Reepicheep the Mouse is a fictional character in the children's fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis. He appears as a minor character in Prince Caspian and as a major character in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and also briefly at the end of The Last Battle. Reepicheep is a Talking Mouse, the leader of the Talking Mice of Narnia; he is irascible yet imperturbably courteous, utterly without fear, and motivated by a deep concern for honour.

==Description== Reepicheep is described as a "gay and martial mouse", about two feet high when standing on his hind legs, with ears "nearly as long as (though broader than) a rabbit's"; small Talking Beasts in Narnia are very much larger than their "dumb" counterparts. He speaks with a shrill, piping voice. His fur is very dark, almost black. He wears a thin circlet of gold on his head, with a crimson feather. His weapon is a rapier.
