There were two "spirit bunnies" as you call them.

The "good guy spirit bunny"'s name was Elil-hrair-rah, or El-ahrairah, who was based on the African American hero Brer Rabbit. The stories of Brer Rabbit were alluded to in the end of Ch. 48, when Dr. Adams (probably an allusion to the author himself Richard Adams) was reassuring Lucy that Hazel, the main character, will survive his being beaten up after Dr. Adams heals Hazel. El-ahrairah is a folk tale told among the rabbits, rather like a creation story and the cunning of rabbits and how great was El-ahrairah.

The "bad guy spirit bunny"'s name was The Black Rabbit of Inle, who was based on the Grim Reaper. Bigwig and Hazel think that Holly, when he comes to join their warren, is the Black Rabbit, because he yells, "Zorn!" which means destroy(ed). El-ahrairah wants to make a deal with the Black Rabbit, but he fails.
