Bunnicula (TV series)

Plot

Characters

Main

• Bunnicula is the titular character of the show. He is a vampiric Dutch rabbit and the former pet of Dracula who was sealed in a cellar until Mina freed him. Bunnicula usually speaks in unintelligible nasal English, although Harold and other supernatural creatures can understand him. He can fly by transforming his ears into bat wings and gain various abilities by eating specific foods.
• Chester is Mina's sarcastic pet Siamese cat. Although he does value Bunnicula as a friend, he is often exasperated with him. This is mainly because he is constantly terrified of the monsters and supernatural phenomena that happen around him and his friends.
• Harold is Mina's pet dog. He loves his friends Chester and Bunnicula, and their owner, Mina. He is not particularly intelligent, but despite this he is the only one who can fluently understand Bunnicula and usually translates for him to Chester. He is also fiercely loyal and values the friendships he has.
• Mina Monroe is a 13-year-old girl who has just moved to New Orleans from middle America with her father. She freed Bunnicula from his prison in the cellar with a key that her aunt Marie gave her. Mina is oblivious to Bunnicula's vampiric nature until the series finale, but chooses to embrace him after learning.
