* Julie's wounded rabbit in ''[[The Maxx]]'' could easily be described as this.
* [http://aquamanrules.blogspot.com/2010/04/have-happy-easter-if-you-dare.html Have a Happy Easter - IF YOU DARE!]
* Max from ''[[Sam and Max]]'' is an adorable rabbity creature ([[Insistent Terminology|he prefers the term 'lagomorph']] which is [[Viewers Are Geniuses|the taxonomic family containing rabbits, hares and pikas]]), but he has razor-sharp, serrated carnivore teeth and 'dead, sharklike eyes'. He's also a [[Psychopathic Manchild]] who is referred to in his own series as a [[Heroic Sociopath|sociopath]]. The games suggest he has obscenely powerful psychic potential and show him as having an inherent connection to [[Cosmic Horror|Cosmic Horrors]]s. He also exploits his own cuteness to gain favours from other characters, or get them to let their guard down for an attack.

== 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.
* ''[[BioShock (series)]]'' 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.

== Webcomics ==
* Weasel Queen's Lapinomorphs from ''[[Girl Genius]]''.
* [http://zebragirl.keenspot.com/d/20091123.html Black Betty] from ''[[Zebra Girl]]''. Not to mention at least one other character who appears to be a compatriot. <ref>The creator of the webcomic, Joe England, also appears in rabbit form. Joe is rather fond of rabbits in general, after seeing [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]] as a child.</ref>
* ''[[Sluggy Freelance|Sluggy Freelance's]]'' [[Ax Crazy]] [[Killer Rabbit]] Bun-Bun.
* The episode "Now you see her" of ''[[The Wotch]]'', involves {{spoiler|a stage magician's rabbit getting trapped in the hat's pocket dimension, growing to enormous proportions and kidnapping magicians' assistants}}.

== 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]]s.
* 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 161:
* 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 and the Seven Dwarfs (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 ''[[CatDog]]'' is not just a complete [[Jerkass]] but the Mayor and obscenely rich to boot. And he never lets anyone forget it, either.
