Variant of Munchelangelo

Ratfaels are variants of Munchelangelos in Wario: Master of Disguise. They are found in the S.S. Caviar along with their standard counterparts, and attack in the same way. Ratfaels are similar to their normal counterparts, but they are orange, are more aggressive, and have purple pants.

In-game description[edit]

This little guy is always running about with a rage-reddened face. Some say it's because of his insatiable jealousy of Munchelangelo.

Naming[edit]

"Ratfael" is a portmanteau of "rat" and a misspelling of the Italian Renaissance painter, Raphael.
