* ''Literature/{{Struwwelpeter}}'': In the "The Story of the Man That Went Out Shooting", a huntsman goes hunting hares, but is unaware that a hare is already watching him from a bush, laughing at him and thumbing his nose at him behind his back. When the huntsman then unwisely takes a nap beneath a tree, the hare steals his gun (and dons his spectacles). Cue the hare chasing the huntsman with the gun, and the huntsman screaming for help and finally jumping into a well to save himself while the hare fires a bullet narrowly over him. This is the only story in ''Struwwelpeter'' in which the protagonist is not a misbehaving child, thus framing the huntsman's humiliation by the hare as a just punishment.

** Most famously, the Hare of Inaba was a rabbit god that attempted to trick a bunch of crocodiles/sharks into acting as a bridge for him. When he told them he'd tricked them, they tore all his fur off. Shortly after, 81 gods on their way to woo a princess saw him and heard his story. Eighty of those gods told him to wash in the sea and dry in the wind, which just made him hurt more. In contrast, the [[HumbleHero bag-carrier]] Ōnamuchi told the hare to wash in fresh river water and roll in fluffy cattails. The hare got better, and told Ōnamuchi that he would get to marry the princess.

** WesternAnimation/BugsBunny is constantly using his trickster tactics to outwit and harass everyone.

He was typically called a "[[ElmuhFuddSyndwome Wascally Wabbit]]" by Elmer Fudd.
