The Rat Conspiracy

The suburb of Johnston has been subjected to many allegations that a humanoid rodent inhabits the drains and sewers beneath the streets. Sightings made by multiple locals have suggested that it feasts on the garbage that people place in their bins. John Johnston (Local Conspirator) stated "I once saw that thing eat an entire Woolies Chicken, still scares me... I see him in my dreams to this day." The local people of Johnston have given the humanoid rodent the title of "Rat King."

Citizens of Johnston have made multiple complaints to Northern Territory police with the Minister Michael Gunner releasing a statement, "We ask the people of Johnston to lock your doors and keep an eye on your kids, as no force that police can aid will stop the Rat King... and i ask you all pray that he shows you mercy." The Northern Territory will not respond to any person who mentions the 'Rat King,' as they live in fear of his wrath.

If you see him scurry at you,

you are already dead.
