Vengeful bunnies and snails in medieval manuscripts were popular reminders of God's will for one's karma, and perhaps related to the argument in Matt 5:5 that the meek shall inherit the earth. But more to the point, the bunnies are performative, acting out a tragi-comedy. A 'comedy' in medieval Europe was often also a tragedy. Consequences for a hunter or a hound, hunted and killed by bunnies, are like morality plays. By definition, the Aristotelian tragedy results in 'peripeteia' - a reveral of expectations - at the moment of 'anagnorisis' - recognition of one's own identy (or the fate that one has been assigned). Hence bunny vengeance can be a fitting end for the most sinful. Early examples here.

So the Mony Python and the Holy Grail skit with the killer rabbit was a reference to this?
