The Pika (/ˈpaɪkə/ py-kə; archaically spelled Pica) is a small mammal, with short limbs, very round body, rounded ears, and no external tail.

It is also known as the "whistling hare" due to its high-pitched alarm call when diving into its burrow, which is believed to be a transdimensional portal.

Several expeditions have entered, and failed to return from, the Pika's burrow.
