Ever heard of a rat king?

A rat king is a collection 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 32. Historically, the phenomenon is particularly associated with Germany, which produced many reported instances. Rat kings occur so rarely that they have sometimes been thought to be cryptids, but there are several well-attested modern occurrences.

Imagine finding one of these in your attic

Dennis Duffy, the Beeper King, was always talking about Rat Kings on 30 Rock.

Odd how they all appear to die at the same time. If my tail was stuck together with other rats seems I would bite it off to get away or eat the rat next to me to not starve.

I think they usually drown struggling against each other, expending toomuch energy clawing each other to death

Hmmm, there is a Rat King in the Nutcracker ballet.
