−	Rabies in wild rabbits is extremely rare, but rabbits are particularly vulnerable to the rabies virus and are quicker than some host species to show symptoms after infection. They are therefore used in laboratory testing.	+	{{wikipedia\|Rabies}}
		+	Rabies is a viral disease that causes encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) in humans and other mammals, and was historically referred to as hydrophobia or "fear of water", due to the symptom of panic when presented with liquids to drink. Other symptoms include fever and abnormal sensations at the site of exposure early on; these are followed by nausea, vomiting, violent movements, uncontrolled excitement, an inability to move parts of the body, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Once symptoms appear, the result is virtually always death, regardless of treatment.
		+
		+	Symptoms usually appear 1-3 months after contracting the disease, with variance from less than one week to more than one year depending on the distance the virus must travel to reach the central nervous system. Rabies is caused by [[Wikipedia:lyssavirus\|lyssaviruses]], including the rabies virus and Australian bat lyssavirus, and is spread by infected animals to other animals or humans via bite, scratch, or saliva that comes into contact with the eyes, mouth, or nose. Rabies in wild rabbits is extremely rare, but rabbits are particularly vulnerable to the rabies virus and are quicker than some host species to show symptoms after infection. They are therefore used in laboratory testing.

-These have a speed of 18, as well as a poisoned attack, making them very dangerous to a SLASH'EM character when they first start appearing. Unlike many monsters with a poisoned attack, they do not have poison resistance, which can be useful in light of the fact that SLASH'EM allows all edged weapons to be poisoned, either with a [[potion of sickness]] or a [[toilet]].  Make sure you have an backup plan handy when you face these, as they are much more dangerous than the typical [[rabid rat]].
