Hamsters were a tamable mob that Notch wanted to add. However, he left Mojang before he could implement them. They are similar to the Guinea Pig.
Different Hamster Variants
Hamsters come in eight color variants: black, brown, dark brown, dark gray, golden, gray, plum and white.
They can be found in Beach and Desert biomes.
