Rat Strangers

The Rat Strangers are a trio of silent characters who Shadow Jazz encounter in the hallways during Ego Death. They greet Shadow in one way or another, staring ominously or raising a glass. The third Rat Stranger appears to be unaware of Shadow Jazz's approach until it is too late, being caught with his mask up and having a smoke break- quickly fumbling to become spooky again. He is heard making stereotypical ghost noises off camera as Shadow Jazz leaves, unaffected.


Appearance

The Rat Strangers appear as regular people, dressed formally with golden rat masks on.


Relationships
