Were-Rabbit

Moonlit bunny monster

A were-rabbit is a fictional creature that transforms from human to rabbit, parodying the werewolf legend.

The term gained wide recognition from the 2005 animated film *Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit*, where it plays on horror conventions with comic effect.

More broadly, were-rabbit follows the pattern of were-creatures in fantasy and folklore, substituting a harmless animal for the traditional wolf: The garden's vegetables were being devoured—could there be a were-rabbit on the loose?
