Miniature giant space hamster

A Miniature Giant Space Hamster is, quite obviously (according to Minsc at least) a giant hamster from space which has been miniaturised somehow.

These creatures are apparently quite intelligent and have the ability to talk in whispers, though most of the time they just make normal hamster squeaks.

The only known Miniature Giant Space Hamster in existance is named Boo and has been the animal companion of the Rashemi Ranger Minsc ever since his first head wound.
