''Sitting crouched on its haunches, ears perked up, this man-sized gray rabbit glances about nervously and alert."

===Skills & Modifiers===

A dire rabbit uses its [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] modifier for melee attack and damage rolls as well as for [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]] skill checks.

A dire rabbit gains a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Balance Skill|Balance]], [[SRD:Escape Artist Skill|Escape Artist]], [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]], [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]] and [[SRD:Survival Skill|Survival]]. A dire rabbit gains a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]] and [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]]. A dire rabbit has 5 skill ranks in [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]].

===Combat===

In combat, a dire rabbit kicks with all its might, preferring to knock pursuers down and make a hasty getaway. They'll fight to the death to defend their young or mate.

'''Gnaw {{Ex}}:''' A dire rabbit's teeth are sharp and designed to chew through tough bark and woody plants. A gnaw attack bypasses hardness of 5 or less.

'''Rabbit Kick {{Ex}}:''' A dire rabbit that hits with its kick attack may initiate a free [[SRD:Bull Rush|bull rush]] attempt, gaining a +2 bonus as though charging and an additional +4 bonus from [[SRD:Improved Bull Rush|Improved Bull Rush]]. If a dire rabbit exceeds the defender's opposed check to allow the dire rabbit to move the defender back additional spaces, the defender is instead knocked prone and is dealt 1d6 bludgeoning damage for each 5 points by which its check result is greater than the defender’s check result.

'''Rabbit Run {{Ex}}:''' A dire rabbit ignores difficult terrain while [[SRD:Full-Round Actions#Run|running]]. A dire rabbit can make a [[SRD:Bull Rush|bull rush]] or [[SRD:Overrun|overrun]] as part of a run action. A dire rabbit that fails its [[SRD:Overrun|overrun]] attempt is only ever made [[SRD:Flat-Footed|flat-footed]] until the start of its next turn instead of being knocked [[SRD:Prone|prone]].

'''[[SRD:Low-Light Vision|Low-Light Vision]] {{Ex}}:''' A dire rabbit takes only half the penalties associated with viewing under conditions of dim illumination.

'''Leap of the Lepus {{Ex}}:''' A dire rabbit is an excellent jumper. When jumping, roll a d10+10 instead of a d20 for its [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]] skill check.

===Training & Mounts===

A dire rabbit can be trained to serve as a mount trained for war for a Small rider. Such trained mounts cost 400 gp. A dire rabbit can serve as a Small [[SRD:Paladin|paladin's]] special mount.
