* ''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.]]

Overprotective Dad has been disambiguated


** 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 [[SexualEuphemism "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.

Removing an Uncanny Valley wick and a subjective subbullet that may have been misuse


* 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..."

* Zig-zagged: WesternAnimation/DangerMouse and Penfold have their bodies switched after passing through an archway with a mysterious stone in a remote country. Penfold!DM offers a carrot to a bunny but the rabbit beats the living daylights out of hom as it had entered the archway and switched bodies with a grizzly bear. From the episode "There's a Penfold In My Suit."

* 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]]

** 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".

* 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.

* 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 the show's 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.

* ''{{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.]]
