The Giant Rodent Skull is a treasure found in Hey! Pikmin. It is actually a silver-grey computer mouse with a black scroll-wheel in a darker-grey rectangle. It is about the same height but 3 times the width of Captain Olimar.

Notes

Hey! Pikmin logs

My first impression was that this was a vehicle of some sort, but the S.S. Dolphin II claims that it was once a mouse. I can almost see it: the cranial ridge, the extended jawbone... Yes, now that I think about it more, this is clearly the skull of some enormous rodent. I'm glad I can always rely on the S.S. Dolphin II to steer me right.

It may look like a Giant Rodent Skull to Olimar, but this item is known by a more "mousy" name. Hint: it's not a computer rat
