"Giant, rude, smelly rat man with impossibly huge nipples and genitals. A true modern gentleman."
-Anti Dev's Jim Rat gallery description[1]
Jim Rat is an anthro rat character created by the artist Anti Dev, first published in june 2016. His name is a wordplay on the phrase "gym rat", meaning one who spends a lot of time exercising in the gym.
He is huge in size, with a grey and extremely muscular body. He has a prominent hyper penis and is often represented with nipple piercings.
Anti Dev has explained that "The original idea for Jim was that he was the model/mascot for a line of sportswear designed for hyper-dicked men",[2] which he eventually illustrated in this magazine ad:
Trivia:
- Anti Dev has pondered "What if Jim Rat is worshiped by a small but loyal harem of twink lizard boys".[3]
- He later expanded on that, stating "My original idea was that Jim has like a harem of tiny lizards who worship his bulk so I may revisit that since little lizards crawling all over a giant rat man really amuses me."[4]
- Anti Dev once wrote a tweet-lenght story: "Jim Rat trips over his own dick and falls. Upon hitting the ground, 50 dildos burst out of his ass and scatter in all directions. He gets back up and keeps walking like nothing happened."[5]
- Anti Dev has contrasted him with the rest of his characters: "All my characters have bodies relatively resembling something that could actually exist in reality, and then Jim Rat is just over there with his baseball nipples and gorilla arms and dick as long as his whole body, just there whenever I need him."[6]
- Anti Dev has said: "Yeah I had this idea that most furries in Jim's world are like little Rocko's Modern Life-type toons and Jim just towers over all of them and everyone is too terrified to make him wear clothes."[7]
- Anti Dev has described the essence of Jim Rat: "[Another character]'s gonna be like Jim Rat in the sense that he's barely going to be a "character" at all and more like a jumbled mess of fetishes given form."[8]
- Anti Dev once replied to a tweet asking "yall ever get horny for some of your characters that you have?" by citing "Absolutely. Jim Rat especially."[9]
- Anti Dev has claimed "If I had my way I’d only draw Jim Rat and nothing else".[10]
- A fan asked "does Jim Rat actually have a proper home (like, a house or apartment) or is he just a vagrant hyper sex beast wandering and doing as he pleases?", and Anti Dev replied: "He’s got a house but the whole thing is furnished like one huge sex dungeon."[11]
