Sadly, Skreeworld has to report that an 'incomer' shot the largest rat in Frome, allegedly a trophy hunter. The King, a rat whos' tail, alone stretched a good 4 feet in length was shot this week. Reports are murky though local rat hunters say a land owner sold a sighting of the King who had strayed on to land he rarely strayed in to rang a japanese airifle enthusiast who shot his Majesty. Local pest control air gun enthusiasts had preserved the King for his genes, often prefering to photograph the noble beast.
The King, reportedly was hit by over 40 pellets as he struggled toward the river Frome where he swam off wounded. Some say, on dark wind swept nights, he has been seen. In shadow, perhaps his ghost can be heard squeeling his anger at the coward who dared try murder the noble beast.
Meanwhile, the emporer turns out to be any red deer stag of 14 or more point antlers. The one alleged to have been shot on Exmoor was in decline, down to 16, less than previous years. Some have 30. His ghost, too stalks the moor, tearful clutching Excalibur in his jaws.
