Rabbids, also known as Raving Rabbids, is a multimedia franchise developed and published by Ubisoft. It originated as a spin-off video game from the Rayman video game series, 2006's Rayman Raving Rabbids. The franchise centers on the titular characters – a species of mischievous, rabbit-like extraterrestrials that only speak gibberish or scream wildly whenever they experience adrenaline rushes. Most video games from the franchise are of the party video game genre, though other genres have been explored as well.
