* MisplacedRetribution: After the destruction of the Boiler Room on Day 29, the Janitor decides to capture a random rat in a cage and start screaming at them. Unfortunately for him, Scott was part of the group rescuing Apo from the Van and not the group that caused the explosion, and opposed the plan when he heard it. Even Mrs. Icraga, the Janitor's boss, thinks he's being too high-strung about his job and orders for him to go on paid leave, though it's unlikely she knew the full truth of the rats.

*** Additionally, the termites pass their crown between each other, allegedly because their late grandfather never left a line of succession for it; needless to say, this is ''not'' how termite "queens" function -- or any insect colonies, for that matter.

!!Guests
[[folder:General]]
The guests are non-rat creatures portrayed by fellow creators from the broader Minecraft content creator community. They make one-off appearances in livestreams and episodes. They each have one canon life, with [=TommyInnit=] and Sneegsnag being the only exceptions, having three due to dying during their guest appearances.
----
* TheCameo: Each of the guests are portrayed by other content creators in one-off or voice-only appearances.
* QuestGiver: Most of the guests require the rats to help them complete some form of quest:
** Ponk: Fetch them a painting, a cushion, and a fresh apple, give them a tour of the Mansion, then smuggle them out.
** Tommy: Trade with him for various items, including in an auction.
** Seapeekay/The Fox: Wish him a happy birthday and give him presents, then complete a RiddleMeThis challenge.
** The Magical Squid:
*** Day 39: Dance for him and return to party with him at a later date.
*** Day 59: Go through his maze and start a band to play a good song for him.
** The Termites: Find them a home away from the Rattic.
** Aimsey and Guqqie: Get them food, find/make them a home for the winter, and help Guqqie make a gift to give to Aimsey.
** Sneeg is a DoubleSubversion, being a dimensionally-displaced visitor, whom the rats determine if he can and should stay in the Mansion with them, but ultimately decide he's [[FishOutOfWater unsuited]] for Mansion life. [[spoiler:However, by the time they come to this conclusion, the CrackInTheSky from which he came from has disappeared, causing the rats to have to reopen the portal in the fountain.]]
** Phil and Kara: Help them heal their wings, [[spoiler:and if not, find Kara a new home.]]
** Ghost of Christmas Past: Help Elliot Scrooge obtain the next item for his advent calendar, golden horse armour.
** Ghost of Christmas Present: Recover the vandalized facial pieces of the Woody doll in the Disney store.
** Ghost of Christmas Future: [[spoiler:Shut down the space cats' [[DoomsdayDevice "Rat Obliterator 3000 [=V3.7=]" machine]] to stop them from blowing up the Earth.]]
** Billzo: [[spoiler:Help him escape from the humans who are out to kill him.]]

Ponk dug his way into the Pantry in search of food, but was trapped there as the tunnel eventually collapsed in on itself.

* CompensatingForSomething: Martyn accuses them of this after seeing their true height, which is about twice as tall as some of the taller rats.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Ponk's tunnel into the Pantry is eventually re-opened by the rats, and has since been used as an extra entrance/exit in and out of the Mansion.

->'''IGN:''' [=TommyInnit=]\\
'''Preferred name:''' Tommy\\
'''Personal pronouns:''' He/Him\\
'''Species:''' Unknown "rat-like animal with wings"
Tommy alleges to be the head of his family's trading commune, flying into the Mansion through a window and stopping by to trade with the rat residents on Day 23. Naturally, being Tommy, he was first found by most of the rats trapped in a cage by the humans in the Lounge.\\
\\
Should he choose to return, Tommy has one life left. He first died after attacking a cat, then "drowned" after flying away from the Mansion into the world border.
----
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: As exemplified by his first canon death:
-->'''Tommy:''' Get the hell outta here, idiot! ''(punches a cat lurking at the foot of the sofa everyone's under)''\\
'''[=TommyInnit=] was slain by Cat'''
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first rat to encounter Tommy is Owen, who watches Tommy walk directly up to the Butler and getting caught instantly, from which it's very evident that Tommy is ''very'' [[LeeroyJenkins reckless]].
* TheGhost: Related; after being killed by a cat for attacking it on sight, Tommy can be heard calling for Music/{{Wilbur|Soot}}, who never appears in the series.
* HotBlooded: Tommy has a ''very'' fiery temperament; his first reaction to cats is to punch them, and he tries to confront and aggravate every human he sees, resulting in him getting captured repeatedly throughout the livestream he appears in. It's also because he dies so early on in his guest appearance that he is granted three lives in total like the rats, instead of just one life like the other guests.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: Tommy insists on trying out the cobwebbed parkour secret passageway in the walls, which is notoriously difficult even for the rats who've been living in the Mansion for the past few weeks. Cue this:
-->'''Owen:''' Alright, here you go, if you can get to the other side of this using double-jumps, then you're truly a […] parkour god.\\
'''Tommy:''' Easy. ''(overshoots at the first platform and falls off)''
* TravelingSalesman: He claims himself to be one, getting around by flying. He later holds an auction in the Attic with the rats for several series of items:
** An orange[[note]]a player head in-game[[/note]] to Apo, in exchange for an Ender pearl.
** His remaining "sons" or [[WebVideo/EmpiresSMP Sheriff toys]] to El, in exchange for a heart made from pink wool bits.
** A burger and a cake[[note]]player heads in-game[[/note]] to Oli, in exchange for [[ToiletHumour egestion]] at a location of his choosing.
** A bottle cap to Will[[note]]later converted from a shield into a hat[[/note]], in exchange for two Potions of Weakness they found in the humans' bar on Day 2.
** Seven pieces of carpet to Owen[[note]]to fix the humans' carpets[[/note]], in exchange for a pirate hook from the Grandmother's costume for the Halloween event.

->'''IGN:''' Seapeekay\\
'''Preferred name:''' N/A\\
'''Personal pronouns:''' He/Him\\
'''Species:''' Fox
The Eldest Daughter's "feral friend", who lives in a den under a large spruce tree in the forest, past the wheat fields. The rats must seek him out in search of the Shining Star, which can help El and Will revert back to their true rat forms after an accidental ForcedTransformation into cats on Day 39.
----
* CollectorOfTheStrange: He's an avid collector of various items, like mysterious potions, diamonds, and the Shining Star needed to break the cat-transformation potion effects.
* ForgottenBirthday: He has spent the past 15 years in the woods alone and is bitter about no one ever visiting him to wish him a happy birthday or give him a present, even though none of the rats were aware of his presence until their first meeting on Day 39.
* {{Gaslighting}}: On Day 39, in order to obtain the Shining Star from Seapeekay the Fox, Will's group decide to "ratlight" him by pretending they visit him every year to celebrate his birthday, as opposed to this being their first meeting. To ''really'' sell it, Owen pretends to be his "fun-loving uncle" while wearing a fox head-mask, Oliver pretends to be a raccoon who's his "long-lost cousin twice removed", and Scott claims that the Fox gives out the Shining Star every year as a party favour. Seapeekay sees through it instantly, but the rats manage to sweet-talk him into giving them the Shining Star anyway through a RiddleMeThis challenge.
* RageBreakingPoint: After El's group of rats place down a cake to exchange for the Shining Star, he breaks out into an angry rant about how everyone's afraid of him and no one drops by to say hello, and the rats only seek him out when they need something from him, and then go out to rifle through his belongings and refuse to complement the decor in his den. He proceeds to tell everyone to GetOut or he's going to commit murder. The rats have to call in Will's group to deal with the situation… via copious amounts of attempted {{gaslighting}}.
* RiddleMeThis: Challenges Will's group to answer "these riddles three" to obtain the Shining Star as the group's last resort.

[[folder:The Magical Squid]]
->'''IGN:''' ???\\
'''Preferred name:''' N/A\\
'''Personal pronouns:''' ???\\
'''Species:''' Glow squid
The "Glowing Traveller", who lives in a cavern beyond the Mansion's front doors, accessible from the river. The rats must seek him out in search of the Glitter Sac, which can help El and Will revert back to their true rat forms after an accidental ForcedTransformation into cats on Day 39.\\
\\
On Day 59, the Magical Squid is summoned by the rats to obtain [[spoiler:phantom membranes]] in order to heal the crow guests' wings so they can fly away again.
----
* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: Has a near-comical high-pitched voice who throws any rats (in cat form or otherwise) who are unable to reach his absurdly high standards off the dance floor and out of his cave.
* DancingIsSeriousBusiness: In his debut appearance, he requires the rats to dance well enough to his standards to obtain a Glitter Sac from him.
* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler:After having the rats and crows go through his maze]], the Magical Squid has them all start a band with him and make a song with note-blocks to get the [[spoiler:phantom membranes]] they need. The twist?
-->'''Magical Squid:''' If I don't like song, you all die!
* ItsAllAboutMe: The Magical Squid's summoning ritual requires the rats to build a summoning circle of candles, to stand on the candles, and spin around calling upon "the Magical Squiiiiiiiid", as he calls himself and which he likes. As Phil puts it, he's quite full of himself for this.
* TheMaze: He sends the rats and the crows through a colourful maze to obtain [[spoiler:phantom membranes]] from him… which several of the rats are [[WebVideo/OutsidersSMP quite displeased about]].
* PlatonicCoParenting: Is the original parent of Babamari, Oliver's glow squid child and whom he seems to be on good terms with.
* ProfanityPolice: Threatens to kick Krow out of his maze if it curses [[IsThisThingStillOn again]], an option which Krow would [[WebVideo/OutsidersSMP very much prefer]].
* StuffBlowingUp: [[spoiler:After deeming the rats' second song to obtain a second phantom membrane not good enough, the Magical Squid yells for everyone to GetOut and blows up a piece of TNT in the middle of the dance floor in an attempt to kill the stragglers, i.e. Martyn (who survives the blast)… and drops a ''second'' piece when the rats rush back to check if Martyn is okay.]]
* TerrestrialSeaLife: Despite being a glow squid, he can linger out of water for some periods of time.

'''Species:''' Termite
Three termite siblings who burrowed their way into the Attic walls and have been living there their entire lives, i.e. for a week at most. Their grandfather told them before he passed away that they were destined to own the Mansion, so they are quite angry about how the rats "destroyed [their] house". Thus, the rats' mission on Day 42 is to relocate them to live elsewhere so that the humans don't find out and call an exterminator on everyone.
----
* TheBait: Throughout the termites' guest appearance, Acho and the other rats suggest using them as bait for the humans to capture in cages whenever the rats are about to get in trouble.
* DudeNotFunny: In-universe; the termites are not amused when some of the rats start making jokes about their short lifespans and how they'd likely be dead by the next week.
-->'''Nuke:''' I will live out of spite, do not test me.
* FourthDateMarriage: Water somehow manages to get engaged to Martyn within less than an hour into her guest appearance in the series.
-->'''Nuke:''' We've been outside– We've been out of our house for about ten minutes now and you're engaged to a rat?!
* HeightAngst: Kyle takes offense to any time he's insinuated to be small, and insists that he's average.
* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: The rats' plan to relocate the termites has an element of this, deliberately picking out spots that are isolated enough for the rats to trap them in to die and be forgotten, or dangerous enough for the termites to be killed in.
* ParentalFavoritism: The termites' late father reportedly favoured Kyle over Nuke, resulting in their drastically different full names -- "Kyle F. Mite" and "Nuke King", respectively. Nothing has been confirmed about what their father thinks of Water, though.
* PunnyName: Nuke says that whenever he's wearing the familial crown, he's the "Nuke King".
* SheIsTheKing: Water uses the 'King' title like her brothers.
* SiblingsShareTheThrone: The termites pass their kingdom's crown between each other to show who holds the monarchial authority at the time, but all three of them appear to share power quite equally and essentially pass over the crown whenever they don't want to answer a certain question. %%However, in reality, there's a secret SuccessionCrisis going on as the three siblings are also ''squabbling'' over who gets to be the ultimate monarch.
* SuccessionCrisis: Their late grandfather never gave the termites a line of succession to the throne, so the three have settled with SiblingsShareTheThrone; however, comments have been made suggesting one is brewing beneath the surface.
* TermiteTrouble: Referenced; despite only having only very short lifespans, the termite family living in the Attic's walls manage to devour a chunk of the wall to make themselves at home, and Owen rebukes Will's idea of having them live under the big table in the Library, citing that the termites would possibly consume the wooden floors so quickly that the floor giving out under the table would be a tell-tale sign of their presence for the humans.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Water is the only one of the termite siblings who is actively friendly to the rats and doesn't insult them.

Aimsey and Guqqie are a pair of rabbits who used to live with Seapeekay and answered his riddles, but in the midst of a wolf infestation in the forest, the two were left homeless and came to the Mansion on Day 51 to seek shelter for the winter. Found huddling for warmth under Scott's scarecrow in the former wheat fields, the rats' mission is to find or make them a new home to settle in.
----
* BetaCouple: The two rabbits, having known each other for a long time already, get together with much sweetness and fairly little drama. Martyn remarks that the relationship "goes better than Eloise and Bek".
* CutenessProximity: Guqqie has this to say about the rats:
-->'''Guqqie:''' You're all so small and cute; I want to put you all in my pocket. You're babas.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Aimsey writes off Guqqie's at-times insensitivity as [[NoSocialSkills over-friendliness]] and this.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: In Guqqie's words, they'll eat anything but carrots.
* InterspeciesRomance: Aimsey makes repeated attempts to jokingly flirt with the human women of the Mansion, though it's clear that their heart belongs to Guqqie.
* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:In an ''WebVideo/AreaUnknownSMP'' stream, AU!Guqqie confirms that they both were eaten by wolves sometime after meeting the rats.]]
* NoSocialSkills: While introducing themselves to the rats, one of the first things that comes out of Guqqie's mouth is to say their leporid ears and tails are superior to those of the rats; she later also asks why Acho is purple without provokation, to nearly everyone else's dismay.
-->'''Scott:''' You can't just ask people why they're purple!
* RelationshipUpgrade: Aimsey and Guqqie have initially known each other for a long time and lived together, but it takes until after they meet the rats for them to get together.
* TheScream: Aimsey is very prone to screaming loudly in panic whenever one of the humans trap them in a cage or chases them.
* StockAnimalDiet: Subverted with Guqqie; Acho tries to feed them and Aimsey carrots because he read that rabbits like them, but Guqqie [[DoesNotLikeSpam protests this]] and points out not everything read in books is accurate.

->'''IGN:''' Sneegsnag\\
'''Preferred name:''' Sneeg\\
'''Personal pronouns:''' He/Him\\
'''Species:''' Unknown (Rats); Inchling (home world)
Sneeg is a DimensionalTraveler who arrived in the Rats world via a CrackInTheSky on Day 57. Wandering in search of a new home after everyone seemingly disappeared overnight from the initial Origins world, he saw a shining light, Riptide-tridented towards it, and fell through the portal. He is enthusiastic about hanging out with some friends of a similar size to him for once, even if some of them think he's an alien, a bug, or a fairy (by Bek), and eventually conclude he's a moth.\\
\\
Should he choose to return, Sneeg has one canon life left. He was mauled by cats twice throughout his visit.
----
* CharacterOverlap: Sneeg is a DimensionalTraveler who is native to the ''WebVideo/OriginsSMP''.
* DimensionalTraveler: Arrived at the Mansion through a CrackInTheSky above the Garden's now-frozen fountain, having sat around in nothingness before falling through the portal. As Martyn questions him about this during his stay, though, Sneeg is ''not'' from the datastream.
* FallingIntoThePlot: Is first introduced falling out of a CrackInTheSky and onto the fountain in the Garden.
* FictionalDisability: Despite being a WingedHumanoid, Sneeg cannot fly unless he uses his Riptide "fork". {{Enforced|Trope}} as it's a Minecraft skin.
* FishOutOfWater: Beyond the YourMagicsNoGoodHere, during his day-long stay, Sneeg has to get used to "human-sized" people being unfriendly to him (as opposed to mostly being his friends like in ''Origins''), the Chisel and Bits mod (in which the rats can build miniature, rat-sized builds), and that YourMagicsNoGoodHere.
* InnocentAliens: Sneeg is considered to be an alien in the Rats world by some of its inhabitants, not resembling any animal[[note]](although with some moth-like traits like having antennae and a fondness for lantern-light)[[/note]]. That being said, he's nothing but perfectly amiable throughout his guest appearance, as long as no one tries to take his trident from him.
* InterspeciesRomance: To some extent; he makes several comments throughout his guest appearance about Martyn, a human trapped in a rat's body, attractive.
* NotQuiteFlight: Owns a trident (or "fork") enchanted with Riptide, which effectively allows him to achieve temporary flight in the snowy weather.
* ShoutOut: His skin is inspired by Lancer, a character from ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}''.
* YourMagicsNoGoodHere: In his home world, Sneeg can climb up walls directly as part of his Inchling powers; in the ''Rats'' world, he loses access to this power and has to rely on {{Double Jump}}s like the rats, which he describes as being similar to learning to walk again.

Two crows who were found to be trapped in the chimney on Day 59, and are then rescued by the rats. They were launched into the structure after a lightning strike, before which Phil was looking for his equally dimensionally-displaced friends (including Sneeg) and Kara was simply living and flying alone in search of a new home.
----
* CharacterOverlap: Philza is a DimensionalTraveler who is native to the ''WebVideo/OriginsSMP''. A lightning strike may or may not have been involved in the dimension travel.
* DimensionalTraveler: Phil recalls flying through the realms in search of his friends, everything going black, him landing in a snowy environment, and a lightning strike which caused him and Kara to meet and their wings to break.
* FoulWaterfowl: The swans who raised Kara certainly didn't show a lot of love to her in her childhood, and when Kara swipes at Phil for [[spoiler:taking the one phantom membrane they have managed to obtain for himself]], it's attributed to her swan upbringing.
* InterspeciesAdoption: Kara the crow was raised by swans, but ran away before her debut in the ''Rats'' storyline. [[spoiler:At the end of her guest appearance, she's taken in by Alexandra until she's healed at the rats' request.]]
* InterspeciesRomance: {{Implied|Trope}}. Phil has often been caught looking wistfully at the human Mrs. Icraga through a spyglass. It's much more understandable on a meta level, considering Mrs. Icraga is voiced by his real-life wife.
* TheRunaway: Being an orphan raised by swans and unable to live up to their expectations due to InterspeciesAdoption, Kara took flight from her initial home and eventually ended up at the Mansion during the lightning storm.
* TheSpock: Being out of the loop for most of the series, Phil is reluctant to partake in the supernatural shenanigans the rats increasingly start to get into during his guest appearance, only doing so because it can fix his wings and allow him to leave and be with his friends again.
-->'''Phil:''' I fail to see how squeeing gets a squid to show up here.
* StuckInAChimney: The two crows are first introduced to be in such a position, surrounded by a burning fire. The rats have to gather rope to get them out, and even then, climbing ''up'' to the chimney to get down is a chore in itself, several of the rats themselves struggle with climbing ''out'' after the rescue, and Martyn straight-up burns to death in the process.

* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Billzo alleges to be from a mansion that he owns and came to the Mansion where the rats reside in search of property. However, [[spoiler:his aforementioned "backstory" is a complete lie to hide his DarkAndTroubledPast.]]
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: His horns, or his enchanted Knockback stick in-game, are used to send rats ''flying'' if they're hit, and he'll headbutt anyone in the vicinity whenever he feels insulted, [[HairTriggerTemper for whatever reason]].
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: He feels the need to clarify that the mansion he allegedly owned is "definitely real" and "definitely ten thousand square feet tall".

!Humans
[[folder:The Humans in General]]
[=NPCs=] who live and/or work in the Mansion, and the main antagonists of the series. They can capture the rats and imprison them in cages located throughout the Mansion.
----
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: ZigZaggingTrope. Most of the rats refer to the humans by their titles or jobs, but the humans themselves are usually among name-basis on each other.
* PetTheDog: While they are usually perfectly fine with capturing the rats, several of the humans occasionally show kindness to them. For example, Mrs. Icraga [[spoiler:lets Scott go after his capture by the Janitor]], and the Eldest Daughter has helped the mischief of rats by fixing some of their magical mishaps.
* QuestGiver: Most of the humans function as this, openly or subtly giving the rats various quests to complete, like fetching them certain items or foodstuffs. The rats comply in an effort to not make their presence noticeable to the humans so they won't get kicked out of the house.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Most of the Icraga household treat the rats this way. When the Maid and the Mother find half the mischief of rats gathering on the library table having a CourtroomEpisode, their reaction is to literally ''walk away''. The Janitor is the only one who considers the rats an active threat to the Mansion, while the Eldest Daughter is a PunchClockVillain who doesn't mind them personally as long as they don't barge into her business, and the Grandmother is [[TokenGoodTeammate all-round friendly to them]].
* VillainyFreeVillain: The humans are by all means reasonable to want rats out of the house -- especially the Janitor, who [[spoiler:knows the rats are sentient and can do great damage if they want to]]. However, since the story is told from the perspective of the rats, these antagonistic figures are still unpleasant to be around, and the Janitor in particular is presented as overzealous and ''terrifying'', even to the Icraga children. Additionally, the most the Janitor does wrong from a human perspective [[spoiler:before the finale]] is giving the cats extra treats and against the Chef's advice.

!!!'''The Icraga Family'''

[[folder:General]]
The family residing in the Mansion. The Eldest Daughter (Alexandra) and the Son (Izan) were the only two present at home at the start of the series; the Mother (Idris), Grandmother (Ramona), and Youngest Daughter (Aura) eventually come home from the family holiday to "the capital", while the Father (Miguel) is fighting on the eastern front of an unknown war.
----
* TokenGoodTeammate: The Grandmother is the only member of the household who doesn't trap the rats in cages and is on good terms with them. {{Downplayed|Trope}} with the Eldest Daughter, who is a PunchClockVillain who ''does'' trap them as an NPC, but is willing to help them whenever she plays an active role in the story.
* UnnamedParent: {{Subverted|Trope}}. The Icraga parents are only known by their surname for much of the series, but their given names are revealed in conversation during the finale.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Mother -- Idris Icraga]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Trixtin
----
* ProperLady: Mrs. Icraga is presented as this, having trained to be this in her youth. In adulthood, she is a firm mother and mistress of the house, wears a red ribbon-bow in her hair, and while antagonistic to the rat protagonists, has been known to PetTheDog.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Father -- Miguel Icaga]]
->'''Voiced by:''' [=SmallishBeans=]
----
* TheGhost: The Father has only ever been mentioned in the series, being at war and only keeping in contact with his family through letters home. [[spoiler:Day 64 reveals that he's coming home from the war late for the holidays, and [[LastEpisodeNewCharacter makes his debut appearance in the finale on Day 85]].]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Eldest Daughter -- Alexandra "Alex" Icraga]]
->'''Voiced by:''' [=GeminiTay=]
----
* BoardingSchool: The Twitter updates imply that Alexandra attends either one such school or a university, and is home for the holidays for her appearances throughout the series.
* CuteWitch: Alexandra, a PerkyGoth who brews potions and studies magic and technology.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Eldest Daughter is [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep referred to as such in the capture messages]], and is near-ubiquitously called "the goth girl" or the "witch lady" by the rats; her actual name is referred to only in quest-books and supplementary material.
* PerkyGoth: Alexandra is described to be a goth girl who dresses in dark clothing, and is willing to help fix El and Will's ForcedTransformation into cats. She also [[spoiler:takes in the rats' new crow friend Kara until her wings can be healed]], and is generally the nicest of the humans as a PunchClockVillain (or at least the nicest behind the Grandmother).
* PunchClockVillain: Alexandra is on relatively good terms with the rats compared with the other humans, being willing to fix any magic-related incidents caused by them. While she ''does'' capture and trap the rats as an NPC, she is otherwise content to let the rats run around the Mansion as long as they don't mess with her stuff, and even goes out of her way to teach them how to safely brew a Potion of Healing to prevent further deaths.
-->'''Eldest Daughter:''' I mean it this time, guys. Don't touch my stuff. It's hard enough convincing Mom not to put out more traps for you all as it is.

[[folder:The Youngest Daughter -- Aura Icraga]]
----
* PinkMeansFeminine: Aura's bedroom has a pink and white striped carpet and magenta bedspread.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Son -- Izan Icraga]]
----
* BrattyHalfPint: The son, Izan, takes delight in causing mayhem and angering the household staff, throws green beans across the room at meals, and is an annoying force of nature to the rats as well in his relentless pursuits. The Butler suspects -- and it's later confirmed in one of the Father's letters home -- that this is the reason he was left behind for the family holiday at the start of the series, under the belief "it will teach him some manners".
* MaliciousMisnaming: The Son, being a troublesome BrattyHalfPint, spells the Butler as "Buttler" in his writings.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Grandmother -- Ramona Icraga]]
----
* CoolOldLady: The Grandmother, Ramona, the oldest member of the Icraga household. While she tends to stay in her room all the time, she's the only human who is unambiguously friendly to the rats, and is more than willing to give her little friends gifts for the holidays.
* GrannyClassic: The Grandmother is a kindly old woman who wears warm sweaters and takes care of the rats of the household, calling them "little friends" and leaving gifts and allowances out for them, even making them Halloween costumes, giving them unique Christmas presents, [[spoiler:and bringing them supplies to keep them warm after they're ousted from the Mansion at the end of the finale]].
* ScatterbrainedSenior: {{Subverted|Trope}} A letter from the Maid around Day 80 reveals that the Butler and the Gardener think of the Grandmother as crazy for talking to herself, but she herself is skeptical that the Grandmother is as senile as she appears… which is indeed far from the truth.
[[/folder]]


!!!'''The Household Staff'''

[[folder:General]]
The humans working for the Icraga family. The unnamed Butler, the Chef (Cassandra), and the Maid (Haru) were the only two present at home at the start of the series; the Janitor and the Gardeners are later introduced on Day 19, to much concern from the rats.
----
* NoodleIncident: A note from the Chef to the Maid found on Day 3 alludes to one:
-->[[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain We do NOT reminisce]] about the tomato incident.
* OneHeadTaller: Day 64 reveals that the Chef is about half a head taller than the Maid.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Butler]]
----
* InSeriesNickname: Oli refers to the Butler as "Papa Caspacito", the name the other rats have been using to refer to the Father.
* OldRetainer: {{Implied|Trope}}; the Butler is a white-haired man who is angered when the Son stole a set of fine, valuable cutlery around Day 2, because he remembers when Mrs. Icraga used the set to eat while training to be a ProperLady, presumably in her youth and before she became a mother. The journal entry in which he chronicles this is also titled "Day 11426", suggesting that he's been working as part of the household for about 31.3 years.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Butler's true name remains unknown throughout the series, and has only been referred to by [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep his job title]] or a nickname.
* PetTheDog: The Butler allows Owen to help him fix up the destruction in the Lounge caused during Billzo's angry rampage on Day 62.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Chef -- Cassandra]]
----
* DudeWheresMyRespect: On Day 10, the Chef, Cassandra, writes about being frustrated about how she spent seven years at culinary school training for her job, only to be hired by a family that doesn't appreciate her cooking[[note]]with the family leaving the food to go cold, the Son throwing green beans across the room at meals, food disappearing at night, etc.[[/note]], and few of the other household staff respect her. She has considered quitting her job because of this and [[DrowningMySorrows drowning her sorrows]] in melon juice she doesn't have.[[note]]She couldn't do so with alcohol because the bar was closed until the Father came home.[[/note]] Apo finds this note and gets Bek and Scott to help him give her some presents and the melon juice she wanted, albeit with some jokes about how the rat protagonists are [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial definitely not responsible]] for the food disappearances and not part of Cassandra's causes for grief. The rats' gifts end up causing Cassandra to stay and keep working at the Mansion.
* ForgottenBirthday: In the Chef's note on Day 10, she writes about how no one except her coworker, the Maid, acknowledged her birthday the previous week.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Maid -- Haru]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Erinreyn
----
* TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:After finding out the rats are sentient and willing to help out the humans when need be, the Maid writes to set up a formal meeting between them on Day 82 in the Laundry Room; the two sides manage to come to a mutual understanding where she agrees to stop catching them, and says she's fine with them living in the Mansion as long as they're not being disruptive. Of course, [[HopeSpot this quickly becomes moot]] when the Father comes home from the war…]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Gardener -- Kamon]]
----
* ArtificialStupidity: The Gardener relentlessly pursues rats to the point he doesn't just [[spoiler:walk into the pond and sink like a rock]] chasing Jimmy on Day 19, but Jimmy is able to exploit this for long enough to [[spoiler:''drown and non-canonically kill'' him.]] He does so again on Day 57, where Martyn exploits this to lure him into walking into the Lounge's fireplace to burn.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Janitor -- Declan]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Declan[[note]]a member of the [=NoName=] staff[[/note]]
----
* CassandraTruth: The Janitor is one of the few humans who are aware [[spoiler:the rats are sentient beings]], and immediately figures out [[spoiler:the rats are behind the explosion of the Boiler Room]] on Day 29. The knowledge of [[spoiler:the rats' sentience]] only makes him ''more'' aggressive towards them.
* TheDreaded: Is regarded as this for his aggression and much higher rat-catching capability than the other human [=NPCs=], to the point several of the rats devise a plan to oust him from the Mansion altogether. [[spoiler:Him being called BackForTheFinale is met with a MassOhCrap by the entire rat population.]]
* DrinkingOnDuty: The Janitor spends much of Day 29 downing alcohol by the bottle in the Wine Cellar near the Boiler Room, so much that the rats mostly just watch him in dismay, while Will suggests [[spoiler:sabotaging the Wine Cellar as revenge]] because the man clearly seems to enjoy his booze. It's later {{exploited|Trope}} as [[spoiler:Will also later suggests using this as "[[AlcoholInducedIdiocy evidence]]" to {{frame|up}} the Janitor for destroying the boiler before being PutOnABus.]]
* EvilRedhead: An aggressive human NPC feared by the entire mischief of rats for being able to capture them as long as he can see them, unlike other humans who have to chase the rats themselves. He's also seen unleashing MisplacedRetribution on at least one occasion, and is one of the few humans with practically zero redeeming qualities.
* FieryRedhead: The Janitor is an [[EvilRedhead antagonistic figure]] with red hair and is particularly trigger-happy when it comes to catching rats, being more skilled at it than the other humans. [[spoiler:When he is called off leave and back to the Mansion by Mr. Icraga [[BackForTheFinale in the finale]], he goes on a rampage out for vengeance.]]
* HatedByAll: The Janitor is [[TheDreaded feared]] and hated by all of the rats for his aggression, [[spoiler:to the point Will, with help from Bek, devises the plan to blow up the Boiler Room to drive him out of the Mansion, in revenge for him kidnapping Apo.]]
* InSeriesNickname: Martyn refers to the Janitor as "Pan Man", as his net used to catch the rats resembles a large frying pan[[note]]which it is in-game -- a skillet from the Farmer's Delight mod[[/note]].
* MisplacedRetribution: After [[spoiler:the destruction of the Boiler Room]] on Day 29, the Janitor decides to [[spoiler:capture a random rat in a cage and start screaming at them]]. Unfortunately for him, [[spoiler:Scott was part of the group rescuing Apo from the Van and not the group that caused the explosion, and opposed the plan when he heard it]]. Even Mrs. Icraga, the Janitor's boss, thinks he's being too high-strung about his job and orders for him to go on paid leave, though it's unlikely she knew [[spoiler:the full truth of the rats]].
* PutOnABus: Mrs. Icraga orders for the Janitor to pack up and go on paid leave a mere ten days after his debut when [[spoiler:he captures and starts yelling at Scott, accusing him of blowing up the Boiler Room]]. [[spoiler:He comes BackForTheFinale when Mr. Icraga calls him ''off'' leave.]]
* {{Sadist}}: By the finale, [[spoiler:the Janitor]] takes absolute ''glee'' in hunting down the rats, going as far as to taunt them verbally while [[spoiler:smashing up the furniture all over the Mansion to get to them.]]
-->'''[[spoiler:The Janitor]]:''' I'm coming for! I'm coming for you!
* ViolentGlaswegian: The Janitor has a fairly thick Scottish accent and is TheDreaded who is willing to inflict MisplacedRetribution, and [[spoiler:when his beach holiday is "ruined" by the rats in the finale, his resultant rat-catching rampage ends up causing copious amounts of property damage, with him hacking tables and doors to pieces.]]

!!Other Antagonists
[[folder:Oy and Oreo]]
Two tuxedo black cats owned by the humans, first introduced on Day 10. While the humans typically cannot directly kill the rats, the cats ''can'' do direct damage to the point of death. [[spoiler:When one such incident occurs to Scott about midway through the series, he devises a revenge plan in an attempt to kill both cats, of which the results were [[{{Pun}} catastrophic]].]]
----
* CatsAreMean: The Mansion's two cats, dubbed 'Oy' and 'Oreo' by the rats, almost always chase and attack the rat protagonists on sight, but can be distracted with food and oddly enough, {{music|SoothesTheSavageBeast}}.
* InSeriesNickname:
** The cats' names given by the humans, if any, are unknown, so [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname the rats nickname them 'Oy' and 'Oreo']].
** During the Day 47 Cat-astrophe, Jimmy and Bek immediately start coming up with nicknames to refer to the magically tampered clone cats to tell them apart, like "Buttslider", "Baba", and "Chunk/Chonk" (for the big one)… not that it matters much from the unpredictability of the magic.
* InconsistentSpelling: One of the clone cats is nicknamed 'Chunk' by Jimmy due to its large size; however, since virtually all dialogue in the series is verbal, it's unconfirmed whether the nickname is spelt 'Chunk' or its more memetic form, 'Chonk'.
* MegaNeko: The clone cats can grow to be as tall as a human when sitting down, or be tall enough to reach humans' door handles at shoulder height.
-->'''Jimmy:''' ''(on a clone cat that grew to be as big as the Laundry Room)'' That is the ''ultimate'' Chunk, oh my gosh.
* MusicSoothesTheSavageBeast: While the cats are usually hostile to the rats, Jimmy has attempted, and in some cases managed, to distract them by singing to them, so that the other rats can escape safely. Among the tunes, the chorus of "Three Little Birds" by Music/Maroon5 seems to be the most effective. [[https://www.tumblr.com/ndn-craft/699143364932665344/jimmy-the-cat-whisperer?source=share They even dance along to the music sometimes!]]
* PintSizedPowerhouse: The clone cats can shrink to be as small as the termite guests, but can bite and scratch with all the strength of a normal-sized cat, dealing at much as 4 hearts of damage in one go.
-->'''Owen:''' You should ''not'' hit as hard as you do.
* RightHandAttackDog: The cats are this to the Janitor during his time in the Mansion, leading him to the rats' location should they track them down, and actively attacking the rats whenever they have a chance to.
* {{Sizeshifter}}: The clone cats can grow or shrink in size to their liking.
* StockAnimalDiet: The cats can be fed milk as a distraction, among other foodstuffs.

Feline astronauts who inhabit the International Cat Station on the Moon at an unspecified point in the future, who want to blow up the Earth and kill all rats.
----
* ArcVillain: Of the "future" section of the Jingle Jam Christmas event on Day 60.
* AdvancedTech2000: Their DoomsdayDevice is called the "Rat Obliterator '''3000''' [=V3.7=]".
* CatsAreMean: {{Exaggerated|Trope}}. Felines that intend to turn a Class 3 ApocalypseHow situation into a ''Class X'' one over AnimalJingoism? 'Mean' probably doesn't cut it [[OmnicidalManiac at this point]].
* DoomsdayDevice: The "Rat Obliterator 3000 [=V3.7=]", a laser contraption they plan to use to destroy the Earth and the rat world, or as Krow kindly puts it, it's "a genocide machine"; the rats' mission is to destroy it or otherwise render it unusable.
* FurryConfusion: {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d; the humanoid "space cats" are accompanied by regular cats that still walk on four legs. Martyn differentiates them by calling them the "new cats" and "old cats", respectively.
* StockAnimalDiet: They repeatedly proclaim their love for fish and fish-related foods, like fish stew. They even power their DoomsdayDevice with "fish juice".
* TimeBomb: The "Rat Obliterator 3000 [=V3.7=]" is set to destroy the Earth 20 minutes after its activation by the cats; {{justified|Trope}} with the cats gleefully announcing how little time the rats have left until their home world ''and their lives'' are to be "obliterated". The rats overload the Fish Juice Fueller in the first 5 minutes, spend the next 10 minutes electing the "Ruler of Dance" to shut down the core, and the last 5 minutes shutting down the satellite and the death laser.

!!Others
[[folder:Chat]]
[[FromBeyondTheFourthWall The audience and viewers of livestreams on the SMP]]. Most, if not all, of the POV characters can hear them and address them directly, and they primarily manifest as fleas on the server, barring a few exceptions. They can't interact with the world directly, but their influence is felt all throughout the server.
%%Please default to they/them for all chats because they embody many individuals.
----
* AudienceParticipation: To a smaller extent than many other [=SMPs=] for the most part, but creator-characters will occasionally ask their chat for input, or tell them off if they're getting a bit too rowdy.
* TheBlackDeath: Allegedly, Tubbo's stream chat fleas carry the bubonic plague.
* BloodKnight: Throughout Day 1, many of Acho's stream chat fleas call for him to kill various other rats for even mild transgressions.
* DeadpanSnarker: Are ''very'' prone to snarking about the situation at hand [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background]]… if they haven't descended into their own brand of chaos.
* DependingOnTheWriter: The chats are the in-universe manifestation of anywhere from dozens to thousands of individuals at once, so their characterization can be highly inconsistent. Even then, the chats ''in general'' may act differently depending on the perspective they are viewing.
* InformedAbility: Canonically, they can take on multiple forms, usually fleas but alternatively gears for Owen and mud clumps for Scott. However, due to the technical limitations of Minecraft, this does not carry over into the actual game.
* IntellectualAnimal: The flea-chats all have human-level intelligence; they are clever enough to understand and realize when they or their affiliated rat are in danger, and tend to be vocal about their opinions on the situation at hand.
* TheOmniscient: To a degree; as the audience and viewers, ''in theory'', the chats know everything that has been conveyed or presented in livestreams or episodes, and can freely access different perspectives to know what's going on with every POV character on the SMP. In practice, the chats only utilize this ability when they have to, such as in response to the creator-character consulting them for advice, and how much everyone actually knows depends on the individual.
* StudioAudience: A variant. While the audience isn't physically present and communicates through text instead of through audio, they're treated as if they're speaking out loud. Other than that, they fulfill pretty much the same role.
* TheVoice: Or, more accurately, the many, MANY voices.
* YouAreWorthHell: While trapped with Apo in the Janitor's Van on Day 29, Apo states that should the Van start driving away, he'll climb up to the top of the Van and count down from ten so the fleas can escape and find another rat companion. Practically all of the fleas ''refuse'', saying they'll stay with him to the very end and die with him if they have to… and vehemently hold on when he ''does'' start counting prematurely or bluff-threaten to steal hand sanitizer from the Van. [[DiscussedTrope Luckily, it never comes down to that]].
