Besides the Pigs (which were named the "Three Little Pigheads" in a second appearance), the sewer rat stands out here, referred to as the "mouse" in the description (lowercase, but so's "sewer rat"). Since this is a physical guide source, it has higher priority. Besides that, ''sewer'' rat might be a misnomer. Yes, it uses pipes, but it's located on the house's second floor. So, taking a page from the [[Witch (boss)|Witch]] and [[octopus (boss)|octopus]], perhaps "sewer rat" should be "mouse (boss)" instead. It'd just be consistent with how Big Bird overrides "bird" from Mario Portal. Or alternatively, maybe the "rat" (per [https://www.superluigibros.com/images/media/nintendopower/43_sml2/050.jpg Nintendo Power]) since it's more common than "mouse".

- Mario Portal calls this boss "sewer rat", and per naming policy, a name from an official Nintendo-hosted website has higher priority over any physical guide source. Besides, I think that not renaming "Big Bird" to "bird (boss)" is more of an oversight than a model to follow — and at the very least, "Big Bird" is capitalized whereas "mouse" and "rat" are not.
