I just keep seeing this mouse everywhere, but it would make sense if it was a lemming. It’s a lemming, right? Where does the name Lemmy come from anyways?

The GitHub about page (below) lists 4 reasons why it’s called Lemmy:
- Lead singer from Motörhead.
- The old school video game.
- The Koopa from Super Mario.
- The furry rodents.
Ah so it’s a mix of things but also lemmings. They travel in groups and disperse from time to time so it makes for an appropriate mascot.
ha! I love that it’s a nod to motorhead. I had no idea, but thas what I thought about when I went to lemmy
Get all that out of here. My headcanon would always be this:
With the Lemmy Koopa being named after the Motörhead singer, that makes him 2/4 on the listed reasons.
Also, little known fact: the rodent is also named after the Motörhead singer. Weird but true.
It’s a Jerboa.
That’s the one.
