I guess if New York cleans up their garbage the rats target the pigeons next. What happens if they run out of pigeons?
C
The rat king will form a council and decide with its last breath.
Z
For anyone that doesn’t know, a rat king is a real thing and not something you want to look up while eating… If you’re reading this on the toilet, have at it.
S
What if I’m eating on the toilet?
D
The rat king lurks in the sewage and might pop his head up thru the u bend to say hello
C
Heads. Plural.

Are you using the tank as a shelf for your comic books and chocolate milk and such?

Rat kings being a real thing is hardly proven. They are for the very vast part mythology and urban tales. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-complicated-inconclusive-truth-behind-rat-kings
D
urban **tails**
R
Rat kings do exist, but they’ve only been proven to exist in rare circumstances where rats gets stuck together to a variety of reasons and die. Existing beyond that is definitely up for debate and I’m not saying it’s common.
I
And you’d think they’d be referred to as a rat congress.
T
I’ve personally seen videos of “squirrel kings,” where several squirrels got their tails caught together with some kind of sticky resin. I really don’t think it’s a stretch to say it could happen to rats, especially given the places they tend to congregate.
I
I imagine it happening/hardening while they sleep in close proximity
X
I’ve always suspected that a human “prankster” was involved in the making of rat kings.
T
the celtic weave woven into their tails is a dead giveaway.
C
And that, kids, is how Vernor Vinge created “A Fire Upon the Deep”
L
There are many poor tormented rats in the rat king. 🙁
B

According to [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_king) Wikipedia entry, there are also squirrel kings. I can not believe this actually occurs in real life.

The rat king screams, for that is all it can do.

The table is round because the nibbled off the corners.

In the deep dark of the under cities the council shall convene. Skitter skatter, here are the things that matter. Food, breeding and the expansion of the underhive. Soon enough when supplies arrive, a new dawn will herald the vermintide.
E
Humans
D

K
Each other.
T
New York’s been dumping that same ooze that blinded Daredevil and made the Ninja Turtles into the sewers for years. When they get hungry the rat man army is gonna wipe that city off the map.

They train then manipulate turtles into ninja food scavengers, and will call themselves the ScAvengers.
