Easter Bunny is a mythical rabbit who originates from Germanic folklore. Like Santa Claus, he is usually portrayed as a friendly and generous figure who gives presents and eggs to children.
In popular culture
The Easter Bunny appears as a member of the Council of Legendary Figures in The Santa Clause 2 and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause.
In Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, a demonic Easter Bunny is one of the figures conjured up by Satan to torment the protagonists during their visit to the afterlife, as punishment to the sins they have committed. Specifically, the Easter Bunny was sent to punish Ted for having stolen his brother's Easter basket ten years before.
