She Is the King: While she has a very feminine appearance and is always referred to as female, she's always called a God rather than a God dess. Raxivort resembled a xvart of great hideousness (even for a xvart). His skin was bright blue and his eyes glowed with orange light. [1] Raxivort's avatar could also take the form of a rat, [1] [5] giant rat, mobat, [5] or a giant bat. [1] Possessions [ ] For a majority of the game, the Rat God takes the form of a humanoid, angelic rodent. She has spiky lime-green hair with a large ahoge under her hat, big ears, bright, round pink eyes, circular cheek blush, large white angel wings that connect at the waist, and a long tail which she often shapes like a heart at the end when joking or being mischievous. Evil All Along: She initially presents herself as being on Mad Rat's side, but from the beginning, her true intentions were to get him killed.

In traditional Chinese astrology as well as traditional Chinese astronomy the sky was mapped into various asterisms or what are sometimes referred to as Chinese constellations. This is actually more similar to the zodiac of Western astrology than is the 12-animal cycle. The stars along the plane of the ecliptic were divided into groups known as the Twenty-Eight Mansions. Because the moon during its monthly cycle could be observed to appear to move from one mansion (or "camp") into the next each night in turn, they are also known as Lunar Mansions. Traditionally, these mansions were divided into four groups of seven each, and associated with one of four spiritual entities. The rat is generally associated with the celestial region of the Mystical Warrior, or Xuánwǔ ((玄武)), and specifically with the mansion Xū (虛), which in turn is associated with the direction North and the darkest part of the winter season, in the northern hemisphere. [4] (Xū (虛) is more-or-less equivalent to Beta Aquarii, also known as Sadalsuud). a b Elvis Thirlwell (April 5, 2023). "Wednesday - Rat Saw God review". DIY . Retrieved April 7, 2023. The Horned Rat, also known as the " Lord of the World Below", the " Great Horned One," and the " Under-Father," as well as thirteen other secret names known only to the mage-priests known as the Grey Seers [3a], is the supreme god of the Skaven, and he brooks no other gods before him among the ratmen. He is the mainstay in my collection of original art and one of the most precise and admirable storytellers in the medium.”—Guillermo del ToroOnly Sane Man: Tries to help Mad Rat in his quest for revenge. Becomes this even more so following the reveal that Mad Rat's perception had been compromised from the beginning, and keeps him from danger from then on. Leitmotif: "MAD RAT, ALIVE?"

The Horned Rat is infinitely patient, an insidious evil that has gnawed on the edges of reality since the earliest times. [2a] Undying and eternally scheming, this cunning deity patiently awaits the day of the "Great Ascendancy," when his children will swarm across the face of the mortal world, devouring it from within and granting him the power to become the greatest of all the gods. [2a] Mad Rat is the Rat God's intermediate host, which in parasitology means that he is the "transitional" animal she is inhabiting and using as a vector by which to reach her definitive (final) host, a cat. This biological arrangement defines their in-story relationship, with her doing everything in her power to lead him to a feline predator, even if it means manipulating and lying to him in the process. The songs on Rat Saw God don’t recount epics, just the everyday. They’re true, they’re real life, blurry and chaotic and strange – which is in-line with Hartzman’s own ethos: “Everyone’s story is worthy,” she says, plainly. “Literally every life story is worth writing down, because people are so fascinating.” Ghostbusting on top of changing family dynamics has a way of going awry––and that’s exactly what one paranormal force is counting on.Treacherous Advisor: All of her "advice" in the game is just a ploy to get Mad Rat killed so she can live on in another host's body. Leitmotif: "HEART's Beat." The boss battle against him is accompanied by a remix of it, and you hear another remix of it when Mad Rat rewinds time to before the heart transplant and releases Heart, as a cat, out of his pet carrier.

There are a lot of Lovecraft references: Miskatonic University, Arkham, the Elder Gods, the gibbous moon, Yog Sothoth, C’Thulhu, not to mention our hero Clark looks a dead ringer for HP Lovecraft himself. But why? I have no idea! Corben’s a Lovecraft fan? Corben’s a horror artist and Lovecraft wrote horror so… ? Baffling. Sparse-styled Hemingway this is not, though we learn soon enough the reason for the purple-prose: A strange, patch-eyed old man who takes direct involvement in the yarn he’s spinning. I think country music is kind of a [joke] right now in popular culture, but I think it sounds like that ‘cause that’s where we’re from. It’s inseparable,” says Hartzman. “There is, in our generation, this weird non-accent [because of] TV shows and stuff like that – and that kinda makes me sad. I wish I connected with where I’m from through that, but I think we’re able to make up for that through the stories we’re telling and our instrumentation.” Hardman, Neville (April 7, 2023).

Within the Realm of Chaos, the Horned Rat has carved out his own domain, called the Realm of Ruin, just like that of his more powerful rivals among the major Chaos Gods. [5a]This is the first comic I’ve read that’s written by Richard Corben - usually I read comics he’s only drawn - and Rat God isn’t a bad effort but it is an overly perplexing one.
