It is unlikely that the animal had bad intentions or was controlled by the Tan Army. He was probably only defending his burrow, being surely placed in that place by the Tan. Registering his remains, nothing special was found.<\/p>\n\n\n<div data-post-id=\"9456\" class=\"insert-page insert-page-9456 \">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pests for humans. Saviors for ecosystems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moles are small mammals adapted to a subterranean lifestyle. They have cylindrical bodies, velvety fur. Very small, inconspicuous eyes and ears, reduced hindlimbs, and short. Powerful forelimbs with large paws adapted for digging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moles were treated as pests by <a href=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/army-men-lore\/toykind-lifeforms\/lifeform\/mammals\/humans\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"6887\">human<\/a> gardeners, but was a fact that in reality they provided positive contributions to soil, gardens, and ecosystems, including soil aeration. They feed on slugs and small creatures that eat plant roots, fighting those inconvenient <a href=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/army-men-lore\/toykind-lifeforms\/lifeform\/bugs\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"2783\">bugs<\/a> for flora. They also provide preys for other wildlife. They eat earthworms and other small invertebrates in the soil too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The word &#8220;mole&#8221; refers to any species in the family Talpidae, from the Latin word for mole, talpa. Moles are found in most parts of the Real World like North America, Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n<div data-post-id=\"9460\" class=\"insert-page insert-page-9460 \">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In espionage jargon, a mole is a long-term spy sleeper agent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In espionage jargon, a mole (also called a &#8220;penetration agent&#8221;, &#8220;deep cover agent&#8221;, &#8220;illegal&#8221; or &#8220;sleeper agent&#8221;) is a long-term spy (espionage agent) who is recruited before having access to secret intelligence, subsequently managing to get into the target organization. However, it is popularly used to mean any long-term clandestine spy or informant within an organization (government or faction). In police work, a mole is an undercover law-enforcement agent who joins an organization in order to collect incriminating evidence about its operations and to eventually charge its members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/army-men-lore\/toykind-lifeforms\/lifeform\/mammals\/moles\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"9456\">mole<\/a>&#8221; is a metaphor, considering that is a <a href=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/worlds\/real-world\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"62\">Real World<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/army-men-lore\/toykind-lifeforms\/lifeform\/mammals\/moles\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"9456\">animal<\/a> that digs tunnels underground and lives in them, called <a href=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/army-men-lore\/toykind-lifeforms\/lifeform\/mammals\/moles\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"9456\">Mole<\/a>. The metaphor plays with this aspect of the animal being underground, undetected, hidden, waiting to act. These species was very mistreated and treated like a pest by humans, so surely came to the surface when they were not in the vicinity of its habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term was originally first introduced by a human, the spy novelist John le Carr\u00e9 in his 1974 novel &#8220;Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy&#8221; in the <a href=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/worlds\/real-world\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"62\">Real World<\/a> (when humans still existed) and has since entered officially in general usage by the <a href=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/army-men-lore\/toykind-lifeforms\/army-men-plastic-soldiers\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"2517\">Army Men<\/a>. But its origin in the <a href=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/worlds\/plastic-world\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"60\">Plastic World<\/a> was before the discovery of the <a href=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/worlds\/real-world\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"62\">Real World<\/a>. So it&#8217;s unclear, but was used to refer mostly to <a href=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/army-men-lore\/armies-and-units\/blue-army\/blue-spy\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"1940\">Blue Spies<\/a>. It&#8217;s unknown from where this came and to what extent it was used by intelligence services before the <a href=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/worlds\/real-world\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"62\">Real World<\/a>, that make the term more popularized. Le Carr\u00e9, a former human intelligence officer, had said that the term mole was actually used by human intelligence agencies, like the other analogy of the term: sleeper agent. While the term mole had been applied to spies in the book &#8220;History of the Reign of King Henry VII&#8221; written in 1626 by Sir Francis Bacon, Le Carr\u00e9 has said he did not get the term from that source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Sources for this article:<\/summary>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mole_(espionage)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mole_(espionage)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/details>\n<div class=\"likebtn_container\" style=\"\"><!-- LikeBtn.com BEGIN --><span class=\"likebtn-wrapper\"  data-identifier=\"page_9447\"  data-site_id=\"666cc35b6fd08ba15736e3bc\"  data-style=\"\"  data-unlike_allowed=\"\"  data-show_copyright=\"\"  data-item_url=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/characters\/lifeforms-beings\/evil-mole\/\"  data-item_title=\"Evil Mole\"  data-item_date=\"2024-05-17T02:43:57+00:00\"  data-engine=\"WordPress\"  data-plugin_v=\"2.6.58\"  data-prx=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=likebtn_prx\"  data-event_handler=\"likebtn_eh\" ><\/span><!-- LikeBtn.com END --><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Sources for this article:<\/summary>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mole_(animal)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mole_(animal)<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mole_(espionage)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mole_(espionage)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/details>\n<div class=\"likebtn_container\" style=\"\"><!-- LikeBtn.com BEGIN --><span class=\"likebtn-wrapper\"  data-identifier=\"page_9447\"  data-site_id=\"666cc35b6fd08ba15736e3bc\"  data-style=\"\"  data-unlike_allowed=\"\"  data-show_copyright=\"\"  data-item_url=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/characters\/lifeforms-beings\/evil-mole\/\"  data-item_title=\"Evil Mole\"  data-item_date=\"2024-05-17T02:43:57+00:00\"  data-engine=\"WordPress\"  data-plugin_v=\"2.6.58\"  data-prx=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=likebtn_prx\"  data-event_handler=\"likebtn_eh\" ><\/span><!-- LikeBtn.com END --><\/div><\/div><div class=\"likebtn_container\" style=\"\"><!-- LikeBtn.com BEGIN --><span class=\"likebtn-wrapper\"  data-identifier=\"page_9447\"  data-site_id=\"666cc35b6fd08ba15736e3bc\"  data-style=\"\"  data-unlike_allowed=\"\"  data-show_copyright=\"\"  data-item_url=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/characters\/lifeforms-beings\/evil-mole\/\"  data-item_title=\"Evil Mole\"  data-item_date=\"2024-05-17T02:43:57+00:00\"  data-engine=\"WordPress\"  data-plugin_v=\"2.6.58\"  data-prx=\"https:\/\/armymen.com.ar\/website\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=likebtn_prx\"  data-event_handler=\"likebtn_eh\" ><\/span><!-- LikeBtn.com END --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Was an animal from the Real World, used by the Tan like a defensive weapon In Army Men Advance campaign, during mission 9 &#8220;Patio&#8221; an animal named &#8220;Evil Mole&#8221; was used by the Tan Army to keep safe a river, Tan&#8217;s main mode of transport during that time.
