Rabbit is a Japanese fighting game developed by Aorn and released somewhere in 1997 for Arcades and the Sega Saturn. The game contains a mixed bag of eight playable characters who can each summon a beast spirit to perform powerful attacks. An additional feature of the game was the ability to swap your character's spirit with another to create different playstyles. Unfortunately, Aorn never made another game beyond Rabbit and it was never re-released or remade by EA after its initial launch. As a Saturn title, the game is fairly rare today and can be considered one of the more obscure fighting games of the late 90s.
Hou En : Ookami-tama
Hou En is an overzealous classical Chinese opera actor who went mad when he got too into his character of "Hou-En". His default Beast Spirit is the cartoony Ookami-tama or Wolf orb, and its Beast force move is the "Hungry Wolf" which is performed by pressing (Back, Half Circle Back + Heavy Punch) while Ookami is active. Ookami will dive beneath the floor and reemerge as a giant head in an attempt to eat their opponent. If the attack connects, Ookami will trap the struggling opponent inside his stomach until Ookami either throws them up or is attacked by his user.
If Ookami misses, his teeth will shatter like an old-school cartoon character.
