The Rat King is a quest with an eponymous boss. Defeating this boss will unlock the Rat Quest Pet. The quest scroll can be purchased any time from the Quest Shop for 4 gems.
The Rat King's HP (2.5) makes this a short quest and its strength multiplier (1200) make this a very difficult quest. Without using Warrior or Mage boss damaging skills, a four-person party can typically finish this quest in less than a week. The very high difficulty means missed Dailies will cause higher amounts of damage to the group; having a Healer in the party is highly recommended.
Description
Garbage! Massive piles of unchecked dailies are lying all across Habitica. The problem has become so serious that hordes of rats are now seen everywhere. You notice @Pandah petting one of the beasts lovingly. She explains that rats are gentle creatures that feed on unchecked dailies. The real problem is that the dailies have fallen into the sewer, creating a dangerous pit that must be cleared. As you descend into the sewers, a massive rat, with blood red eyes and mangled yellow teeth, attacks you, defending its horde. Will you cower in fear or face the fabled Rat King?
Objective(s)
Defeat the The Rat King.
On Completion
Your final strike saps the gargantuan rat's strength, his eyes fading to a dull grey. The beast splits into many tiny rats, which scurry off in fright. You notice @Pandah standing behind you, looking at the once mighty creature. She explains that the citizens of Habitica have been inspiried by your courage and are quickly completing all their unchecked dailies. She warns you that we must be vigilant, for should we let out down our guard, the Rat King will return. As payment, @Pandah offers you several rat eggs. Noticing your uneasy expression, she smiles, "They make wonderful pets."
