Chris: I mean, it's possible that a creature like Irontooth--And you suspect at this point that he might be a particularly tough goblin, maybe a hobgoblin, which is like a bigger goblin.
Jerry: A supergoblin. It's like two goblins standing on top of each other.
Scott: You ever heard of a rat king? Where the rats are so packed together, their tails actually grow together. That's what a hobgoblin is. It's kind of like a rat king.
Mike: Is that a real thing?
Scott: You've never heard of a rat king?
Mike: No.
Scott: Yeah! It's in New York all the time. The rat population in urban cities are so great, that they have nowhere to go, and they actually grow, they fuse together.
Jerry: What.
Scott: They can't separate. It's called a rat king.
Mike: They walk around as one giant rat? That's the most terrifying thing! That's not true!
Scott: That's true!
Mike: That's like alligators in the sewer.
Scott: No, that's true. Rat king is true.
Mike: No, it's not true.
Jerry: Have you ever heard of an alligator king? It's when a bunch of alligators--
Scott: Listen. You can mock the rat king.
Mike: "But some day, he'll come for you!"
And here I thought the Rat King was human. That's what I get for listening to Eastman & Laird.
