Little Mouser

A Little Mouser and a Little Skull Mouser.

Little Mousers, also known as Squeeks are a species of small, mice-like creatures who wear bandannas that obscure their faces. Judging from their English name, one would think that Little Mousers are relatives of Mouser of Super Mario Bros. 2. However, their Japanese name, Chu-san, defies that notion, which is why they have been renamed in later games.
