We all know that adorable mouse Muru. But have you every wondered how he got his name?

I think his name is Latin. It could come from mus, meaning 'mouse.' Or, more probably, it derives from murus, which means 'wall.' This is where we get the word 'mural.' I think it comes from murus because Muru himself turns out to be a cave painting, and he is part of a huge mural on the cave wall.

great article

yupik, April 23, 2007 at 04: 55 Member

i don't think you should have said 'annoying mouse'. And this article is wayyyy to short. But then again, your theory could be wrong, yet right at the same time. the only way its right is the mural part.

Sarabi Fan, April 23, 2007 at 12: 25 Webranker

The mural part is correct,Muru did appear from the wall,and disappear into it.

I agree with Sarabi Fan.

I agree with you, Canis Lupus, and disagree with yupik. He so annoying!:D

yupik, April 24, 2007 at 02: 11 Member

Pff, maybe to some. Dissagree all you want, but SOME people don't find him annoying, like me. HATE ME FOR IT!

Aleu Wolf Leader, April 24, 2007 at 05: 29 Member

It makes sense - great article And Yupik, an article doesn't have to be extremely long. It just needs to make a good point. One thing, though? This should be in the WQ articles

MayaHuskee, April 24, 2007 at 05: 31 Member

Aleu Wolf Leader -> It should be a moderate lenght, nu? You can always write more. And I do agree with Yupik. But perhaps this is right. But it IS just what you think. XB

Good article. I never thought about what his name would actually mean But anyways, he does come out and into the wall...so yeah, I believe that he got it from "mural". Great article ^^

So agree with you Yupik. Muru is soooooo cute and way wise. He's so not annoying. You people have got watch the movie again and get your facts straight. Awesome article though!!

Kelev, April 24, 2007 at 19: 12 Member

Interesting. I find Muru to be very annoying, but that's just me.

Canis Lupus, April 24, 2007 at 20: 04 Member

'One thing, though? This should be in the WQ articles' Whoops! I knew there was something I had forgotten! I meant it to go to the WQ section.

MayaHuskee, April 25, 2007 at 08: 06 Member

Canis Lupus -> You can EDIT the article, did you not know this?

Kodi Girl, April 25, 2007 at 10: 54 Member

I never honestly thought of Muru's name...To be honest I said "PFFFT! They just came up with that" Guess I was wrong but yes it has a lot of good information and is straight to the point. Nice Job!

Canis Lupus, April 25, 2007 at 16: 27 Member

'You can EDIT the article, did you not know this? Well, I'll go and do that now! EDIT: I've replaced the word annoying with adorable (well, he is kinda cute but his voice!:issedoff:) and now it is in the right section).

Balto64, April 25, 2007 at 20: 43 Member

I agree with you Aleu Wlof Leader (Muru was annoying)
