The Rat King (Dead) is a grisly cluster of dead rats stuck together in one mass. It belongs to the Memento class, yet the game treats it as food.
It is a huge meal in calories and protein. The cost is the mind, since eating it causes a crushing wave of unhappiness. It is a last resort for a survivor close to starving, and a morbid curio for everyone else.
Using
The Rat King counts as vermin and is dangerous to eat raw. Cooking it makes it safe. It takes about twenty minutes to cook, and it burns if left too long. A microwave is a bad choice for it.
Once cooked it fills the stomach far more than most meals. It brings a large store of calories, protein and fat. The unhappiness it causes is severe. A survivor who eats it will need books and other comforts for a long while afterward.
As a find it is a rare and unsettling curio. A collector of strange keepsakes may prize it more as a display piece than as a meal.
Notes
- Eating it raw risks illness, so it should be cooked first.
- The meal fills hunger hugely but ruins the mood.
- It is a strong emergency ration for a survivor near starvation.
- A microwave is a poor way to cook it.
