Gaunerhase (Gaw-ner-ha-say; Gauner = Rascal, Hase = Hare)

Gaunerhasen are rabbit-like Wesen. Though often diminutive and weak, their intelligence and charisma are enough to make them considerable threats. These Wesen are natural confidence man, skilled in cheating and scheming of any kind. They are often involved in organized crime.

They are known to possess a hunger for power, but they often work with subtle plans and gambits, controlling others in secret. A Gaunerhase will avoid physical confrontation at any cost, and often employs stronger Wesen to serve as personal guards.

Gaunerhasen likely inspired the eponymous villain of Rumpelstiltskin.
