Mimmoth

A mimmoth is a tiny Construct, a mammoth the size of a rat. Mimmoths have replaced, or at least competed with, rats and mice in much of the Girl Genius ecosystem, which is probably a good thing since they're at least cute and entertaining. They seem to be more apt than mice or rats to gravitate toward laboratories, and to gum up the works. Like all Constructs, they were originally created by a Spark.

It is known that mimmoths are tasty in a light butter sauce. It may or may not be significant that one of the bits of served by Master Payne's Circus of Adventure is mimmoths on a stick. This name may, however, be figurative, just as a corn dog is not actually a type of dog.

Professor Moonsock seems to have trained some of them, and these, it appears, are.

The first known appearance of a mimmoth in the story is, in the dormitory's kitchen, but they might have shown up earlier in the chaos of Beetleburg. Mimmoths are like growf dragons in What's New in that they can be found throughout the whole oeuvre of Girl Genius &mdash; keep your eyes peeled, you might spot a few!

The Works
Mimmoths are also several cards in "The Works", where they are described as Pests as well as Constructs. The "Instruction" for the cards seems to imply that mimmoths travel or swarm in herds — obtain one mimmoth and you usually get them all.
