The Rabbids (ラビッツ, Rabbits; Lapins Crétins in the original French) are a recurring character 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 a cartoon 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 Rabbid counterparts including Rabbid versions of Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, Cranky Kong, and Donkey Kong.
The Rabbids themselves are depicted as immature and childlike, similar to the Minions in Illumination Entertainment's Despicable Me franchise, 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.
