| Is there a sourcebook (official or home-brewed) where I can find the stats for animals? |

| The new deluxe edition has stats for commom animals. Savagapedia Has some animal stats among the list of mooks and smonsters, too. Other than that I can't think of any books with stas specifically for animals. |

There are quite a few animals, though often giant versions in the Savage Free Bestiary

Several of the Pulp books have various animal stats. Mostly jungle cats and dinosaurs (and really, what else do you need stats for?  )
Deadlands has a few (bison, bears, etc).
Several of the S&S settings have mundane creatures (Beasts & Barbarians, Legends of Steel, etc).
And making NPCs is often faster and easier than hunting down their listed stats.
Any one in particular you're looking for?

Yea, I'm finding out how quick and easy it is to stat out NPCs.

I was looking for the stats on rabbits. One of my players wants his character to be able shape change into a rabbit.
I know its pretty easy to stat creatures and beasties out, but since I'm new to Savage Worlds rules, I'm a little uncertain of what I end up with.
I found some stats for rabbits in the Savage Free Bestiary that Timon pointed me to. (Thanks Timon) |

Glad you found some.
Me, I'd just use the house cat stats, but call it a Rabbit and change the Bite/Claws to a Kick; and maybe remove low-light vision.

It's the commoner's fault that he didn't learn to fight better than a cat.

| I'll actually be creating a rabbit swarm this weekend for a horror setting I've been working on. |

I like your suggestion of starting with the cat stats. I think I would change Pace to d8, remove the Climbing skill, drop the Bite/Kick damage to STR -1, and change the low-light vision to a +2 on Notice[Hearing — and maybe Smelling] rolls.
I might be thinking more of a Jackrabbit, but that's splitting hares.... |
