Talk:Mutant rat (Regrets)

Giant rat
This page should be merged with Giant rat. It is made obvious in the story that these rats are the same as the rats from The Talons of Weng-Chiang. Danniesen ☎  07:23, 21 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Which story? It's not in the first two (I haven't got any farther than that), and they're implicated to have been made the same way as the giant spiders from AitUK. Aquanafrahudy   📢   08:01, 21 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree with Aquanafrahudy. Sorry, when is it made obvious? I've not seen the The Talons of Weng-Chiang, so I couldn't say, but from what is said in the story vs what currently appears on the page for giant rat, I would say these are two separate creatures. Apex establishes that these are not just giant rats, but rats which have mutated after being exposed to extraterristrial chemicals dumped in the Docklands area; he even goes on to link them with the mutant spiders appeared in Arachnids in the UK (note that we have a separate page for Mutant spider (Arachnids in the UK) which mirrors the name of this page - Mutant rat (Regrets), as opposed to covering the subject at Giant spider). Furthermore, in Underground, Apex comments to Rume (or Room - not sure on the spelling) that if they'd "looked after [their] chemical waste recyclers better there wouldn't have been any giant rats in the first place". The giant rats from The Talons of Weng-Chiang, on the other hand, appear to be more the product of experiments undertaken Magnus Greel. If there is evidence which links the merger then I'd agree, but I currently can't see any evidence. 66 Seconds ☎  08:03, 21 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I’m as far as you. But isn’t it mentioned about a previous incident with rats like this before the mention of the mutant spiders? Danniesen ☎  08:14, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
