> A rat king is a term for a number of rats whose tails are intertwined and bound together by one of several possible mechanisms, such as entangling material like hair or sticky substances like sap or gum. The number of rats joined together varies from a few to as many as 30.
> In folklore, rat kings are associated with various superstitions and were often seen as a bad omen, particularly associated with plagues.

I know this exists but this just looks like sculpted wood.
>>38109488
That particular one is hundreds of years old iirc, so it mummified long ago.

Idiocy.
>>38109420
what an interestingly terrifying fate
>>38109420
Do they form a gestalt mind?
>>38109420
Why do rats do that ? Are they completely stupid ?
>>38109420
What kind of fucking world/universe/life/existence is this?
>>38109635
They get tangled and try to get out by pulling away which only tightens the knots, breaking the bones in their tails and the excrutiating pain makes them panic even more causing the knot to tighten even more.

Its not human made. Do your research
Has anyone tried smoking it?
>>38109889
living one or a dead one ??

>>38109907
well shit, the only thing worse than coming across a dead Ratking would be to find one with the rats still alive and biting at each other's flesh desperately trying to get free
>>38109889
No but it could grant supernatural abilities or the release of a wish granting genie.

Seems like an accurate representation.

Why would this b so common a thing that you need a term for it?
>>38109867
>Its not human made.
Yes it is. Do your research.

These things are fake and were created by Jews to confuse people when somebody said "Rat King" in reference to a Jew, because of their rat-like features and behaviour.
A rodent has had more sex than you

> A rat king discovered in 1963 by a farmer named P. van Nijnatten at Rucphen, Netherlands, as published by cryptozoologist M. Schneider, consists of seven rats. X-ray images show formations of callus at the fractures of their tails, which suggests that the animals survived for an extended period of time with their tails tangled.[5]
> discovered
Does that sound man made to you, fucktard?
>>38110131
They actually aren't very common. Only 40 or 50 documented cases.

This has nothing to do with sex? This is about rodents that become tangled by the tails.
Wow. I thought Terry Pratchett was just making that shit up.
>>38110553
>This is about rodents that become tangled by the tails.
They probably had sex though
>>38110491
>it's not man made
Find me the study that shows rats doing this to themselves you absolute moron.
>>38110894
Read the fucking wiki link you autistic nigger. I provided it for you right here: >>38110491
>>38111260
So if I make a crop circle aliens are real you absolute baka?
>>38111260
>rats wouldn't chew their own tails off if they did this to themselves when still alive
Such idiocy. Wow.
If you guys ever owned a rodent, you'd realise that they literally will panic and PULL their own tails off when it's caught in something, and they eat each other as well. The odds of a bunch of rats getting entangled like this when still alive is just silly. Sociopaths tend to tie cats tails together and throw them over power lines to watch them attack each other. That's what this is, a man made phenomenon like crop circles. They were tied to fast for them to bite off just one other tail, but a human that thought it'd be funny to put them in a bucket and shake it a bunch until they got tangled and died. For what reason would they tackle each other to death without trying to get away?
But be gullible and believe other people's conclusion on things. Don't learn to think for yourselves, and call me autistic.

it likely happens naturally in a rat nest under a tree that produces a lot of sap. a large amount of sap at once on a lot of rats and there's nothing they can do
>>38111674
Or randomly humans do it to them. If you cannot show them doing it to themselves all you have is a theory.
