Rat king

Wally insists that rat kings are real, that they live in the sewers, and that the rats are all tied together by their tails UC E1·01:35:49. An MTA worker tells him he is always talking about rats and rat kings UC E1·01:35:45.

The Rat King is a king of the sewer rats, whom Wally had described as a mass of rats tied together by their tails UC E1·01:35:49 UC E4·00:01:22. In the sewers Kugrash hears rats announcing that the king has returned and says this is not the real Rat King UC E3·01:46:47 UC E3·01:47:00.

His character card is subtitled "It depends on who you ask" UC E3·01:48:20.
