* In the ''MyLittlePony: Friendship is Magic'' episode "Applebuck Season," a herd of stampeding bunnies causes just as much havoc (or perhaps more) as a stampede of cattle.

* In BatManTheBraveAndTheBold, a temporarily superpowered Calendar Man sends a stampede of 'killer Easter Bunnies' to attack Batman.

* Inverted by Rukia of ''[[{{Bleach}} Bleach's]]'' illustrations of the hollow as meaner versions of the regular hollow. Despite depicting soul-eating monsters, they're ridiculously cute.

* In ''The Velveteen Rabbit'', the plush toy bunny gets saturated with germs when the Boy who owns it suffers from scarlet fever.

* Max from ''SamAndMax'' is an adorable rabbity creature ([[InsistentTerminology he prefers the term 'lagomorph']] which is [[ViewersAreGeniuses the taxonomic family containing rabbits, hares and pikas]]), but he has razor-sharp, serrated carnivore teeth and 'dead, sharklike eyes'. He's also a PsychopathicManchild who is referred to in his own series as a [[HeroicSociopath sociopath]]. The games suggest he has obscenely powerful psychic potential and show him as having an inherent connection to {{Eldrich Abomination}}s. He also exploits his own cuteness to gain favours from other characters, or get them to let their guard down for an attack.

* Julie's wounded rabbit in ''The Maxx'' could easily be described as this.

* In the ''GeneratorRex'' episode "Operation: Wingman", one of these wtfpwns Rex and runs away. Several times thoughout 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?

* Both the White Rabbit and the March Hare in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland are rather creepy-looking, but what else could we expect from Master Burton?

* In the Popul Vuh, a Maya epic story, the gods of the underworld (who are portrayed as evil) have a rabbit scribe. Depictions of the court of the underworld usually include it.

* From ''KingdomHearts: BirthBySleep'', we have a type of enemy called the [[IncrediblyLamePun Hare]][[HairRaisingHare 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), 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..." What's worse, they typically appear in packs of four or more. [[ItGotWorse And there's usually more than one pack in a given location.]]

* ''{{Rayman}} Raving Rabbids'': the rabbits are probably not intended to be creepy, but they are.

* In ''StrawberryShortcake: Sky's the Limit!'', the girls are at one point threatened by a herd of stampeding bunnies.

* The Wunny Sharbit, a genetically altered Rabbit with the teeth of a shark and a chainsaw from ''{{Spliced}}''.

* General Woundwort of ''WatershipDown''.

* [[CirqueDuSoleil Cirque du Soleil's]] magic show collaboration with Criss Angel, ''Believe'', has tons of these once the action shifts to Angel's mind when he's "injured" in a stunt gone wrong. They're seeking revenge on behalf of all of their kind who have died at the hands of incompetent magicians.

* [[CirqueDuSoleil CirqueDuSoleil's]] magic show collaboration with Criss Angel, ''Believe'', has tons of these once the action shifts to Angel's mind when he's "injured" in a stunt gone wrong.

** In their parody of ''SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarves'', the forest animals attack the wicked queen and the shadow of a killer rabbit, with sharp teeth and claws, is seen.

* The bunny from ''TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy''. To be more specific, a pet conjured up by a JerkassGenie.
** (After Pud'n defeats the bunny and he mourns him, [[NotQuiteDead the bunny returns]]) "It's okay, Pud'n, I forgive you. I forgive you because I love you, and I love you, to death."
* The Wunny Sharbit, a genetically altered Rabbit with the teeth of a shark and a chainsaw from {{Spliced}}.
