Moles, the denizens of the underground, digging their tunnels. Often Beneath the Earth and in miner attire, no doubt Tunnel Kings. Also included are gophers and other burrowing rodents. See also Mole Men, who are very similar to this trope, but more humanoid.
Not to be confused with The Mole. See also Drill Mole.
Sub-Trope of Animal Occupation Stereotypes.

Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard: The kingdom's mole population was the previous owners of the Mole Mines, though they abandoned it sometime prior to the game's events. One of the moles eventually provides Finn and Gwen with the means of crossing the ocean via an old boat the moles used to transport minerals from the mines.

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog:
Spelunk from "Subterranean Sonic'' is one of these, and he doesn't take kindly to outsiders stealing his treasure. While Sonic and Tails don't have any intention of doing so, Dr. Robotnik certainly does.
In "Honey, I Shrunk the Hedgehog", Sonic and Tails work alongside an entire team of these in a coal mine. McMole is their leader.
