12	----
13	* AdaptationalBadass: Bunnicula [[DownplayedTrope to an extent.]] In the books, Bunnicula's vampire traits, apart from his eating habits, were largely an InformedAttribute and left up to the reader's imagination.

14	* BadassAdorable: Bunnicula, a vampire rabbit who is usually the one to correct the problems in the episode, all while still looking cute as a button.
15	%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is.* BerserkButton: He doesn't like when people or animals eating his carrots without his permission.
16	* BigEater: The titular rabbit can wolf down a lot of carrots.

18	* DarkIsNotEvil: He's a lovable vampire bunny.

24	** Onions [[OcularGushers make him cry high pressure torrents of water]].
25	** Peppers [[FireBreathingDiner gives him fire breath]].
26	** Broccoli [[GrowingMusclesSequence makes him muscular]].
27	** Baby carrots [[IncredibleShrinkingMan make him shrink]].
28	** Eggplants [[OneWingedAngel turn him into a giant purple egg, which then hatches into a giant three-eyed monster.]]
29	** Yams [[{{Invisibility}} give him the power of invisibility]].
30	** Garlic [[StrippedToTheBone turns him into a skeleton]], [[HealingFactor but he can restore himself in the manner of zipping up clothing]].
31	** Cacti turn him into a cactus-bunny.
32	** Prehistoric plants preserved in amber turn him into a prehistoric creature.
33	** Cacao beans turn him into a chocolate rabbit, and vanilla neutralizes it.
34	** Catnip [[{{Shapeshifting}} turns him into a cat]].
35	** Iceberg lettuce turns him into a [[{{Snowlems}} snowbunny]], and gives him [[AnIcePerson ice]] [[BreathWeapon breath]].
36	** Blueberries cause him to go into a deep depression.
37	** Seaweed turns him into a Franchise/{{Godzilla}} {{Expy}}.
38	* RascallyRabbit: Bunnicula, who often gets into mischief with supernatural consequences.
39	* RewatchBonus: Rewatching "Return of the Curse of the Weredude" knowing that [[spoiler: Chester and Patches were only imagining Elvira]] puts Bunnicula and Harold's earlier reactions in a whole other perspective.
40	* TheUnintelligible: Bunnicula's voice is this, who speaks limited amounts of English on occasion, and usually speaks in unintelligible squeaks which [[IntelligibleUnintelligible Harold understands.]]
41	* VampiricDraining: 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.
42	* VegetarianVampire: He doesn't drink blood of animals or people. He only sucks out and drink from vegetables and fruits.
