 ==Origin==
-Originally designed as ominous enemy creatures for the canceled 3D platformer ''{{uvm3|Rayman}} 4'', the Rabbids were reworked for the party game known as ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'', as more child-friendly and goofy mascot-like characters. Due in part to their debut game being a launch title for the massively successful Nintendo [[Wii]] and their overall marketability, they gained enough popularity to take the focus away from Rayman in later titles, spawn an animated series on Nickelodeon, and eventually overshadow him starting with 2009's ''Rabbids Go Home''. Their most critically-acclaimed appearance is ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle}}'', a turn-based strategy game featuring {{uv|Mario}} characters, as well as Rabbid versions of characters like [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]], [[Peach]], Cranky Kong, [[Donkey Kong]], [[Wario]], and [[Waluigi]]. As "anti-mascots" of sorts to the French studio, they have also made cameos in other Ubisoft games including as inanimate toys in ''Watch Dogs'' and ''Far Cry 5''; playable characters with weaponry from the ''Splinter Cell'' franchise in ''{{s|wikipedia|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up}}''; a cheat code in ''{{uvm3|Assassin's Creed}} IV: Black Flag''; dancers in the ''{{iw|wikipedia|Just Dance|video game series}}'' series (which was in turn an extension of a minigame from ''Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party''); and even a brief return to the ''Rayman'' franchise as enemies in the mobile game ''Rayman Adventures''.

Their most critically-acclaimed appearances are the ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario + Rabbids|series}}'' series, a duology of turn-based strategy games featuring {{uv|Mario}} characters, as well as Rabbid versions of characters like [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]], [[Peach]], {{s|mariowiki|Cranky Kong}}, [[Donkey Kong]], [[Wario]], [[Waluigi]], and [[Rosalina]]..

 The Rabbids themselves are depicted as immature and childlike, often pulling sophomoric pranks involving plungers, underwear and toilet paper among other juvenile items. While intelligence level varies on an individual basis, Rabbids are usually moronic and unable to learn from past mistakes. They are known for their distinctive "bwah" screech and singing along to popular pop songs.
