A rat king refers to a group of rats whose tails have become entangled and bound together, often with blood, dirt, or excrement, forming a horrific knot of living creatures. While debated in its authenticity, the rat king has been found in historical accounts and museums dating back centuries, most notably in Germany.
It’s a symbol of decay, chaos, and unsolvable mystery. Learn more at Wikipedia – Rat King.
