"Witches or Rabites":
See, "Rabites" sounds like an amalgam of "rabies" and "bites", and I GOT rabies from a bite, which sucks.
Well, actually I don't know if I really had rabies or not. I guess the only way to tell for sure is if you have the animal in question, whereupon they kill it and take its brain out and poke it with sticks. I think they then put the brain in a robot.
Anyway, let me tell you, when you're ducking under a tree branch and something falls down the back of your hoodie and you reach back and feel what appears to be a bird flapping around and grab a suspiciously leathery wing and yank it out with as much gentleness as you can and you think to yourself "aww the poor lil' birdie (owtch!) I hope it's alright-- SWEET JESUS IT'S A FREAKIN BAT" the next thing that goes through your head is NOT "hey, I should hold ON to this flittering demon from Hades!" I mean, it's not like I had a spare Dusk Ball or anything.
So yeah. The aforementioned "owtch!" turned out to result in the teensiest little drop of blood on the back of my neck, which I discovered after I had fled the copse of trees shrieking like a cheerleader. I went to the hospital, because I heard that rabies sucks. Like DMV-level sucks.
AND, because I hadn't had the foresight to jam the horrible thing into my pocket, they had to assume I had contracted the disease. I guess by the time you show the symptoms of untreated rabies, you're dead or whatever.
No, they don't give you the shots in the stomach anymore. But imagine this: they take a long, LONG needle, stick it into your neck, squirt some stuff, pull it out PARTWAY, TWIST it around, jam it in AGAIN, squirt some more silver or garlic or whatever in, pull and twist AGAIN, etc. And that's ONE shot; they give you shots in a circle all the way around the bite. Okay, and all that? ONCE A WEEK FOR SIX MONTHS.
So: witches. F**K rabites.

Witches can cast spells to turn someone into Rabites, with this ability in mind, I must advocate Witches over Rabites. Witches have had the longevity to keep in the public's consciousness for a long time now. Rabites have yet to prove their characters have such riveting staying power. I look forward to witnessing the Salem Rabite Trials however, if they should occur.

Rabites! Better to have them on your side, then chasing after them with the Mana Sword.

Witchies, they tend to be, particularly in Luminous Arc, beautiful.

I totally have to go with witches! You never know what they're planning, which makes them more interesting and fun. Rabites are a bit too predictable.

definitely rabbits, with their cuteness and their hoping. rabbits have their soft soft soft fir, and their tail is just so bushy.

I don't even know what the heck a Rabite is but it sounds way cooler than a plain old Witch. So I pick Rabites.

Well, on the one hand Rabites are adorable... but on the other, so are the witches in Doki Doki Majou Shinpan. But then, the Rabites have probably been less abused... and yes, I am aware of adventurers running through, slaughtering them in hoards, but I still would say a Rabite probably has less trust issues and complexes than any "witch" in that particular game. So I gotta go with the Rabites.

Witch
What's more intimidating; a rabite or a witch? Besides touching a witch is better than a rabite. Rabites are pink blobs that throw themselves at enemies which is pretty boring whereas a witch can blow things up at the very least.

Definitely witches. The Mana universe is cool and all, but I've got a grudge against Rabites ever since Secret of Mana.
