How do we talk about the Lemmy Doodle? Is it a mascot? Is it a lemming or a rat or a lemur? Does it have a name?

Lemmy's search widget isn't working for me. Google produced these questions, but asked a year ago. No consensus was reached then.

I think it’s supposed to be a lemming. I imagine its name is just Lemmy, tho I call him Lem for short. Honestly though any small rodent is going to look like a rat or mouse to me (and I love animals lol.)

Yep it's a lemming. there's versions of it in YSK's community banner and icons too lol, and on mildly infuriating

Cool thanks. I happened to have a considerable supply of lemming, ferret, and otter erotica (or otterotica for short) in advance of finding out about this place. Now I have an application. Wanted to make sure it wasn't a lemur.
