Well, during the early stages of creating this Fear the only concrete idea I had about what it would be like is the rabbit imagery. I thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if such an innocent creature would be the basis for a new Fear." The vengeful spirit stuff only came afterwards when I started looking over the common themes rabbits tend to represent in fiction (life, happiness, fertility, etc). I think at one point in the process one of the people giving me advice suggested that it mutates its hosts into looking more rabbit like the longer it possesses them. Mainly things like claws, razor sharp teeth, deformed hind-legs, and weird tumor-seque growths coming out from the head that resemble rabbit ears. I thought it was a good idea but never managed to write it down in a way I thought that would give it justice. So eventually I just took it off the page and figured I'd add it back at some other point.

That's essentially the reason why it's called the Morsus Rabbit instead of "The Morsus Spirits" or the more generic "The Morsus Woman".
