Before Trollface became one of the internet’s most iconic memes, there was an earlier character we’ll simply call “R. Rodent.”
According to the commonly documented origin story, Carlos Ramirez created Trollface in 2008 while attempting to draw this earlier R. Rodent character.
That gives R. Rodent a fascinating connection to the birth of Trollface — even if its exact early history isn’t as well documented.
R. Rodent → Trollface → Internet history.
Everyone knows Trollface. Far fewer know the lore that came before it.
Dig into the origin. Follow the lore. Bring the forgotten R. Rodent back into internet history.

meanwhile $Rodent is sub $20k and the lore behind it is actually pretty wild and it’s paired with $TROLL so you get it’s tokens as well for holding!
back in september 2008, carlos ramirez was apparently trying to draw a character called “rape rodent”
the drawing didn’t really come out as intended
instead, it became trollface
almost 18 years later trollface is one of the most recognizable memes on the internet, while barely anyone knows where the original drawing came from
now people are digging that forgotten piece of internet history back up, with rodent holders also getting troll rewards
betting on the lore catching up
$Rodent

When Carlos Ramirez uploaded the original Trollface comic in September 2008, he reportedly noted that he had been attempting to draw an earlier character known as “R. Rodent.”
What started as an attempt to draw something else accidentally produced one of the most recognizable faces in internet history.
What if i tell you that you get Troll Rewards for holding R. Rodent?
My coffee smells good.
