I think it´s a reference to Monkey Island 2 where you have to put a rat in the soup to fire the cook.

Being raised with spanish and latin american stories and tales, I found out that , this item might be familiar to a lot of spanish speaking people, since it's a reference to the continuation of the tale named: La Ratita Presumida(The Vain Little Mouse).

It's about a Vain Rat that goes around looking for items to enchance her beauty and find a husband, at the end of the tale she marries El Raton Perez(Spanish character that plays the same role as the Tooth Fairy does for U.S.), there is a second part of the plot though, El Raton Perez wanting to get the sweet part of the onion in the broth that the Vain Rat was cooking, falls down into the cauldron and dies, in some alternative endings, he doesnt die.

But, after further investigation, it turns out that the tale has been around for a lot of time, and in a lot of cultures, and apparently has it's roots in India.

Remy (in Ratatouille) does not fall in the soup, so I guess it's not a reference to that movie...

Possibly a reference to Roald Dahl's book/film "The witches" - The boy that is transformed into a mouse has to drop the formula into the soup of which the witches are having for dinner. He falls in, miraculously survives, leaving the bottle behind.

Being french, the reference directly refered to the very known franco-belgian comic "Asterix" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterix ). (50 years of publication / translated in more than 100 languages, etc)

The main characters are Asterix and Obelix, who protect their village against Cesar's legion using a magic potion prepared in a caldron by a wise druid.
Drinking the magic potion result in a temporary huge increase strength. Except that for Obelix (the big guy), he doesn't need it anymore. As a kid, he felt into the caldron full of magic potion while the druid was gone. When he returned, Obelix drank it all resulting in a permanent strength.

So for him, looks like falling in the soup pot did work out well.

Fished this up today.

This is mostly likely a reference to the Tale of Despereaux.
If not, Remy from Ratatouille.

Each time I fish this up instead of the Giant Sewer Rat, I die a little inside. *sad face*

Commento di violetta

Pity I can't resurrect this poor rat. Guess I better keep fishing for my pet... or hire a swimming instructor for them

Commento di Vaxl

I figure it's just because rats jump in bowls of soup because there's food in the bowl. Also, Wrath came out after Tale of Desperaux. Tale of Desperaux was published in 2003, which is not only before Wrath but also World of Warcraft.
