Rats: The Servants Of Lorga
You ask me about Lorga, so I will tell you what I know. He is a vampire and has lived here in Poland for the last 275 years. Before that, I cannot say, though rumors put him in Hungary, where he was first encountered 300 years ago. Lorga is believed to stay mostly in a ruined castle deep in the forest somewhere, probably in the east, but he has lairs in other parts of Poland, including the one you destroyed in Krakow.
Lorga himself is a very powerful foe, but worse yet are his servants. Rats, some as large as a large cat, serve him. They protect him at all times, with many of them acting as his eyes and ears during the daytime. These rats are very smart and very tough. If Lorga commands them to attack, the attack will not end until the last rat is dead, and there will be many rats attacking.
It goes without saying that these rats are diseased. Some even carry a form of vampirism that changes the victim into a raving cannibal. Beware the bite of the Servants of Lorga, American.

Rats: Rufus & Rosie
On Earth 14-K, dogs & cats are not the most popular pets. That’s reserved for rats, which are about 50% larger and twice as smart as they are here on Earth Prime.
The great popularity of rats means they are found throughout pop culture. Nowhere is this more apparent than the hugely popular cartoon series “Rufus & Rosie”.
The first Rufus & Rosie cartoon was a 4 minute long silent from 1924, “Rats & Cats”. It was a big hit, so Sunshine Pictures made 6 more cartoons, although Rufus and Rosie were not actually named until the third cartoon, “Rufus Loves Rosie”.
The first sound cartoon, “Train Riding Rats” was released in May of 1929 and set the tone for most of the Rufus & Rosie” cartoons for the next 50 years. Either Rufus would get himself into a fix that Rosie would get him out of, or the two of them would be battling some bad guys.
Between 1929 and 1979, 106 Rufus & Rosie cartoons were made. From 1979 until now (current year 2005) another 24 were made. Besides the theatrical cartoons, there have been 5 television series and 14 full length animated movies featuring the lovable rats.
Rufus & Rosie have two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for motion pictures and one for television.
