Rabbit monsters

[Huw]

I had a weird thought the other day. How many rabbit/hare based monsters are there in the genre. My off-the-top-of-my-head list was surprisingly long;

• Wabbits (Gamma World)
• Al-mi'raj
• Jackalopes
• Moon Folk (Magic: the Gathering)
• Vorpal bunny (Monty Python)

I'm not counting furries (no Usagi Yojimbo or Redwall either), and I'm not sure whether to count the Watership Down bunnies. Still, can anyone think of more, especially any serious ones?

Beware the innocent looking bunnyoid sitting on a tree stump!

"Wabbits?" I remember the Gamma World games I played (the first two editions) having humanoid rabbits which were called "Hoops" and large rabbit riding mounts called "Hoppers." I'm assuming they were renamed in later editions, then?

Dragon Magazine also had a "Dragon's Bestiary" article called "Magical Crossbreeds" that brought the duckbunny into the AD&D game. (I know, because I was the one who inflicted it upon the world. Bwa ha ha ha!)

Oh, and the "bunny on the tree stump" monster that Shadeydm mentioned was the infamous wolf-in-sheep's-clothing.

Night of the Lepus.

Giant Killer Mutant, Bloodthirsty Bunnies run loose in the desert, slaughtering all in their way.

Chessy horror flick of the 70's.

I'm assuming LSD & someone's pet bunny is somehow responsible for this.

Earthdawn has the 'Preces': Hares with poisonous barbs on their forelegs.

In one of Rolemaster's creature compilations there's stats for a 'killer rabbit' that was obviously inspired by the Monty Python movie.

The 'Beyond Zork' interactive adventure game has 'dust bunnies'.

In the kids' version of the genre, there's the vampire rabbit Bunnicula.

There is also the Duckbunny from a Dragon Magazine (#243 to be exact).

You can find the 3r ed Conversion right here on EN World in fact (though the creature lacks the deadliness of other Rodent/Avian Crossbreeds)

Someone really needs to write up a dire rabbit.
