Those big goofy teeth aren't just there to look cute and chop vegetables. As wild animals, they can be pretty vicious when they need to be, particularly around mating season when fighting off rival suitors. Of course, in Real Life, rabbits aren't always harmless.
Also, anything that plays the rabbit for horror falls in this trope, which means that stuffed animals and people in costumes all apply. Sometimes this is done by making the rabbit carnivorous or otherwise extremely dangerous, but just making it look or act scary is enough to have it fall into this trope. Twisting the easily-recognized and almost universally-beloved form of the rabbit into something terrifying is a common type of subverted cuteness, because we all have the expectation of rabbits as sweet and innocent. Who could possibly think of a more cute, cuddly, and harmless creature? With their wriggling noses, comically long ears, and fuzzy little tails, they're just so adorable!
