Main Characters
Bunnicula
Bunnicula
Voiced by: Chris Kattan
The titular protagonist of the series.- Adaptational Badass: Bunnicula to an extent. In the books, Bunnicula's vampire traits, apart from his eating habits, were largely an Informed Attribute and left up to the reader's imagination. This show pretty much outright states that Bunnicula is a vampire and suitably gives him some powers such as turning his ears into wings for Flight, detaching his limbs and having them move on their own, and moderate Super-Strength.
- Badass Adorable: Bunnicula, a vampire rabbit who is usually the one to correct the problems in the episode, all while still looking cute as a button.
- Big Eater: The titular rabbit can wolf down a lot of carrots.
- Brought Down to Normal: In "Dreamcatcher" Bunnicula is a normal rabbit without powers inside Mina's dreams, because that's what she thinks he is.
- Dark Is Not Evil: He's a lovable vampire bunny.
- Lovecraftian Superpower: Not even including the powers he can gain from absorbing vegetables and other plants, Bunnicula can take his body apart and sprout tentacles.
- Our Vampires Are Different: Bunnicula, a vampire rabbit that sucks the juices out of vegetables.
- Power-Up Food: Draining certain vegetables or plants gives Bunnicula different abilities:
- Sugarbeets increase his hyperactivity.
- Squash makes one of his feet grow huge.
- Onions make him cry high pressure torrents of water.
- Peppers gives him fire breath.
- Broccoli makes him muscular.
- Baby carrots make him shrink.
- Eggplants turn him into a giant purple egg, which then hatches into a giant three-eyed monster.
- Yams give him the power of invisibility.
- Garlic turns him into a skeleton, but he can restore himself in the manner of zipping up clothing.
- Cacti turn him into a cactus-bunny.
- Prehistoric plants preserved in amber turn him into a prehistoric creature.
- Cacao beans turn him into a chocolate rabbit, and vanilla neutralizes it.
- Catnip turns him into a cat.
- Iceberg lettuce turns him into a snowbunny, and gives him ice breath.
- Blueberries cause him to go into a deep depression.
- Seaweed turns him into a Godzilla Expy.
- Rascally Rabbit: Bunnicula, who often gets into mischief with supernatural consequences.
- Rewatch Bonus: Rewatching "Return of the Curse of the Weredude" knowing that Chester and Patches were only imagining Elvira puts Bunnicula and Harold's earlier reactions in a whole other perspective.
- The Unintelligible: Bunnicula's voice is this, who speaks limited amounts of English on occasion, and usually speaks in unintelligible squeaks which Harold understands.
- Vampiric Draining: Like in the books, Bunnicula eats by draining the fluids from vegetables. Though the show is more overt than the book and different vegetables have different effects on Bunnicula, such as a squash making his foot big.
- Vegetarian Vampire: He doesn't drink blood of animals or people. He only sucks out and drink from vegetables and fruits.
