Ratnician

Ratnicians are mutated Rats under the employment of Doctor Neo Cortex mutated by Mojo. They are the main enemies in Crash of the Titans in the first world of the game. Besides trying to kill Crash, they also talk about how tasty he is, and in some occasions try to kill and eat him. After the events of Crash of the Titans, they have been abandoned by Cortex, although some are still working for Cortex.



Crash of the Titans
Ratnicians are first seen in Episode 1﻿: A New Hop, where they are talking in a cave near Crash's home, then they are seen in a Group after apparently being transported from the Doominator in Rocket-like vehicles.

Later on, a large amount attempt to move Aku-Aku who is trapped in a Cage. A group of three is killed by a Spike

who uses Spike's Suprise on them, then later, they attack Crash in large Groups. Through the following three Levels, they attack Crash in small and large Groups.

Crash: Mind Over Mutant
After the events of the previous Game, they have been abandoned by Cortex and have become feral. They are first seen in a pack of three again near Crash's home. They now work for N. Gin who is also on Wumpa Island, who orders a massive pack of them to attack Crash, and later on another large pack attacks Crash by the order of N. Gin at his Observatory. According to some Cutscenes, a few are still working for Cortex, as shown in the NV commercial, where they sit in the stands being threatened by Stenches to clap and read cards to guess the Price of the NV, however, one Ratnician claims his card is blank and is shot by a Stench. Also in the Cutscene where N. Brio is introduced there are Ratnicians along with Znus, Cortex also tosses a Water Balloon at one of the Ratnicians. The Ratnicians can be seen as enemies in the Wasteland, the Frozen Coast, and several Battle arenas.

Personality
The Ratnicians are geniuses and throw out Scientifical terms at a few points, but all the time they are bent on serving their current Masters, but they mostly are bent on killing Crash and eating him and satisfying their Hunger. They also dislike Wumpa Fruits and Coconuts. When they are left on Wumpa Island, they go crazy after spending a Year on it, shown when a pack of them near N. Gin's Observatory are laughing crazily and bonking eachother on the head and whacking eachother with Coconuts, and most of the time, and they do not take fighting Crash seriously.
