* The [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot nazi biker junkie bunny]] from ''WesternAnimation/FritzTheCat.'' He has a CreepyMonotone voice, is constantly strung out and twitching, and he has no qualms against ''domestic abuse.''

See also GrotesqueCute, KillerRabbit (which, despite its name, covers all cute but deadly animals, not just rabbits), RascallyRabbit (where the rabbits use their wits, rather than violence, to overcome their enemies)m CatsAreMean and DeviousDolphins (for other instances of normally cute animals getting this treatment). Contrast RighteousRabbit.

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest'' has a werehare pet, terrifying and ferocious. Funnily enough it actually deals {{Light|IsGood}} damage.
* The Rabbit from ''VideoGame/AliceIsDead'' is a ProfessionalKiller working with the Mad Hatter.
* ''VideoGame/ArenaXlsm'': In UndergroundMonkey fashion:
** Bunnies are a possible early enemy.
** Evil Bunnies are a possible late-game one.
* The ''VideoGame/{{BioShock}}'' series:
** ''VideoGame/{{BioShock|1}}'' 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.
*** [-"I want to cut the ears off, but I can't...''I FUCKING CAN'T!!!"''-]
** ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' [[WhatCouldHaveBeen intended]] for Sander Cohen to return in a drug-induced hallucination in Dionysus Park as "a giant, Freudian bunny rabbit" for a BossBattle. Aww, gee, [[SarcasmMode what a pity we didn't]] [[{{Squick}} get to see that]]...
* ''VideoGame/BravelySecond'' has an early rabbit enemy that looks cute and fuzzy at first. However, when it attacks, it has a mouth that opens much too widely, and MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily. The characters even discuss this on the creature's bestiary page.
* There are rabbit monsters in ''VideoGame/CatacombArmageddon'' that look like harmless bunnies hopping on the spot (yes, that's rather weird) but turn into large semi-humanoid monsters to attack.
* The Mimiga from ''VideoGame/CaveStory'' are a group of peaceful and friendly rabbit-like creatures...unless you feed them Red Flowers, which turns them into mindless rampaging beasts. They're fully aware of this, which is why they don't grow red flowers in their village.
* [[TheAhnold T-Hoppy]] from the ''VideoGame/{{Clayfighter}}'' series is a musclebound rabbit with a machine gun for an arm. He seems to be the most verbally abusive character in a game full of verbally abusive characters.
* In ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryTropicalFreeze'', rabbit-like Fluffs make up part of the Snowmad enemy army.
* One of the bosses in ''VideoGame/DragonsCrown'' is an actual rabbit, where you fight it upon a heap of knight corpses no less.
* In ''VideoGame/DemonFront'', Sarah's AttackAnimal is a rabbit-like alien named "Bunny" who can launch exploding bubbles capable of dealing severe damage to vehicles and killing plenty of mooks. It's also ''invincible'', to boot.
* Members of the virtually extinct Taguel race in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' (like Panne, her son Yarne, and potentially [[spoiler: a Morgan parented by either of them with [[PlayerCharacter the Avatar]] ]]) 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 [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Manaketes]].
* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsA2'' have dreamhares, which are less KillerRabbit and more GoddamnBats thanks to being {{Fragile Speedster}}s with a focus on buffs & debuffs over damage-dealing.
** [=FF12's=] major dreamhare mark, Fury, is this trope. [[spoiler:Its debut comes when you ''think'' you're about to fight a [[BossInMookClothing catoblepas]] but then Fury appears out of nowhere [[WorfEffect and one-shots it]].]] A somewhat less terrifying version of Fury also appears in [=FFTA2=].
** [=FF12's=] also has a mark called the Vorpal Bunny, but it just takes the genus' "bat" status UpToEleven.
** [=FFTA2=] has [[TheRedBaron the Mooglebane]], which is known for [[BodyHorror devouring Moogles' pom-poms]], one of their worst nightmares. The monster's skill set is even renamed "Pom-pom Puree," though it really doesn't gain any mechanical benefits from its comically monstrous reputation.
* Bonnie the Bunny is one of the killer animatronics from ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'', one of the most aggressive, and is so terrifying that the ''creator'' admits to having had nightmares about it. And Scott seems determined to up his scariness factor with each successive game.
** In ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2'', there are two Bonnies: One is from the 'Toy' generation, meant to be more [[MoralGuardians kid-friendly]] but even then just looks [[UncannyValley off]], especially when his eyes dilate as he gets closer to the office. The original Bonnie though, [[spoiler:before he gets repaired in preparation for the original game]], looks like a zombie, missing both his [[AnArmAndALeg left arm]] and [[FacialHorror face, leaving only two LED pupils]], and his kill screen involves [[RedRightHand grabbing you in a chokehold with his remaining hand]]. [[spoiler:There's also the mysterious Shadow Bonnie, a Toy Bonnie that's completely black except [[ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes his eyes and teeth]]. [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou He crashes the game if you stare at him too long]].]]
** ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3'' introduces Springtrap, the worst rabbit animatronic by far. Its body is tattered and has wires sticking out everywhere, its mouth has deteriorated into a permanent SlasherSmile, and, worst of all, ''[[spoiler:[[BigBad William Afton's]] rotting corpse is inside it, still alive and breathing]]''! It returns in ''VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator'' having deteriorated even further to the point where its arms are missing and ''human bones'' can be seen sticking out. It also has a [[EvilSoundsDeep gruff]] [[EvilBrit British]] accent now, which only ''slightly'' lessens the creepy factor.
*** Then there's the [[spoiler: Shadow]] Bonnie in one of the mini games, who glitches out every time you move him. [[spoiler: However, this one's a subversion. Despite the Gonk-like appearance and the glitching, he helps one of the murdered children move on.]]
*** The third game also reveals [[spoiler:the suit Afton used to lure the Missing Children to their deaths was specifically a variant of Bonnie, in fact, the [[HoistByHisOwnPetard same one that he was springlocked by]].]] As such, he has a specific recurring [[AnimalMotif rabbit motif]] seen throughout the series.
** ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4: The Final Chapter'' has Nightmare Bonnie, a Bonnie with literal ''screws'' for fingers and extremely sharp, pointy teeth [[spoiler: who turns out to have a MeaningfulName]]. There's also Plushtrap, who is a CreepyDoll version of Springtrap. And it can walk. [[spoiler: Ironically though, Plushtrap was more akin to a RedHerring than anything else, only appearing in a minigame and fooling people into thinking the Murderer was involved.]] And finally, there's Jack-O-Bonnie in the Halloween DLC, a PaletteSwap of Nightmare Bonnie, but still terrifying.
** ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation'' reduces Bonnie to Funtime Freddy's hand puppet, but he is still ''fully'' capable of jumpscaring you. The non-canon custom night also introduces a pink PaletteSwap of him called Bonnet.
** ''VideoGame/UltimateCustomNight'' ups the ante with no less than ''10'' Bonnies- Original Bonnie, Toy Bonnie, Withered Bonnie, Springtrap, Nightmare Bonnie, Rockstar Bonnie, Scraptrap, [[spoiler: and from Dee Dee's roster, Bonnet, Shadow Bonnie, and Plushtrap]]. That's more Bonnies than there are ''Freddies''. And all of them can either kill you or make it significantly easier for the others to do so.
** ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysVRHelpWanted'' introduces The Anomaly, [[spoiler:aka Glitchtrap, a strange mascot-like Spring Bonnie that moves unnaturally fluid. He is heavily implied to be part of Afton's consciousness in the name, but he doesn't jumpscare you. Instead, he wants [[GrandTheftMe something else]].]] ''The Curse of Dreadbear'' DLC reveals [[spoiler:this thing has at least one follower who made a rabbit mask.]]
** Vanny is a [[JackTheRipoff copycat killer]] of William, [[spoiler:and [[LateArrivalSpoiler the aforementioned follower]] from ''Help Wanted'']]. Naturally, she too has a creepy [[AnimalMotif rabbit motif]]. By the time ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach'' rolls around she has started wearing her own [[MalevolentMaskedMan rabbit mask]] and matching suit while targeting children. Said outfit has glowing [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]], ScaryStitches throughout, and a creepy wide grin.
* Rabbits and rabbit-mechas in the UsefulNotes/{{NES}} {{Shmup}}, ''VideoGame/GunNac''.
* ''VideoGame/IrisuSyndrome'' has a very prevalent bunny motif.
* This trope is whole point of ''VideoGame/JazzJackrabbit''. It doesn't matter if you are a small rabbit as long you have a {{BFG}}.
* In ''VideoGame/JediKnightDarkForcesII'', if you perform certain actions you can unleash Max from Sam & Max on a level. He will move through the level, murdering any enemies unfortunate enough to cross his path.
* From ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'', we have a type of enemy called the Hareraiser. 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 more than one pack in a given location.
** The nightmare versions of the Me Me Bunny and Majik Lapin in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' qualify, with their creepy red eyes and unpleasant coloration. They also have an annoying tendency to become completely immune to physical attacks, which turns them into definitive GoddamnedBats.
* The Nahatomb in ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}: Door to Phantomile''.
* ''[[Creator/{{Nitrome}} Mega Mash]]'' has [[spoiler:Fluffykins, the VillainProtagonist of "Carrot Story". [[TheEndingChangesEverything The ending reveals that]] his goal for when he became king of the Land of Carrots was [[FullCircleRevolution to be an even more repressive dictator than his predecessor]].]]
* ''VideoGame/MadStalkerFullMetalForce'' has Prisoner-β, a giant mecha styled after a rabbit that can dropkick you and {{bear hug}} you to death.
* Lagombi in ''[[VideoGame/MonsterHunter Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate]]'': a fifteen-foot-long giant snow hare with an armored torso and an unpleasant temper.
* In ''VideoGame/MurderHouse'', The Easter Ripper is a serial killer who pursues his victims clad in an Easter Bunny costume.
* ''VideoGame/{{Overgrowth}}'' has you playing an anthropomorphic rabbit who can dispatch dozens of his furry fellows with some bone-breaking martial arts. Things only get more decisive when weapons like swords and spears get involved.
* In ''VideoGame/PersonaQShadowOfTheLabyrinth'', Rei's [[EnemyWithout Shadow Self]], [[ClimaxBoss Best]] [[KnightOfCerebus Friend]], takes the form of a giant [[CreepyDoll stuffed]] rabbit. When the Shadow transforms into Best Friend, the stuffings inside the rabbit doll that she holds engulfs and fuses her into the monstrous rabbit plush toy.
* In ''VideoGame/PersonaQ2NewCinemaLabyrinth'', after you beat Kamoshidaman, the DesignatedHero of the first movie, he uses a pair of carrots to transform into his OneWingedAngel form, a monstrous wererabbit with Kamoshida's face on it, holding a pair of carrots as {{BFG}}s. While the transformation might seem sudden and unexplainable, the late-game does provide a clear reason that descends into the AdultFear category: [[spoiler:The rabbit form is supposed to represent the class pet in Hikari's primary school, a rabbit that was poisoned by some spoiled food and died. In reality, her teacher (Who is the base for Kamoshidaman) gave the students spoiled food to feed the rabbit, so she probably didn't even care for it. Hikari only warned the students that the food was spoiled but nobody heeded her, and the teacher [[TheScapegoat scapegoated]] and humiliated her in front of the class because she didn't apologize for something she didn't do.]]
* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarII'' features [[http://www.pscave.com/ps2/enemies/rabbit.shtml zombie rabbits]] that are constantly scooping their intestines back into their chest cavities and would attack you with them.
* In ''VideoGame/PityParty'', the rabbit-headed guest isn't exactly cute and cuddly. He snaps at you for not having "toppings" ready for the cake or carrot, and it's soon discovered he's [[spoiler:hiding a big knife in his jacket]].
* The Lepus Marihares in ''VideoGame/PlanetExplorers'' have a fluffy, rabbity look. They are also fearsome predators which will gladly go after humans. (They're by no means the strongest enemies in the game, though.)
* The ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' franchise has a few rabbit-like pokemon. Most of them are mid-to-low strength Pokemon that don't really stand out from the pack though.
** Gen I introduced Wigglytuff, the vaguely rabbit-like evolved form of Jigglypuff.
*** Gen I also introduces the player to Nidoran (Male) and Nidoran (Female). Both are cutesy rabbit-like Pokemon who happen to have sharp and very poisonous spines and horns. Their evolved forms (Nidorino and Nidorina) look more ferocious and dinosaur-like rather than the cutesy bunnies they started out as. And, using a Moon Stone on either will cause them to evolve into their final forms, which are essentially [[{{Expy}} expies of]] [[Film/FrankensteinConquersTheWorld Baragon.]]
** Also, Pikachu. Although [[InformedSpecies stated to be a mouse]], it really does look more rabbit-like than mouse-like. It can shock with high voltage, and learn agility-based attacks that its evolved form Raichu just can't.
** Gen II introduced Azumarill, the "Aqua Rabbit Pokemon" which evolves from Marill. It can play the trope straight thanks to the ability '''[[SuperStrength Huge Power]]''', allowing it to rip apart enemy teams with ease with Aqua Jet, Waterfall and Play Rough.
*** Another (separate) Pokémon introduced in Gen II is Umbreon, while based on the MoonRabbit, has the dangerous reputation in some of its Pokédex entries. Being a Dark-type Moon Rabbit can be threatening, no?
** Gen III introduced Whismur, though it loses its rabbit-like appearance as it evolves.
** Gen IV introduced Buneary and Lopunny, the "Rabbit Pokemon," which are ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Lopunny then gained a [[SuperMode mega evolution]] that makes it become part [[BareFistedMonk fighting]] and it gains the Scrappy ability, which lets it hit ghosts. It's even described that it undergoes a personality change from mild-mannered to highly aggressive.
*** The lore mentions that Buneary can shatter boulders with their ears. Getting into the mechanical side of things, Buneary is the only pokemon that can learn the move Frustration and the only non-legendary pokemon that starts with a friendship level of zero--by implication, they start out trusting ''nothing'' and use their paranoia to fuel a powerful attack.
** Gen VI introduced Bunnelby and Diggersby who also play this straight as they have Huge Power as their hidden ability, allowing Diggersby to dish out some of the most painful Earthquakes in the game.
*** Another (separate) rabbit Pokémon, Sylveon, is based off the MoonRabbit, but being a Fairy-type and all, it has TheFairFolk aspects being played up in certain situations.
** Gen VIII introduces [[PlayingWithFire Scorbunny, Raboot, and Cinderace]], [[IKnowMaddenKombat soccer-playing rabbits]] who kick around fireballs.
* One of the main enemies in Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw's ''VideoGame/{{Poacher}}'' are carnivorous rabbits, including giant ones called bargests.
* Subject 3 from ''VideoGame/ProfessorLaytonAndTheUnwoundFuture''. He's a former lab animal who, after years of being subjected to horrific experiments, has a rather dim view of humanity. Like everyone else in the Layton-verse, however, he's willing to forget about his threats to rearrange your kneecaps and let you pass if you solve a puzzle first.
* The meat-grinder bunny-monsters in the final stage of ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}''.
* ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryIV'' features "vorpal bunnies" as an enemy.
* Zig-zagged in ''VideoGame/QuestOfYipe'', a trilogy of Macintosh [=RPGs=]. The rabbits in the game are all enemies, but they are TheGoomba.
* The titular characters of the ''VideoGame/RavingRabbids'' series were introduced as evil and violent rabbit-like creatures who wreak havoc while screaming unintelligible gibberish. Nowadays they're not so much evil as they are just ChaoticStupid. ''VideoGame/MarioPlusRabbidsKingdomBattle'' even has a few Rabbids who are outright heroic.
* The rabbit-imps in ''VideoGame/RuleOfRose'' are no less creepy than the standard variety.
* Robbie the Rabbit from the ''Franchise/SilentHill'' games. He's an even more jarring example because he is nothing more than a pink stuffed rabbit (with a red stain on his mouth, sure)... [[NothingIsScarier that doesn't do anything]]. Except point at you.
** He also appears as a representative of the ''Silent Hill'' series in the mobile phone version of ''VideoGame/KonamiKrazyRacers''. Aside from removing the red stain, no attempts were made to reduce his creepiness.
* The Social Bunny in ''[[VideoGame/TheSims The Sims 2]]''. If your sim's social meter goes low enough, an imaginary friend comes along to help... an imaginary friend in a stained, worn, creepy-looking bunny costume that is missing an eye. Eeeeugh.
* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** Splats was an enemy concieved for ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog1 Sonic 1]]'', being a robotic rabbit who would attack Sonic by bouncing at him. While he didn't make it into the final product, [[EarlyDraftTieIn he was still featured in a lot of tie-in merchandise]]. He eventually made a proper appearance in ''VideoGame/SonicMania'''s [[EternalEngine Press Garden Zone]].
** Rabibin from ''VideoGame/SonicTripleTrouble'' is a robotic rabbit who inhabits [[JungleJapes Meta Junglira Zone]] and attacks the player by hopping at them.
** Bunny from ''[[VideoGame/Sonic3DFlickiesIsland Sonic 3D Blast]]'' is a robotic rabbit who inhabits [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Diamond Dust Zone]]. He rides a pogo stick and hops in an erratic motion around a set point, only harming Sonic if the hedgehog bumps directly into him.
* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' features the Broodals, a band of sinister anthropomorphic rabbits who serve as both Bowser's wedding planners and the game's QuirkyMinibossSquad. Their leader, Madame Broode, is equally sinister, helped in no small part by her pet Chain Chomp, [[FluffyTheTerrible Chain Chompikins]].
* ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'':
** The game has cute little bunnies that wander around the landscape and frequently get killed by enemy slimes or inadvertent player actions. However, during the Blood Moon, they transform into vicious purple [[http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Corrupt_Bunny Corrupt Bunnies]] (or [[http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Crimson_Bunny Crimtane Bunnies]] in Crimson worlds) with glowing red eyes. Only the Corrupt version drops a wearable bunny hood as loot.
** In the mobile version, you fight Diseaster Bunnies on Easter. They're just as dangerous as Corrupt Bunnies, and they may drop a Suspicious Looking Egg. If that is used, it summons [[http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Lepus Lepus]], a huge rabbit boss that lays eggs that spawn more Diseaster Bunnies or a weaker version of itself.
* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' Reisen Udongein Inaba, when she's using her madness-inducing power.
** [[TheTrickster Tewi Inaba]] becomes a little frightening if you read the supplemental material and [[FridgeBrilliance think about it for a while]]. Among other things, it's implied that ''being in her good grace is the only reason the moon fugitives can stay at Eientei'', and that she's [[KingIncognito far more powerful]] than she lets on.
* ''VideoGame/TreasureHunterMan1'': Small, harmless-looking purple rabbits can damage Marvin via CollisionDamage.
* The Black Rabite from ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana''. Rabites are mostly harmless, even though they can have levels in [=SD3=] and can occasionally outclass you, but the Black Rabite is the [[BonusBoss hardest boss in the game.]] You will never feel safe around a legless rabbit again.
* [[spoiler:Lagomorph]] a.k.a. Zero jr. from ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'' is a rabbit-looking A.I. in charge of a DeadlyGame.
* An Easter Egg Hunt themed ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'' map has seriously horrifying bunnies.
* One of the contestants in the video game ''VideoGame/Whacked'' is an amputee rabbit named Lucky who has quite the violent temper.
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' introduced the Darkmoon Rabbit, an obvious homage to ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''. It latches onto and chews through the necks of players and has enough health that it requires a large raid to be killed. Visually, it is notable for being white with ''red bloodstains on its muzzle''.
** In the ''Mists of Pandaria'' expansion, we get the Virmen, a race of anthropomorphic rabbits that straddles the line between this and RascallyRabbit. They're mostly found in the Valley of Four Winds as a farm pest.
[[/folder]]

* Bunnies are [[http://www.inquisitr.com/525844/bunnies-attacking-cars-at-denver-airport/ have attacked parked cars]] at a Denver Airport.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'', a temporarily super-powered Calendar Man sends a stampede of 'killer Easter Bunnies' to attack Batman.
* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'':
** Louise's pink bunny hat may make her look like an innocent child, but it actually hides (and, at the same time, highlights) her [[EnfanteTerrible Enfanté Terrible]] tendencies.
** Even more of an EnfanteTerrible than Louise is her rival/stalker Millie Frock, who wore a pink bunny costume for Halloween while trapping several other kids in a fort in "Fort Night".
* WesternAnimation/BugsBunny 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.[[note]]Ironically, the [[TropeNamers Trope Namer]] episode does not feature a particularly frightening Bugs. ''That'' one would be "Hyde and Hare", following the unwitting ingestion of a [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/looneytunes/images/6/6f/Hyde_bugs.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/180?cb=20130713135022 Mr. Hyde potion]].[[/note]]
* Rancid Rabbit, the major heavy from ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'' is not just a complete JerkAss but the Mayor and obscenely rich to boot. And he never lets anyone forget it, either.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheCrampTwins'' features Wayne caring for a rabbit he calls "Hankenstein" that had a habit of tearing everything in its path to shreds and attacking people. By the end of the episode, [[CurbStompBattle he finds out the hard way]] that "Hankenstein" had even more feral offspring.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/FrankeldasBookOfSpooks'' story "You Can Transform Yourself", one of the three witches takes on a hulking rabbit form.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'' episode "Operation: Wingman", one of these attacks Rex and runs away. Several times throughout the course of the episode. It's eventually killed with a rocket launcher.
** What about the episode "Breach" with that one disturbingly realistic rabbit suit standing upright? And the fact that it doesn't show up ever again makes it a mix of BigLippedAlligatorMoment, UncannyValley, and NothingIsScarier. As Rex said, "Creepy..."
* The bunny from ''WesternAnimation/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."
* On ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''. Jimmy picks a paintball fight with a pack of bunnies, who respond by turning into commandos.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has a few examples:
** In "Applebuck Season," a herd of stampeding bunnies causes just as much havoc (or perhaps more) as a stampede of cattle.
** Angel is an adorable bunny who is friends with ShrinkingViolet and FriendToAllLivingThings Fluttershy, but is also bad-tempered and pushy, and frequently tries to pester Fluttershy into being more assertive.
*** In the episode "Putting Your Hoof Down," Angel is pretty much a {{Domestic Abuse}}r.
** Then there are the [[FanNickname "Slenderbunnies"]], regular rabbits (including Angel) twisted by Discord. At one point, Twilight Sparkle gets trampled by them.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' episode "No More Bunny Business", Perry the Platypus is assigned to deal with a rogue agent from the OWCA, a white rabbit named Dennis... who just happens to have gotten adopted as Candace's new pet.
* According to ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'', the Easter Bunny has issues with Jesus Christ. Violent issues.
* On ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'':
** Rocko takes Spunky to a pet psychiatrist (an obvious {{Expy}} of UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud) who is "having trouble with a patient" in the back room. (The patient was roaring and clawing at Dr. Katz, like a lion or some such.) It turns out the patient is a rabbit being treated for anger issues.
** Rocko goes on a date with a cute and seemingly-innocent bunny-girl (with an OverprotectiveDad), but once they're (seemingly) alone, she drops the "innocent" act and tries to [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow "trade math equations"]] with Rocko (who finds this off-putting, being so shy and all). Not only that, Rocko gets beaten up by her dad, despite being totally innocent.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** 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 ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', the forest animals attack the wicked queen and the shadow of a killer rabbit, with sharp teeth and claws, is seen.
* ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'' has an example in [[PhlebotinumRebel Bunnie Rabbot.]] As one of the [[LaResistance Freedom Fighters]] of [[VillainWorld Planet Mobius]], she's a ChildSoldier and [[KungFuKid martial artist]] who's been fighting for her life against Doctor Robotnik's war machines for ten years. However, at some point she was captured by the Doctor's SWAT-bots and put into the [[UnwillingRoboticization roboticizer]]: a machine that - [[PainfulTransformation very painfully]] - transforms the victim's organic body into a powerful robot while [[ReforgedIntoAMinion forcibly reprogramming them to be Robotnik's slave]]. ''[[ForWantOfANail However,]]'' Bunnie was saved: the process was stopped partway through, so that ''roughly'' half of her body was transformed into [[ArtificialLimbs bulky mechanical parts]], leaving her [[BodyHorror awkwardly lopsided]], but her brain - and her free will - completely untouched. The [[CursedWithAwesome upshot]] is that her new robotic limbs are [[ArtificialLimbsAreStronger very strong]]. [[IJustWantToBeNormal She hates everything about what she became]], and would like nothing more than to use her newly bestowed SuperStrength to [[ItsPersonal take Robotnik apart.]]
* ''{{WesternAnimation/Spliced}}'' - The Wunny Sharbit, a genetically altered Rabbit with the teeth of a shark and a chainsaw.
* In ''[[WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake Strawberry Shortcake: Sky's the Limit!]]'', the girls are at one point threatened by a herd of stampeding bunnies.
* The Creator/VanBeurenStudios ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' hunt this kind of rabbit in "Rabid Hunters", and it gives them no shortage of trouble. It turns out to be a [[SmellySkunk skunk in disguise.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/IceAge4ContinentalDrift'' had Squint, a rabbit pirate who is insane and extremely bloodthirsty. [[BerserkButton Mention his cute wiggly nose]] and you're bunny chow.

* In ''VideoGame/MurderHouse,'' The Easter Ripper is a serial killer who pursues his victims clad in an Easter Bunny costume.

* In the ''Series/RedDwarf'' role-playing game, the Rabbit civilization are [[ANaziByAnyOtherName a fascist, militaristic species obsessed with ethnic purity and perfection]]. This being ''Red Dwarf'', it's PlayedForLaughs as their stats are actually pretty bad.
