Killer Rabbit; more than one trope?

[The] Killer Rabbit is any monster that's far more dangerous than it looks. Maybe it's strong for its size, poisonous on a massive level, has flesh-rending pointy bits that aren't readily apparent, or can just turn into something far more dangerous.
- Killer Rabbit's description.

This part of the description seems to me to be very similar to Badass Adorable... though granted, looking weak doesn't necessarily imply looking cute.

Still though, when the "more dangerous than it looks" aspect has been interpreted widely enough for a former YKTTW of mine about characters who aren't as gentle as they look to be dismissed as already covered by Killer Rabbit, it strikes me as odd that the same trope has in its description something that seems more along the lines of Badass Adorable. (I've since created a fairly similar YKTTW, though, and it doesn't seem to be met with the same kinds of responses; maybe it's how I worded it.)

Obviously, there's a big difference between looking gentler than you are and looking weaker than you are, so having both covered by Killer Rabbit would make it seem like more than one trope.

I think I've made a topic about this before, but I want this to be more thoroughly addressed while my "Face Of An Angel Mind Of A Demon" YKTTW is running.
