The rat brothers, but in my style! While the designs are simplified in game, I love exploring character designs and details. [Originally posted on my Cult of the Lamb sideblog.](https://agiftfrombelow.tumblr.com/) Headcanons that I have for them: * Akin to the Lamb, Ratau was given immortality. If not for a short time. Thus to why he is appears physically younger. However, after relinquishing the power of the Crown, his aging appears to be catching up to him. * Reminiscent strength remains in Ratau, such as his pupils now being slit like a cats. He can still see well in the dark. * Ratau acquired his limp from the explosive spewing-toads of Anura. * With the brothers foreheads bearing the same mark and scars, they did work side by side for the One Who Waits for a time. Ratoo working as the muscle, while Ratau oversaw the Cult. * Ratoo was scarred by the One Who Waits after a failing of Ratau, using his threatened life as a bargaining chip. * It's likely after such an encounter, Ratoo had left the Temple and fled to the seas. * Ratau would eventually receive the same scars as his brother, a "departing gift" from The One Who Waits. * Ratoo, once knew Plimbo and boarded his ship.Once Ratoo's heart is returned to him, he and Plimbo drink often in the Smugglers Sanctuary, swapping stories of days of old.
