No idea without seeing Bunnicula (great name btw!), but this could potentially be an abscess, which is common in rabbits and sometimes contagious to other rabbits. I'd visit your nearest rabbit veterinarian who can take a sample of the swelling to examine under a microscope to give you a diagnosis and come up with a plan

Monitor for rapid change or growth, excess itching, redness, swelling or discharge. You can use a pet wipe or plain, unscented baby wipe to gently clean the ears. Make sure they are dry afterwards. If there is any change in the lumps or behavior, have Prince examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating rabbits. In the meantime, clean and sanitize the cage, bowls, toys and hides. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Clean the cage daily to prevent pests.

Although a picture of it would help to give you a more specific answer, this lump/bump/growth should be ideally examined by your local vet to have a diagnosis established. Your vet may want to perform an FNA (fine needle aspiration) or a biopsy to sample the bump and determine its underlying nature. Differentials would include skin cysts, infections, benign or more malignant type of tumors.
