A WikiRodent is a variety of
WikiFauna, of Rodentia. Like the
Rodent after which it is named, a WikiRodent has a single pair of continuously growing
incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws. This makes their craving to use them and
wear them down endless. However, due to their
size, their
bites are mostly harmless, unless an infection starts and causes a snowball effect that has the ability to
ruin everything.
While dismissed by some as an annoying pest, the WikiRodent is vital for
sparking discussions that need to be had on Wikipedia. WikiRodent behavior can indeed be a good practice because it will work a
proposal/nomination process to perfection. Their proneness to controversy is done with
good faith in mind, as can be seen by their indiscriminate scavenging. They are important to the ecosystem as few other fauna have any desire to participate in the conflicts that WikiRodents are usually found at.
Fairly often, WikiRodents will be brutally eaten by a
WikiGryphon or other experienced fauna like the
WikiSnake, whom instantly shuts down their squeaking.

WikiRodents benefit just from the existence of others participating in Wikipedia, and are always found wherever there are other editors. Existing in a large number, WikiRodents are vital to feeding the
ecosystem WikiFauna predators. The WikiRodent is quite social but can come off easily as annoying to other
WikiFauna.
They loathe
lame edit wars (and edit wars in general, tending to lose them) and prefer their conflicts to be productive and meaningful. This is part of the reason for why they will ask questions that others may tend to
steer away from.

WikiRodents do require rest. It's hard to be running around all the time. When they break they enjoy each other's company.
WikiRodents can grow to be quite experienced editors.
They are cunning creatures that will often squirm their way out of difficult situations, playing an often dangerous game of devil's advocate.
