Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the title of the book that Peaches is always carrying around?

Answer: Mr. Bunnsy Has an Adventure

This book is the image of ideal life for the Clan; animals wearing clothes and talking with humans as though it was normal. To us a dumb children's book, to them ideal life. As a note, the Clan did try to wear clothes but it wasn't practical for living in sewers.
2. What are the names of three of the Educated Rodents?

Answer: Darktan, Big Savings, Dangerous Beans

Darktan is the rat leader of the Trap Disposal Squad. Big Savings is the leader of the female rats and is a formidable force. Dangerous Beans is the "thinker" rat, he has adapted to the rats' change faster then anyone else. Peaches is Dangerous Beans' friend and she writes the Thoughts. Maurice is a cat and friend (even if he pretends not to be) of the rats. Keith is the "Piper". Hamnpork is the aging leader of the rats. Toxie is a young rat in the Clan. Malicia is the mayor's daughter. Mr. Clicky is a wind-up rat that the Trap Disposal Squad uses to set off the traps.
3. How many rats is the Rat King made up of?

Answer: 8

The Rat King is eight rats tied together by their tails. It can control the minds of rats, humans and cats and wants to destroy all the humans.
4. What "poison" does Malicia use against the Rat Catchers?

Answer: Cascara

Cascara is a laxative which Keith and Malicia used to convince the Rat Catchers that they were going to die if they didn't tell them about their plan. Malicia also used more cascara as a antidote to the "poison". It must have been pretty messy.
5. What color is Maurice?

Answer: Mucky-tabby

Maurice is a dirty-tabby color but he was planning on dyeing his fur black. He wants a nice old lady to take him in because black cats are lucky.
6. What is unique about the rat Sardines?

Answer: He tap dances and wears a hat.

Sardines lived in a theater before he Changed. He is the most terrifying rat because people understand rats' running and eating their food but a tap dancing rat is the last straw. People start doubting their sanity.
7. What was Hamnpork's advice to Darktan before he died?

Answer: Don't eat the green wobbly bit!

Hamnpork's final advice was...practical but not much help. Luckily Darktan was a good leader and had help.
8. What does the Rat King call itself?

Answer: Spider

Spider is a rather odd name for a rat, or rather a bunch of rats.
9. What is the name of the rules that the Clan lives by?

Answer: The Thoughts

The Thoughts are usually written by Peaches and thought of by the clan as a whole but with the insight by Dangerous Beans. Some of the Thoughts are:

We are the Changelings. We are not like Other Rats.
No Rat Shall Kill Another Rat.
We Cooperate, or We Die.
Not to Widdle where you Eat.
10. What name does the Clan not like to be called?

Answer: Vermin

They don't like to be called 'vermin' like cockroaches and other lower animals. They like the name 'rodents', don't mind 'rats' and the 'Clan' is what they call themselves.
