About

Samus Aran As A Hamster, more commonly known as Hamus, is a fan art trend in which artists draw Metroid protagonist Samus Aran as a hamster. The trend started on Twitter / X in late June 2024. It is comparable to the March 2023 Moushley art trend, which had artists draw Ashley Graham from Resident Evil 4 Remake as a mouse.
