This device used a hypersonic pulse emitter to produce a sound wave at just the right frequency that attracts a sand mouse. When wearing the gadget near a sandmouse's house, the sandmouse came out and hovered by [[Ratchet]]'s shoulder for a moderate duration of time, shooting any enemy within its range.

The Sonic Summoner is a gadget that appears in Ratchet & Clank. It will attract a sand mouse, aliens which live in tiny underground homes, which are effective and capable hunters, but will aid Ratchet if they like him.[1] They float in tiny craft and will follow Ratchet from behind, attacking any nearby enemies with a stream of rapid-fire bullets, dealing capable damage. They eventually disappear on their own or if they have dealt enough damage.

The Sonic Summoner is obtained by bringing the hoverboard race prize from Blackwater City to Skid's Agent at Outpost X11 on planet Aridia.

The "Eat Lead" skill point on Batalia requires one sand mouse to destroy all four cannonball tanks in the Fort Krontos area.
