Flea

An adorable smol mech found in the world of the MechWarrior IP. It has a sweet adorable innocent face, curvy bug antennas (which are obviously designed with the sole purpose of being CUTE), two cute toes, a derpy stance with its "chicken" legs, and a cute stomp stomp when it spins. It's pretty funny when a mech is so small and speedy, they have to name it a "Flea".

Its demeanor, the way it moves, and the way it zips around on the battlefield makes them appear extra cute. They often appear busy running around everywhere, mischievous, and a bit derpy in a cute way. The cute Flea adornments players can add to their mech cockpit further shows off its cuteness (a Flea park that reads "Flee to Fleadom", a mini galleon, and a "Meep Meep" warhorn). The world's biggest fan of the Flea, King Samu has created a persona around the Flea as a living breathing character full of personality; most notably the idea of "Flealosophy", the Fleas as a symbol of cuteness, speed, agility, simplicity, and lightness, and their insatiable and impulsive cravings to suddenly Fleadance to Fleaurobeat (a fast pace and uppity music genre perfectly suited to the speedy nature of the Flea). Fleas have feelings and are immortal, according to Flea expert King Samu.

Not only are they cute and meme-worthy, they are also effective mechs in MechWarrior Online in the hands of a skilled pilot, worthy of being cheered on as the underdog everyone secretly wishes to see succeed.
