Jerry the Rat is a character for which dialogue appears in the usecode of Ultima Underworld II, although he does not appear in the game itself.

Description[edit]

Not much is known about who or what Jerry the Rat was intended to be, although he appears to have been some manner of in-joke by the programmers, possibly meant as a parodic tribute to Sherry the Mouse. From what scant dialogue is available for him, he appears to have been located in Killorn Keep, and would have commented on Relk's death before delivering a spiteful monologue about his role as an artist.[1]

Lore[edit]

"Look here, you pointless piece of Garbage, I can't believe you would every be so bleeding useless as to bother asking me to do this, i mean, seriously, I'm an Artist, i cant just do this, It hurts, you understand me, it HURTS... i cant just live in thrall to your petty demands and needs, what about me, the rat. Think about it Everyone comes up and says... oh look, jerry the fucking rat, what a bore. But from where i crawl, i think, this really sucks, what a pain, all these pointless people coming by and wasting my time. If i had my way, i'd kill Lord British, buy EA, sell them off to get an airplane, fly to havana and crash it into a cheap mexican food place so i could have a few good tacos before it all ends, ya know."
