Sandmites

Sandmice were a small, unique species that could be found scattered all over the Solana Galaxy and which calmly lived in little habitats under the ground. Using a Sonic Sommoner, Ratchet could summon a sandmouse, who will then temporarily float at the Lombax's side in a tiny craft, to provide some aerial assistance by attacking all enemies within range with rapid shots. Once they were unable to continue helping Ratchet, they teleport back down to their underground homes. Qwark referenced the species in his commercial for Big Al. mentioning that he been going to Al's shop since he was "knee high to a sandmouse".It appears in season 1 of Ratchet and Clank: The televison series.
