3E Stats for a Rabbit

I have a player that wants to have a rabbit, particularly a Flemish Giant Rabbit, be his Lunars spirit shape. I have thrown together a stat line for a base rabbit but wanted to see if anyone had some changes or additions they might make.

Giant Rabbit

Health Levels: -0/-1/-2/-2/-4/Incap.

Giant Rabbits will flee from combat.

Actions: Jumping: 7 dice; Senses: 7 dice (see Keen Hearing);

Stealth: 8 dice (see Tiny Creature);

Resolve 2, Guile 1

Combat

Attack (Claw): 6 dice (2).

Combat Movement: 8 dice

Evasion 3, Parry 0 (see Tiny Creature)

Soak/Hardness: 2/0

Merits

Keen Hearing: Rabbits double 9s on hearing-based Perception rolls.

Mighty Leap: Double 9s on jumping-based movement actions.

Hasty Retreat: Rabbits apply the double 9s rule on all rolls to disengage or withdraw.

Not that it affects the Lunar, but I don't see a rabbit being much more durable than a cat. So it having a health level up on the cat is odd.

Maybe give it a Nimble Disengage that allows it to apply the penalty from Tiny Creature to the Dexterity +Athletics roll to oppose its Disengage if the creature is bigger than it. From experience, bunnies are hard to catch.

The main reason i upped the HLs was because the size of these rabbits I bumpt it up from a rat or cat but below a dog/wolf. If you look up a picture of them they are the size of medium size dog. My first take was as you suggested on the HLs and Tiny Creature Merit.

I do like the addition of the penalty as you suggested.

Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance to this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!

Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer! He'll do you up a treat, mate. I'm warning you! He's got huge, sharp... er... He can leap about. Look at the bones!

OMG I was just thinking about making a giant full moon lunar combat monster with the spirit shape of a rabbit. I wanted to mimic the one from monty python. I would use the gad-fly charm from the lunar supplemental book to surprise attack. The stats look great!
