sometimes be found staring directly into the backstage camera, his eyes looking [[Black Eyes of Evil|pitch-black]], and has a similar looking face show up as a very rare game over screen. Funnily enough, he's also the only animatronic who actually gave the creator Scott Cawthorn nightmares while the game was being developed.

** In the sequel, Bonnie is even more unnerving thanks to the fact that his face has been [[Body Horror|''completely ripped off'', and he's missing an arm as well.]] His eyes have been reduced to two red glowing pinpricks shining from his endoskeleton. Like the rest of the Fazbear gang, he has a more child-friendly looking counterpart in Toy Bonnie who is every bit as aggressive and kill-happy as his predecessor, and unique among the animatronics as he's the only one who will slide across the player's eyesight, staring right into their soul if you put on the Freddy mask around him. Also like his predecessor, he has a unique game-over screen that has his eyes pitch-black.

** And to make things worse, there's an [[Eldritch Abomination]] [[Living Shadow]] version of Bonnie simply dubbed Shadow Bonnie, who is completely pitch black with glowing white eyes and teeth who has a very small chance of appearing in the player's office and will crash the game if looked at for too long. In total, there are ''three'' scary rabbits in the second game alone.

Line 159:

== Western Animation ==

* In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', Homer draws bunny faces on electrical sockets to scare Maggie away from touching them. When Marge points out that Maggie's not scared of rabbits, Homer replies "She will be." In their parody of ''[[Snow White (Disney film)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarves]]'', the forest animals attack the wicked queen and the shadow of a killer rabbit, with sharp teeth and claws, is seen.

* In ''[[Strawberry Shortcake|Strawberry Shortcake: Sky's the Limit!]]'', the girls are at one point threatened by a herd of stampeding bunnies.

* [[Bugs Bunny]] can come off as a relatively nice guy, until you piss him off. ("Of course you realize this means war!") One cartoon had him raising Hell just because someone said rabbits were harmless. <ref>Ironically, the episode that [[Trope Namer|named this trope]] does not feature a particularly frightening Bugs.</ref>

* The bunny from ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]''. To be more specific, a pet conjured up by a [[Jerkass Genie]]. After Pud'n defeats the bunny and he mourns him, [[Not Quite Dead|the bunny returns]] "It's okay, Pud'n, I forgive you. I forgive you because I love you, and I love you, to death."

* Rancid Rabbit, the major heavy from ''[[~~Cat Dog~~]]'' is not just a complete [[Jerkass]] but the Mayor and obscenely rich to boot. And he never lets anyone forget it, either.

* ''[[Spliced]]'' - The Wunny Sharbit, a genetically altered Rabbit with the teeth of a shark and a chainsaw.

* In the ''[[Generator Rex]]'' episode "Operation: Wingman", one of these wtfpwns Rex and runs away. Several times throughout the course of the episode. It's eventually killed with a rocket launcher. Did I mention it's a giant mutant monster bunny with sharp teeth and six legs?
