The Rat King is a large, sapient creature whose body is made entirely of rats. He lives in the sewers from underneath Trolberg and happens to be an associate with the Marra, which they practically trade each other secrets.
Biology[]
The Rat King a large muroid cluster, specifically dozens of rats that have their tails entangled together and all share a distinctive mind, thus act as one although the rat themselves favor a group. While they are able to speak all at once within an unnatural human language and their eyes glow in a reddish-orange color. The Rat King also has a taste for cod sandwiches even those found in the dumpster outside of the Salty Maiden restaurant.
