Card Trivia

 This monster is based on the Chinese zodiac sign of the Rat.
This monster's first effect is likely a reference to the Rat's experience in The Great Race (an origin story of the Chinese zodiac), where it pushed the Cat into the water.
This card's Japanese name seems to be a portmanteau between ラット (pet rat or laboratory rat) and モルモット (guinea pig), both rodents largely raised as experimental animals. Its English name is a portmanteau of rat and rapier.
Considering this monster's knight-like appearance, this card's name could also be a reference to the knight Mordred from King Arthur's legends.
This monster appears in the artworks of Zoodiac Combo and Dragonic Diagram.
This monster's rapier is also wielded by Metaltron XII, the True Dracombatant.
This card's second effect cannot currently be used at all in an official Duel as a result of it being Limited.
