Hamsters are rat and mouse goblins; shrews are gnomes and moles are dwarves. Guinea pigs are trolls and naked mole rats are goblins. Ferrets are dragonborn. Rabbits are orcs. Hope this helps"

    I got to meet Brian when I was 7. I don't have loads of super clear memories of that period of my life, but I remember every second of our very short conversation. Still have a map of Redwall with his signature and a short message somewhere. I shed a lot of the stuff from my childhood but I'd never get rid of that.

    Read through much of these with my son as he was growing up, and they’re fairly formulaic BUT in a way that feels fresh each time.

    Such good books. Netflix had the rights to make shows … but here we are a decade later with nothing.

    Mr. Bunnys even has Martin and Matthias and Queen Warbeak as some of our faves

    My own proposal -

    Mice: Hobbit

    Rats: Human

    Hamsters: Goblins

    Rabbits: Elves

    Ferrets: Faerie

    Moles: Dwarves

    Guinea Pigs: Orcs

    Capybaras: Cloud Giants

    Surely rats would be the human analogue in this scenario, and fancy rats would be elves?

    Now, someone do this Lord of the Rings remake.

    Of all forest animals, the cutest fluffiest prey creature is the orc?

    And don't say they were sticking to rodents

    Rats are Elf mice.

    Ok, rats are like elves to mice, so far, so good.

    Mice are rat Hobbits.

    ...mice are like rats to hobbits?

    So are moles the aliens then?

    And what about voles?
