  • Lapine Theism - Original Lapine belief in one sun god, Frith, and rabbit prophet. Includes other minor deities/angels including Prince Rainbow who orders the world on behalf of Frith but is neither omnipotent nor infallible (and may represent humanity as seen by rabbits), and The Black Rabbit of Inlé (Inlé-Rah) who is the personification of Death. Also includes supposedly mortal folk heroes such as El-ahrairah (who may have taken up a quasi-religious role after death). - Watership Down
  • Lapine Christianity - Parody religion - Cross between Reform Christianity and Lapine Theism
