So it's a rodent or a primate character that was featured on TV.

Are we ruling out bovidae due to the weight issue? The likes of Ed the horse would easily be too heavy... but what's the mass of your typical My Little Pony?

Although thinking about it, horses may not count. But fictional goats surely would?

Primarily on the basis of weight I assume it to be a rodent or a primate, and probably not something like a gorilla.

But also, the eating question. Many members of the bovid family are commonly eaten.

Horses are not part of Bovidae.

Some might think that Bovidae is ruled out because of the diet thing, but I doubt many Canadians are eating gazelles, for example.

Can it speak?

Yes.

No.

1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 12. Fictional rodent, primate or bovidae; but not a monkey.
2. Weight less than 180 lbs.
5, 8. Introduced in a movie or TV show Jan 1 / 41 or later.
9. Not part of the diet of a typical omnivorous Canadian.
11. Can speak.

It seems like a rodent is the most likely, because most fictional primates are monkeys, and most fictional bovids are of the large and/or edible variety.

Is this character a member of Myomorpha?

2. Weight less than 180 lbs.

How heavy is a typical reindeer, do you think? Would a flying reindeer be considered lighter than air?

That would be a timely one, but reindeer are neither rodents nor primates nor Bovidae.

Is this a fictional rodent introduced prior to the beginning of 2010?

14. If a rodent, introduced since Jan 1 / 10.
2. Weight less than 180 lbs.
9. Not part of the diet of a typical omnivorous Canadian.

Well, as I'm calling it a night for Christmas I'll make a random stab in the dark and bugger off.

Is it Roland Rat?

Merry Christmas, all!

Damn, hadn't loaded the previous message. Ah well

It is not Roland Rat, but I will give that as a free hint to the entire game as a Christmas present.

1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 12, 13. Fictional rodent, primate or bovidae; but not a monkey or myomorpha.
5, 8. Introduced in a movie or TV show Jan 1 / 41 or later.

Not:
Roland Rat (free hint)

Beaver, lemur or antelope?

Is the character's name the same as, or part of, that of the movie or TV show in which they first appeared?

(Clarification: for Peppa Pig, the answer would be yes, because her name is in the title. I know it's not her though, since pigs have been eliminated.)

Horses are not part of Bovidae.

Ssshhhh!

Don't tell Octavious the "pony" his parents gave him to ride as a child was actually a goat.
