Seven Soldiers: The Klarion and Manhattan Guardian miniseries briefly feature a race of sentient, bipedal rats who dwell beneath New York City's subways.In Lori Lovecraft: The Dark Lady, the true form of the demon who attempts to pull a Grand Theft Me on Lori is a giant humanoid rat.In Joe the Barbarian, the hero, a diabetic teenager trying to stave off death, hallucinates that his pet fancy rat is a noble Rat Man warrior who aids him on his Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane quest to defeat "Lord Death" and retrieve his insulin.The Berev'Ha Dentii did have a moment of glory in the Danny Ketch era, when under Verminous Rex's command, they successfully kidnapped and killed a number of Ghost Riders so that Verminous get their power. Ghost Rider: One of Ghost Rider's minor foes is the bipedal, flesh-eating rat creature Verminous Rex, the sole survivor of an entire race of such creatures Berev'Ha Dentii that lived in the spaces between dimensional walls.note Wrong examples would be Tom and Jerry, The Great Mouse Detective, An American Tail, Capitol Critters, Cinderella's mouse friends, all rats from Ratatouille, Rizzo the Rat from The Muppet Show, Mickey Mouse, the Jews in Maus, the Rat King from The Nutcracker. Refer to Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism for guidance. Normal-sized rodents with human mannerisms do not count unless they are explicitly called out as abnormal in the fiction they appear. Note when adding examples: do not confuse ratmen with wererats: the latter are humans who can assume the form of a rat (or a giant rat, a human-rat hybrid, etc). Contrast Rodents of Unusual Size (where the rodents are huge but not necessarily humanoid or intelligent). Ratman civilizations are sometimes given a quasi-Japanese flair or called "Nezumi," which is simply the Japanese word for mouse or rat the proper Japanese translation for Ratmen would be "Nezumi-jin." Ratman supervillains often have either "rat" or "vermin" somewhere in their names. They may be (or descend from) rodents that developed humanoid features or humans that developed rodent features, whether through magic, science, radiation or natural selection. Still, they can also be just another humanoid race with no particularly outstanding good or bad traits, or victims of a Forced Transformation. Living in filth and squalor, reproduce at a dizzying rate and worship foul deities.
Ratmen are the rat equivalent of Lizard Folk: an entire race of intelligent anthropomorphic rodents or a single specimen thereof.Īs is often the case with Lizard Folk, these creatures are likely to be villainous. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), " The Good The Bad And Casey Jones"
