* In [[Real Life]], there's very good reason to be afraid of mice. House mice in particular [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/House_mouse:House mouse#Mice_and_humansMice and humans|can carry deadly diseases]] and there have been reports of ones growing so large they attack albatross chicks nearly one meter tall.
