  I will direct you to the Lemmy project documentation, where the rodent species is explained in a Why's it called Lemmy? section (the last bullet point). It is indeed a lemming, as mentioned here already. However, I do not think I have ever seen a specific name for a mascot mentioned. That would be an interesting idea, though. Good luck.

  I did not think about torrent links at all. That is actually a really neat idea.

  My nickname at grammar school was literally “The Hamster” if you would translate it to English. Apparently, I reminded one of my classmates of their hamster because I usually ate some greens for breakfast. I liked it and it just stuck. Everyone, included some teachers, called me that. My former classmates still do. I have found this one picture after searching for a hamster images and I am using it ever since. However, one animal loving friend of mine told me he thinks the rodent in the image is actually a gerbil instead of a winter white dwarf hamster (Djungarian hamster), which it was supposed to be. Ah, well, who knows. I have been happy with the avatar and have no intend to go looking for another hamster avatar.
