Some malevolent little animal (4)

I believe the answer is:

vole

(Other definitions for vole that I've seen before include "win all the tricks" , "Small mouse-like rodent" , "Small burrowing animal - love it" , "River-bank rodent" , "Love this rodent, strangely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
