At the auction, Al Harrington mentions an 'undulating rat king'. Reputedly rats can get the tips of their tails tangled or glued together such that they have to move as a single mass. Literature from the 1500s mentions rat kings and several preserved examples are in museums. Some fantasy literature attributes great and terrible powers to rat kings. However some scholars suspect that, in ages past, professional rat catchers made the rat kings to freak people out.
The title is a reference to the game show of the same name.
