Description

Entity 13HRP – 0006 – Rat Man, also called Rat Man, is one of the most disturbing anomalies tracked by the Hollow Reality Project. The Rat Man looks like a giant human-shaped rat, covered in thick, greasy fur that seems sick and dirty. Its long tail acts like a whip, used for balance and striking. The claws are sharp and curved, and the most frightening part is its mouth: the teeth look human at first but stretch into jagged fangs like a wild animal’s. As a result, bite wounds show a mix of human-like and animal-like damage, which makes it hard to know the true cause.

Classification: Cryptid-Class Humanoid Rat
Threat Level: Urban Hazard
Containment Status: Still free; only tracking is possible

Height: 1.68 m
Weight: About 317 kg
Blood Type: Unknown
Gender: Unclear; both male and female traits seen

Physical Traits

Reports note that the Rat Man’s fur gives off a strong smell like ammonia, often noticed before it is seen. The smell lingers long after it leaves, serving as a warning sign. Moreover, some believe the smell itself causes fear and stress. Fur and claw samples resist decay and even twitch after removal, showing signs of life. Its eyes switch between dull black and moments of strange brightness, sometimes glowing faintly. Witnesses say the Rat Man’s gaze brings disturbing thoughts and voices inside the mind.

Environmental Effects

Areas touched by Rat Man show heavy change. For example, soil samples reveal strange fungi and rat diseases that grow faster than normal. Buildings touched by the Rat Man rot quickly, metal rusts faster, and machines fail for no reason. Furthermore, some empty houses fall apart in unnatural patterns after infestation, suggesting the Rat Man’spresence warps the environment.

Sightings

The Rat Man appears mostly at night in gardens, factories, and abandoned places. Witnesses often see it trying to enter houses. Afterwards, it escapes into sewers, ruins, or woods. Therefore, the Rat Man is too fast and clever for capture.

Known Behaviours

Graffiti made of blood and waste on walls and fences.
Homes torn apart without signs of forced entry, followed by missing families.
Survivors suffer visions and voices of the Rat Man, often feeling watched.
Infestations of rats return again and again, even after removal.
Objects like chewed toys, bones, or claw carvings left as signs or warnings.

Cult Links

The Rat Man is tied to strange cult groups. Victims gather in camps, building shrines and chanting together. They often become violent. Consequently, this suggests the Rat Man spreads an idea-based sickness, not just fear. People also see the Rat Man on rooftops or wires, leaving claw marks and bent metal. In addition, cameras often fail when it is nearby. In some cases, whole neighbourhoods go dark when the Rat Man appears.

Medical Reports

Doctors studying captured cult members first thought they had schizophrenia. Yet the timing and shared symptoms show a shared outside cause.

Strong medicine was needed to calm their visions.
Some improved slightly, but most needed long-term sedation.
Even under treatment, many still dreamed of the Rat Man or felt forced to obey its voice.

Brain and Body Changes

Scans show strange brain activity in fear and memory regions. This suggests the Rat Man can change the brain itself. Victims sometimes grow rodent-like hair, longer teeth, and gnaw at things. Some make squeaks in their sleep even under heavy sedation. In rare cases, nails turned into claws and jawbones lengthened, showing slow change into rat-like shapes.

Investigations

Field teams found bunkers near cult camps filled with cages, bones, and ritual items. This suggests mass kidnappings and sacrifice linked to the Rat Man.

Events usually follow the same path: disappearances, cults, violence, then collapse. As a result, this repeats in many regions, proving the Rat Man spreads like a cycle. Cameras and sensors are now used in key areas. Authorities classify it as a dual threat, both physical and mental.

Strange carvings in sewers show rats merging with humans. Furthermore, some devices recorded whispers in many voices with no clear source, adding to the mystery.

Deeper Analysis

Many think the Rat Man serves the Rat King, a larger intelligence that rules over rodents. The Rat Man acts as both enforcer and recruiter. Cult sites often contain rat nests, bone totems, and ritual signs, showing organisation under a higher power.

Mind Effects

The mental effects of the Rat Man—paranoia, voices, and rituals—are like other known idea-based dangers. Thus, debate continues on whether the Rat Man is a single being, a projection of the Rat King, or a mix of urban fear, rats, and decay.

Meaning and Symbolism

Some argue the Rat Man reflects society’s fear of filth and collapse. It thrives where cities fall apart. Consequently, containment may require fixing the environments it uses, not just fighting it. Others say the Rat Man shows decay as a natural force, feeding on ruin and turning it into a way of life.

Philosophers see the Rat Man as a sign of entropy. By living in sewers and ruins, it becomes a symbol of breakdown. Its cults act out society’s collapse. For this reason, some say it proves humans lose ground when they let places rot. Others argue the Rat Man may show not just collapse but a new order: one where rats and humans merge, and cities turn into hives ruled by the Rat King.

Assessment

The Rat Man is a Class-A mental contagion and one of the biggest threats in the project. Cult growth, vanishing families, and ruined towns prove it connects to a wider network. Therefore, strong cross-field study is needed to stop further spread.

Directive: All agents must avoid cult camps marked with Rat Man signs. Any graffiti must be reported and cleaned fast. Moreover, protective steps must be used after any contact.

Instant Report – ██/██/████

Filed by: Operative [REDACTED]
Clearance Level: Ultra

Summary:

Seven cultists linked to the 13HRP – 0006 – Rat Man spoke in reversed words. The recording is too dangerous to share but is being studied. Early tests connect the sounds to ancient speech forms.

Incident Site:

Agents found a cult camp destroyed. Blood trails marked the ground, but no survivors were found. The destruction seemed deliberate and complete.

Unexpected Encounter:

Teams also saw 13HRP – 0022 – Arm Eater nearby. A woman named Olivia Xathriel said Johnny destroyed the cult. Her claim is unproven, but strange given her lack of prior knowledge.

Assessment:

The wiped-out camp may show conflict between anomalies, the Rat Man losing power, or higher beings stepping in. Afterwards, large rat swarms spread, attacking animals and farms before retreating. These swarms may act as the Rat Man’s eyes and ears, serving the Rat King. In the end, they vanish into deeper tunnels, showing his reach below cities.

Conclusion

The Rat Man is both predator and mental plague, breaking minds and towns while spreading worship. If it truly serves the Rat King, today’s cults may be only the start of something larger. Thus, watchfulness and new methods are vital.

Possible Emissary Role

There is a chance the Rat Man is just one messenger of the Rat King. If the Rat King has many servants, the Rat Manmay only be the visible part of a hidden empire. Until containment is secure, constant study and strict control of cults is required.

Final Thoughts

The 13HRP – 0006 – Rat Man shows how fragile human order is. Rising from sewers and ruins, it proves decay is always near. Therefore, if the Rat Man and the Rat King spread further, cities may fall into a rat-ruled maze where humans are only pests. Some thinkers say this may not only mean the end of humanity, but also the rise of a new rat-human world under the Rat King’s rule.
