==History==

==Description==

In the main series, not much is known about where the Rabbids had originally come from. ''[[Rabbids Go Home]]'' suggests that they do not even know themselves. However, at an early point in [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version of ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'']], [[Ly]] the Fairy explains that the Rabbids were once peaceful creatures in [[The Glade of Dreams|Rayman's world]] that had gradually been bullied by other creatures, therefore going bad and taking their pain out on the entire world. The back cover of the main game also suggests that the Rabbids used to be peaceful but had turned bad, though the game doesn't explain how. This explanation of the Rabbids' origin was also used in official [[Ubisoft]] press releases regarding [[Rayman Raving Rabbids (cancelled prototype)|the original ''Rayman Raving Rabbids'' platformer]], before that game was scrapped. [[Michel Ancel]] stated in an interview that the Rabbids had been  “preparing this assault since [[Rayman 1|the very first ''Rayman'' game]]”.

===Behaviour===

They also share some traits of real rabbits, such as eating carrots and burrowing.

===Speech===

===Diet===

In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'', the Rabbids suddenly start capturing the [[baby Globox]]es that accompany [[Rayman]] during a picnic one day, and then ambush him and take him away to their Colosseum, where they force him to perform several daily trials for their entertainment.  At the end of each successful day, they reward [[Rayman]] with a plunger, which he uses to help himself escape. As the game ends, Rayman climbs out of the cell and escapes from the Rabbids. When he walks toward the old picnic mat, he remembers the [[baby Globox]]es. He tries to go through the holes the babies were sucked into, but gets stuck.

==In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]''==

In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]'', the Rabbids now have a new target - Earth.  They spend a lot of time trying to study [[human]] traits, until their base - a shopping mall - is infiltrated by [[Rayman]] who chooses to behave the same way as them when they grow suspicious on his makeshift Rabbid costume. Oddly enough, they grow accustomed to his presence, despite not actually wearing the costume after the introduction scene. As the game does not have an ending video, it is not known what happened to [[Rayman]]. It is likely the Rabbids found out that [[Rayman]] was not one of their own, as several Rabbids take pictures of him when he is fighting the Rabbids in the shooting games.

==In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party]]''==

In ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party]]'', the Rabbids continue to focus on harassing [[Rayman]], forcing him to take refuge in a cabin. A bolt of lightning strikes them outside, and transfers them into the television set inside. Unsure about how to get out, they use it to constantly annoy not only [[Rayman]] but also some neighbouring animals. The Rabbids take over a TV station, and possibly others, and changes [[Rayman]]'s, and others, television shows. [[Rayman]] tries various schemes to get them out. At the end of the game, as [[Rayman]] gets enraged of the Rabbids, throws his shoe at the television set. The group of Rabbids inside breaks out and chases [[Rayman]] out of his house. One Rabbid stays inside the house and makes it his own home.

==In ''[[Rabbids Go Home]]''==

Still on Earth, the Rabbids no longer wish to harass [[Rayman]] in ''[[Rabbids Go Home]]'', and as the title suggests, they want to go home, but they don't know where they actually come from. They become attracted to the moon, and therefore make an attempt to reach it by collecting piles upon piles of [[human]] things with a shopping trolley. As the game ends, the [[human]]s track down the Rabbids and launch bombs onto their pile to the moon. With the Rabbids on the pile, they launch into space, heading towards the moon. As the humans cheer for their "supposed death", they are attacked by falling objects from the Rabbid's pile. The Rabbids successfully reach the moon, their pile of objects forming a ring around the moon.

==In ''[[Rabbids Go Phone]]''==

Rabbids appear as playable characters in the 2009 soccer game ''[[Academy of Champions]]''. There is an entire team of them, as well as a single Rabbid that runs the item shop. This game does not have any bearings on the events in the [[Rabbids (series)|''Rabbids'' series]].

Still on Earth, a Rabbid discovers a modified washing machine used to travel in time. He travels through time and goes to a history museum. With the time machine damaged from traveling through time, he and the other Rabbids, with nothing to do, use the damaged machine to travel in time and ruin important parts of human history. They access the events from paintings of that event. As they ruin time, they make time paradoxes. The actions successfully fix the time machine. At the end of the game, the main Rabbid travels into time to a warehouse full of giant robots. He finds [[Professor Barranco]] the III (descendant of [[Professor Barranco]] the II from ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]]''), drilling Rabbids on how to use time machines to take control of human history. The main Rabbid pulls a plug on one of the time machines, causing all the machines and himself to disappear. This causes the Rabbid to travel in time the events in the game intro, which makes him come back to the history museum.

==In ''[[Rabbids Invasion (Facebook game)|Rabbids Invasion]]''==

A small group of Rabbids are hidding in a small headquarter underground. A Rabbid with glasses uses his computer to access to a Facebook application (displaying the icon of the player); however, the application doesn't seem to respond, until a "Error" notification appears. The Rabbids panic, as a gigantic tube appears from the surface and abducts them to a farm-themed social game (a clear parody of Farmville). The main objetive of the game is to take control of the farm with the help of currency (regular coins or toilet paper, the second one only can be obtained by paying for it), energy, Rabbids population, food cans, and other special items. As the player "Rabbidizes" the farm, he or she will have access to more levels with different themes, all of them being parodies of different Facebook games.

==In ''[[Rabbids Land]]''==

Still on Earth, the Rabbids find themselves taking over an amusement park. Two Rabbids are attempting to go on one of the rides, but are thrown out by an unseen person. One of the Rabbids contact the Rabbid spaceship through an iPhone-like device. He tries to call the Rabbid in the spaceship, but the Rabbid in the spaceship is too busy playing with the Wii U Gamepad. Unaware of the consequences, the Rabbid in the spaceship continues to play with the Gamepad, which was actually controlling the whole ship. The Rabbid turns the Gamepad upside down, which causes the the ship to land in the amusement park.

==In ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' and its spin-offs==

In the leaked pre-announcement trailer for [[Rayman Legends]], the Rabbids featured as a concept toy that would use the NFC technology of the Wii U Gamepad to allow for a level involving them to be unlocked. This was similar to the concept used in the ''Skylanders'' video game series and the Amiibo, the level itself featured an Autumn forest with Rabbids coming out of the ground in a similar way as in the cancelled ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]''. However, this concept and the Rabbids themselves were [[Rayman Legends (early production)|scrapped]], and did not feature in the final product at all.

Rabbids make their return to [[the Glade of Dreams]] in ''[[Rayman Adventures]]''. They have the same appearance they had during the early ''[[Rayman Legends]]'' build. They appear during the game's [[Event (Rayman Adventures)|events]] as enemies, with their first appearance being in the Easter Event. During the events, a single Rabbid is placed on each level, sometimes hidden, and sometimes on the regular path. Their behavior varies from just standing in place to wandering around until they see the player and charge at them with their rolling pins. Upon defeating them with a single hit, the player is rewarded with 2 of the [[Event (Rayman Adventures)|events]]' collectibles, such as Easter Eggs, Beach Balls, Pumpkins, and Festive Decorations, which can be traded for the [[Event (Rayman Adventures)|events]] [[Lucky ticket|tickets]], the [[Event (Rayman Adventures)|events]]' [[Ancient Egg|Eggs]] that unlock exclusive seasonal [[Incrediball]]s, or the [[Event (Rayman Adventures)|events]]' special costume, such as the [[Rabbiteen]] costume. The Rabbid can respawn in the same level only if the player is able to beat it, or if some time passes.

*In Tom Clancy's The Division, a ''[[Rayman Raving Rabbids]]'' board game is present in a house. Strangely, [[Rayman]] does not appear.
