Why's it called Lemmy?

  • Lead singer from Motörhead.
  • The old school video game.
  • The Koopa from Super Mario.
  • The furry rodents.

As a metal fan, both Lemmy and Mastodon give me a little chuckle every time I think of their names.

Lemmy Koopa was actually named after Lemmy from Motörhead. In fact, most of the Koopalings were named after musicals.

Because servers are closed and people were yelling "Lemmy In!"
