Summary
Appearance: A giant blob of sentient rats forming into the shape of a singular rat.A local couple had a rodent problem. They simply could not kill the singular rat that chose their apartment to nest in. As they tried increasingly cartoonish methods to rid their home of this menace, they dubbed it the King of all Rats. This got to the unusually intelligent rat’s head. It soon went to the sewers of New York where it gathered allies and accomplices. Soon it made a bold move to consolidate its power; it imbued a toy crown with mystic energy. This turned all the rats in its nesting grounds into a hivemind creature that now walks around as a giant amalgam of rats. An ever-expanding mass, this creature has forgotten which of the individual bodies that make it up was the original. Now the Rat King seeks to expand its territory and its empire, and is willing to throw away as many rat bodies as needed to accomplish this goal.
