*Some flyers have been posted around that someone named Roy is branching out to help cover some recent losses. Always the Entrepeneur, he's now selling dead rats from the slums. Though few, if any, would believe that this list was really written by this Roy fella, and likely just a smear by some rival.*
Fur, sharp teeth, flexible tails, so many uses!


Roy's 101 uses for a dead rat!
1. Back Scratcher
