History Main / MoleMen

* ''VideoGame/CuriousExpedition2'' features a race of mole people that dwell in the subterranean maps. They are the most technologically advanced native group in the game and are rivals of the Salamanders.

* ''WesternAnimation/AtomicPuppet'': The Puppet fights Mole Men in the episode of the same name. They're primarily interested in partying, albeit at the expense of Mega City's citizens.

* Urban legends about homeless people living underground and creating a complex, tribal-like culture and society abound. The most prominent account is Jennifer Toth's 1993 book ''The Mole People: Life In The Tunnels Beneath New York City'', and several documentaries on subject have been made. However most anthropologists and social scientists took the claim with skepticism and their existence as a different culture is not currently accepted by mainstream science.

* The Moligarchy of the Talpini in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', one of the many well-known lost civilizations beneath Paris.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Monsterpocalypse}}'' has the ''Subterran Uprising'', a faction of Kaiju sized mole men who want to blot out the sun.

* The Mole People in the eponymous episode of ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeGhostbusters'', although they are just regular people (despite being photophobic) who lives underground and is unfairly blame by tremors who are caused by ghost activity due to FantasticRacism. Their princess even becomes a LoveInterest of Eduardo. Probably based on the RealLife [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_people urban legend.]]

* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheHerculoids'' was called "The Mole Men".

* [[Creator/RobertEHoward Bran Mak Morn's]] Worms of the Earth
* One of the more famous examples are Morlocks of ''Literature/TheTimeMachine''.
* Referenced for a brief gag in Stephen Colbert's ''[[Literature/IAmAmericaAndSoCanYou America Again]]''. Colbert is busy explaining why alternative energy sources aren't good and on the topic of geothermal energy, he points out "Aren't the Mole People going to notice a sudden drop in their water pressure?" (A photo off to the side shows a Mole Person showering, with the caption reading "Gaaah! Who flushed the toilet?!")

* One of the villains from ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' is actually known as the Mole King. They were introduced stealing from the surface, one thing they stole being leather biker gear they wore for the rest of the series. Their king was [[CampStraight very flamboyant]] and his people were apparently all men, their getup resembling [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar BDSM gear]].

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': In "The Adventure of the Mole Men" Diana and the Holliday Girls deal with a group of Mole Men who have taken to abducting people using sink holes. The Mole Men have odd noses, stooped backs and eyes adjusted to dark but are not wholly different from humans.

* In ''WesternAnimation/NedsNewt'', there is an entire civilization of "trolls" (pretty much MoleMen under a different name) who often plot to overthrow humanity.

* ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'': Moliere, nicknamed "Mole". Not really a mole, but according to the sequel, he was raised by naked mole rats. Unsurprisingly, he drives a DrillTank for digging.

* ''VideoGame/SilentHill'' has the Mumblers/Clawfingers, who appear in the Sewers leading to the Amusement Park and replace the Grey Children (which they are functionally identical to, except they have more health and hit harder) in the Alley, School and Amusement Park in the European and Japanese versions of the game.

* The Moligarchy of the Talpini in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', one of the many well-known lost civilisations beneath Paris.
