Line 223:
* [[Kizzsprite]] is a chinchilla, resurrected as a kernelsprite. Of course, much weird plot shit surrounds him. We probably shouldn't get any further than that.
==
* Splinter from ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' is a pet rat who was mutated into a four foot rat-man - or, in the 1987 series, a human mutated into a four-foot sewer rat.
* [[Classic Disney Shorts|Mickey Mouse]] is a three foot tall mouse. Good thing he's not dangerous. [[Kingdom Hearts|Well,]] [[Epic Mickey|usually]].▼
▲* [[Classic Disney Shorts|Mickey Mouse]] is a three foot tall mouse. Good thing he's not dangerous. [[Kingdom Hearts|Well,]] [[Epic Mickey|usually]]
** [[Robin Williams]] jokes that his son was traumatized by the actor playing Mickey Mouse at [[Disney Theme Parks|Disneyland]].
* Rattrap, of ''[[Transformers]]: [[Beast Wars]]'' and ''[[Beast Machines]]'', transforms into a giant rat, a choice influenced by [[Transformation Conventions]]. While not the genuine article, his personality is such that he might as well be, and he certainly seems to think of himself as one.
{{quote|Rat...robot. Rat...robot. I'm a robot ''and'' a rat! Yeah, I ''like'' it!}}
** The quote above was said immediately after all the Maximals had a breakthrough of sorts resulting in the merging of their Transformer and animal psyches. Just saying.
* ''[[Biker Mice From Mars]]''.▼
▲** Also overabundance of giant rats is apparently why Mung [[Idiot Ball|keeps poison in the spice cabinet]].

* [[Looney Tunes|Bugs Bunny, Lola Bunny,]] [[Tiny Toon Adventures|Babs and Buster Bunny]] [[Running Gag|(no relation)]], [[Loonatics Unleashed|and Ace and Lexi Bunny]], all from Warner Brothers.
** Actually, these are Lagomorphs of Unusual Size, since Lagamoprha is a separate Order from Rodentia. However, this [[Taxonomic Term Confusion]] is not so much [[You Fail Biology Forever]] as [[Science Marches On]]; lagomorphs were considerd to be rodents until the early 1900s.
Line 260 ⟶ 256:
* One episode of ''[[Cyberchase]]'' involved The Hacker using a giant hamster called a hamborg (which for some reason resembled a capybara) as part of his evil plan.
* In the ''[[Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner]]'' cartoon "Chariots of Fur", Wile E. tries to catch the Roadrunner with a giant mousetrap. Instead, he snags a giant mouse, who then turns the tables on him.
* ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]''
