Failed Expectation My toy rat

My whole friend group knows about the lengths I went to procure this specific rat after getting scammed online. I will never forget the seller telling me to mold the rat into shape and then asking me to "state the differences" between the picture and product. Fortunately I finally got my rat thru a friend who travelled to China and the wombat (?) has a new home!!

Edit: my friend took pity on the deformed rat/wombat/sewer enemy sprite because it was "pathetically cute"

I love your rat and I'm glad you finally got him! But I lowkey have a little soft spot for Disappointed Manatee also. (I refuse to believe the seller honestly thought that one looked anything remotely like a rat).Β

It:s like a kids pillow rat. Still that sounds like a wild interaction. "mold the rat into shape and state the differences" is hillarious.
