Nonstop Knights[]
A Deadmau5-inspired character was featured in Nonstop Knights, unlockable after you beat The Deadmau5 Challenge. Zimmerman used the design in the cover for the private preview of the track "Legendary".
Minecraft[]
Deadmau5 appears in Minecraft as a skin. Markus Persson was a fan of Deadmau5, and Deadmau5 was a fan of Minecraft. Because of this, Persson made a skin for Deadmau5 with ears. But the ears weren't part of the skin, they were part of the name tag. So if a user changed their name with the Deadmau5 skin, they'd lose the ears due to a bug.
