I looked at them again and they are rather simple…but simple as in clean rather than lacking detail. Not sure why I like them so much, but I do. Perfect for the addition to the Alien Legion! :) |

The not-Burrouhs rat analogues are indeed nice. A bit bigger than I recall them being in the books, but of these aren't from any books are they now? (-;) |

Quite a bit larger…"multi-legged rat like creatures about the size of a terrier" But that said, I still like them as is! :) |

Terriers were bigger in them days. :) |

Ulsio: The Barsoomian rat This rodent is a Fierce and unlovely thing. It is many-legged and hairless, its hide resembling that of a new-born mouse in repulsiveness. In size and weight it is Comparable to a large Airedale terrier. The Airedale is the largest of the Terriers originating in Britain. They weigh 25–30 kilograms (55–66 lb) and have a height at the withers of 58–61 centimetres (23–24 in). link |

I am with you my friend! I figured you had done the research and like normal, great stuff. As soon as I get my money in I will be putting the order in :) |

Airedales are indeed pretty big dogs, there was one at the training school i took our Lab to and he was as big. With that in mind these guys look around the right size , maybe slightly larger… |

I've been rereading the series, & the ulsio can be large indeed for a rat-like critter.
From LLana of Gathol:
" . . . the largest ulsio I had ever seen."
"Ordinarily they are about the size of an Airedale Terrier, but the thing that leaped at me . . . was as large as a small puma . . . ."
I sent my order for 'em yesterday. |

Apparently memory doesn't serve then. I remembered the terrier bit but not the Airedale part. |
