History KillerRabbit / VideoGames

** Several examples in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'', most notably one of the ultra-difficult {{Bonus Boss}}es, Despotic Arsene, a Level 108 [[CallARabbitASmeerp Bunnia]]. For a point of reference, the Final Boss, [[spoiler:a freaking God]], is estimated to be around the mid-eighties in level. For another point of reference, the other {{Bonus Boss}}es are giant beasts, dragons or large powerful robots.

*** [[spoiler:And then there's Chi-Yu, a legendary [[EvilIsBurningHot Dark/Fire]] embodiment of envy that is MadeOfEvil who, along with its three partners-in-crime, brought ruin to an ancient empire before being [[SealedEvilInACan sealed]], and its Pokédex entry states it can burn so hot to ''melt the ground''. So how does it look like? A small ''[[FiendishFish goldfish]]''. (that lore bit about melting the ground? So that it can ''swim'' in it) This is especially jarring when you find out that its partners-in-crime are a literal {{Snowy Sabertooth|s}} (Chien-Pao), a huge moose (Ting-Lu) and a giant snail (Wo-Chien), each being considerably larger than Chi-Yu.]]

*** Clodsire might look a bit doofy, being a quadrupedal Poison/Ground-type Quagsire and all. However, it has ''obscene'' HP and Special Defense along with being able to learn Amnesia, making it last even longer against special attackers. It can even do a DeathorGloryAttack that involves sticking out massive spines from its body. It also happens to be the ace of Rika, an ''Elite Four member.''

*** [[spoiler:There's Scream Tail and Iron Bundle, both from [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Area Zero]]. The former is an ancient paradox pokemon that heavily resembles Jigglypuff. The latter is a futuristic paradox pokemon that resembles Delibird. Despite their cute appearance, they are actually dangerous pokemon that will pursue the player if they spot them. Penny was easily deceived by their cute appearance and she was almost brutally attacked by them if it wasn't for the player intervening.]]

* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIIThroneOfBhaal'', you can meet a chinchilla (using a rabbit model) who happens to be a Bhaalspawn [[DivineParentage demigod]], just like the PC. This means that not only can she talk, but move unnaturally fast, cast high-level spells, and shift into a humanoid form with the statistics of a [[OurLycanthropesAreDifferent wolfwere]].

* ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' brings us the Clumsy Robot, whose combat actions include sweeping up dustbunnies, picking up nuts and bolts that jiggled loose from its body, eating bologna sandwiches, accidentally firing party-devastating beams and missiles while tripping over its own two feet and being completely unkillable by all normal forms of attack. The party eventually has to be bailed out by the Runaway Five...who simply run in while it's distracted and turn it off.

*** First, there are Scream Tail and Iron Bundle, both from [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Area Zero]]. The former is an ancient paradox pokemon that heavily resembles Jigglypuff. The latter is a futuristic paradox pokemon that resembles Delibird. Despite their cute appearance, they are actually dangerous pokemon that will pursue the player if they spot them. Penny was easily deceived by their cute appearance and she was almost brutally attacked by them if it wasn't for the player intervening.

** The knife-carrying, explosive and possessed-by-the-souls-of-criminals penguins known as Prinnies from most of the games since ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness''. [[spoiler:And as if the regular ones weren't bad enough, the [[OneWingedAngel final ultimate form]] of Overlord Baal, the most powerful BonusBoss in all said games is a prinny as well]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Shadow Warrior|1997}}'' plays this entirely straight in a ShoutOut to ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''. Throughout the game, you can find little rabbits running around and can even kill them without a problem. However, in one secret area, you will find a rabbit that's out for blood, complete with a discarded helmet and grail. Lo Wang will even exclaim "That's no ordinary rabbit," as the little furry menace rushes at you and begins to gnaw away your health!
** The [[VideoGame/ShadowWarrior2013 reboot]] brings this back, where if you kill enough random rabbits, the next one you attack will be a BonusBoss of sorts. It turns black, begins crackling with demonic energy, it can teleport, it laughs off gunfire and requires several sword strikes to kill, and heavy metal music plays while it runs after you trying to kill you.

* [[MascotMook Jack Frost]] in the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' games, when he appears as a BonusBoss.

* The deadliest monsters in ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile'' are neither dragons nor demons. No, the deadliest creatures in the game are... hamsters. [[BossInMookClothing And they will slaughter your party if you don't know how to handle them]]. In the BonusDungeon of both games, there is a possibility that you may fight hamsters right before the BonusBoss ...it's actually ''worth'' killing the Angel Iseria Queen, BonusBoss of the game, ''10 times'' to receive the [[InfinityPlusOneSword Angel Slayer]] as it may give you a chance to hurt the hamsters.

** Rabites, which are sort of [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Rabite_Mana.png blobby killer rabbits]]. Although the yellow ones are little more than a nuisance, even to a small child, some of the other colors really are quite dangerous, especially the [[BonusBoss black ones]].

*** [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking Kurasame Susaya]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyType0'' has a Tonberry as a pet, nicknamed the "Reaper's Right Hand". This one is on the player's side as a GuestStarPartyMember if Kurasame isn't available for Support Personnel[[labelnote:*]]In the PSP version, SP is multiplayer and he's there if there's no other players; in ''Type-0 HD'', it's random staff members and he's chosen at random. Tonberry takes over when the story mandates Kurasame is unavailable[[/labelnote]]. Tonberry comes equipped with the biggest knife he could find, two anti-OneHitKill accessories[[labelnote:*]]One prevents Instant Death, and one prevents Killsight, which causes all attacks to inflict Instant Death[[/labelnote]], [[SignatureMove Death Grudge]], [[ShockAndAwe Thundaga]] [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter SHG-II]], and [[HealingHands Curaga]], and can [[MythologyGag killsteal an MA boss]] if you let him (read: don't kill it first).
*** ''VideoGame/WorldOfFinalFantasy'' has Master Tonberry, who runs the largely-optional Coliseum. AuthorityEqualsAsskicking is in full effect. There are also paleberries, which look like albino tonberries, and ''baby'' versions of both types, which can actually be '''more''' dangerous than grown tonberries by virtue of the grown tonberries not having a Grudge attack.

* ''VideoGame/TheTwistedTalesOfSpikeMcFang'' features rabbits that will suddenly open their large mouths filled with sharp teeth in order to latch onto the hero. They are called [[LateToThePunchline Python Bunnies]].

*** And then there's Chi-Yu, a legendary [[EvilIsBurningHot Dark/Fire]] embodiment of envy that is MadeOfEvil who, along with its three partners-in-crime, brought ruin to an ancient empire before being [[SealedEvilInACan sealed]], and its Pokédex entry states it can burn so hot to ''melt the ground''. So how does it look like? A small ''[[FiendishFish goldfish]]''. (that lore bit about melting the ground? So that it can ''swim'' in it) This is especially jarring when you find out that its partners-in-crime are a SnowySabertooth (Chien-Pao), a huge moose (Ting-Lu) and a giant snail (Wo-Chien), each being considerably larger than Chi-Yu.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' has Chi-Yu, a legendary [[EvilIsBurningHot Dark/Fire]] embodiment of envy that is MadeOfEvil who, along with its three partners-in-crime, brought ruin to an ancient empire before being [[SealedEvilInACan sealed]], and its Pokédex entry states it can burn so hot to ''melt the ground''.

** Mawile's Pokédex entry states that it lulls its foes into letting down their guard with its cute face, and then attacks them with its huge jaw-like horns. It retains that cuteness when it Mega Evolves and becomes the Pokémon with the absolute highest Attack stat in the game without stat boosts. For the record, Mawile resembles a little girl in a {{miko}} dress with a large ponytail containing a huge mouth, upgrading to MegaTwintails when it Mega Evolves.

** Dodogama. A derpy looking fat lizard who's mostly just content to munch on rocks and waddle around...until you piss it off. Then it starts spitting [[MagmaMan lava]] at you.
** Yian Kut-ku is a Bird Wyvern that looks and acts like a giant chicken. However, it still tries to rip your throat out on sight and it ''[[PlayingWithFire breathes fire.]]''
** Ahtal-Ka, at first glance, might seem like a [[BigCreepyCrawlies slightly-bigger-than-normal]] bug...until it pulls out something known as the Ahtal-Neset. You see, Ahtal-ka is a ''[[ItCanThink smart]]'' Neopteron; it sneaks into abandoned fortifications, steals parts such as [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Dragonators]], gathers some other assorted materials and produces some webbing, and then builds ''a fucking [[HumongousMecha mecha]] the size of a building'' with them. And the ones you fight aren't even at full strength; apparently, they're supposed to be ''three times'' that size when fully complete.
** Mizutsune is a graceful, beautiful Leviathan with rainbow scales and purple fur, and it has the ability to...[[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway make bubbles.]] However, the ones fought in-game are all males in breeding season, and when a male Mizutsune gets horny, it also gets ''very'' [[HairTriggerTemper territorial.]] Once you're all soaped up by those bubbles, you'll be too off-balance to attack, and you'll slip and flail around like an idiot while the damned thing slides circles around you and gives you the beating of a lifetime.
** Paolumu is a Flying Wyvern that mostly just wanders around the Coral Highlands, but it'll inflate itself like a balloon and start kicking your ass from the sky once angry.
** Kulu-ya-ku is a goofy looking egg thief based on a [[DoofyDodo dodo bird]]. However, those arms it uses to steal eggs? They can also carry ''boulders''. Boulders it can and will smash you over the head with.
** Banbaro effectively amounts to a huge moose. However, moose in real life are actually very territorial. Meaning that it's a foul-tempered behemoth that's also an [[DropInNemesis invasive species]] and can fucking throw giant boulders and trees at you.

* The insanely difficult BonusBoss in ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2: Mask of the Betrayer'' is a giant badger. Badgers are actually incredibly vicious and dangerous, a giant one even moreso.
** This may be connected to a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' joke where people found a line in the badger's monster manual entry highly amusing: "[[http://fearthebadger.ytmnd.com/ THIS CREATURE CANNOT END ITS RAGE VOLUNTARILY]]."
*** It should be noted that by "Rage", they mean that badgers in D&D (and by extension ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'') have the same "Hulk SMASH!" ability that ''Barbarians'' do.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' has Chi-Yu, a legendary [[EvilIsBurningHot Dark/Fire]] embodiment of envy that is MadeOfEvil who, along with its three partners-in-crime, brought ruin to an ancient empire before being [[SealedEvilInACan sealed]], and its Pokédex entry states it can burn so hot to ''melt the ground''.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' has Chi-Yu, a MadeOfEvil embodiment of envy and is a dark/fire type legendary who can burn so hot it can ''melt the ground''. So how does it look like? A small ''goldfish''. (and that lore bit about melting the ground? So that it can ''swim'' in it)

*** [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking Kurasame Susaya]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyType0'' has a Tonberry as a CoolPet, nicknamed the "Reaper's Right Hand". This one is on the player's side as a GuestStarPartyMember if Kurasame isn't available for Support Personnel[[labelnote:*]]In the PSP version, SP is multiplayer and he's there if there's no other players; in ''Type-0 HD'', it's random staff members and he's chosen at random.

* ''VideoGame/AllAloneWithMannie'': Mannie is a cute-looking anthropomorphic mouse girl with a body covered in ScaryStitches and oiut to kill you.

* The "B path" boss of the lost woods of ''VideoGame/DragonsCrown'', as a ShoutOut to ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''. It looks like an ordinary white rabbit, but can deal a surprisingly high amount of damage and it even can break your skull in a OneHitKill. Ironically, you can use bombs to deliver heavy damage and quickly defeat the boss, much like how the movie's rabbit is killed with the HolyHandGrenade.
