Mouse is a rarely used creature type which first appeared on tokens in Throne of Eldraine.
Description
It depicts small rodents with a pointed snout, relatively large ears and eyes, and a long tail. In essence, they are the white aligned counterparts to black aligned rats, as animals not traditionally thought of as "mice" (like jerboas) are included in the type, implying theme is more important than phylogeny.
History
This creature type came into being only because the Enchanted Carriage needed white Mice for flavor. R&D talked about whether the card should make Rat or Squirrel tokens, but ultimately decided in favor of mice.[2]
The Mouse type returned as a non-token creature in Zendikar Rising with Canyon Jerboa.[3]
In the lead up to Bloomburrow, R&D began seeding a small number of Mouse cards in Wilds of Eldraine.[4] In both sets the Mouse type is -aligned and in Bloomburrow they make up a limited typal archetype for this color combination.
Storyline
Eldraine
Mice of Eldraine are non-sentient critters mostly found in households and castles. They are known for their cheekiness, being prone, whenever they get a chance, to steal food — or even cursed rings from witches. Unassuming in nature, some dignified mice help dwarves to sustain their armories squeaky-clean, and some have helped to repel the Assault on Delverhaugh.
Bloomburrow
Mice are one of the animalfolk of Bloomburrow. Some of them are Soldiers, members of the Order of the Holly Leaf.
One of their kin, Mabel, assembled a rag-tag group of warriors and misfits to defend against the Calamity Beasts, and long-ago her possible ancestor, Lily of the Valley, repelled the Calamity Beasts from the Valley.
