The Rabbids (ラビッツ, Rabbits; Lapins Crétins in the original French) are recurring characters in the Rayman series. Initially antagonists, they eventually were given their own spin-off franchise.
Origin
Originally designed as ominous creatures for the unreleased platformer Rayman 4, the Rabbids were reworked in the final release, a party game known as Rayman Raving Rabbids, as more child-friendly and goofy mascot-like characters, and 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 Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, a tactical RPG featuring Mario characters, as well as their Rabbid counterparts, such as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, Cranky Kong, and Donkey Kong. 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 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up!; a cheat code in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag; and even a brief return to the Rayman franchise as enemies in the mobile game Rayman Adventures.
The Rabbids themselves are depicted as immature and childlike, often pulling childish pranks involving plungers, underwear and toilet paper among other juvenile items. They are known for their distinctive "bwah" screech and singing along to popular pop songs.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
