Mutant rat (Regrets)

Mutant rats (AUDIO: ) were rats which grew in size after being exposed to extraterristrial chemicals dumped in the Docklands area of London, forming a new subspecies. (AUDIO: ) Docklands was the location of Canary Wharf, (PROSE: ) where a battle between Daleks and Cybermen was held, (TV: ) and the location of Torchwood Tower, which investigated alien incursions. (TV: Army of Ghosts) As Apex Costa noted, (AUDIO: ) a similar case occurred in Sheffield in 2018 when spiders mutated after being exposed to toxic waste. (TV: Arachnids in the UK)

A series of attacks were reported in the press. In the third reported attack, a family dog was killed. The owner was on a work Zoom, when her dog Benji started barking. After he stopped, she went out into the garden and found him; he had been mauled and ripped to shreds. She saw the tail of the rat disappearing under the fence. She described it as "half rat, half gremlin". (AUDIO: )
