I admit I half made this post wondering if anyone else would even know who I'm referring to

@Felthry

Hanpan was my favorite character in that game, and even was the indirect inspiration for the Bitkin. It's been a long path from there, but I liked the idea of a shoulder-sitting mouselike sidekick so much that I gave my main character at the time one, and that's where it started.

@dodec On top of being cute, he's also a reasonably well-written supporting character. I'm sad that his entire species seems to have disappeared in the later games.

@Felthry

There were a pair of them in the anime, but I don't remember that being much good.

@dodec I didn't know there even was an anime, though I guess I'm not surprised--a lot of video games of the time ended up getting mediocre anime series.
