Originally made for Moji, where is his profile revealed the following:

Name: Scabbit

Series: Manhattanimals

Birthday: Not even his mother remembers

Hometown: New York, NY (Ft. Tryon Park, represent)

Likes: Slightly rotten produce, the smell of a rain-soaked urban wasteland, sharpening his claws on the sides of moving subway trains, and old black and white films (though he’d never admit the last one)

Dislikes: You

Super Powers: The telepathic ability to make people itch

Personality: Total bastard. Will scratch, claw, kick and spit at random. Was born with a genetic defect that makes his tongue to long for his mouth, therefore it always hangs out. Not even children are fooled into thinking this is your ordinary fluffy bunny — he gives off a vibe that can only be described as ornery. Born under a downtown pier, he fled uptown after a particularly brutal rabbit adolescence and has taken refuge in a northern Manhattan park that has lots of dark underpasses and rank hedgerows. Claim to fame: lashing out at Bette Midler with his claws when she and her cleanup crew tried to recycle his favorite can.
