Professor Padraic Ratigan II is an anthropomorphic Rat criminal and the main antagonist of Disney's The Great Mouse Detective.
Character Description[]
Professor Padraic Ratigan II is Basil of Baker Street's arch-nemesis. Ratigan is a crime lord rat who doesn't like to be called one either, preferring the term mouse. In the film, he plotted to overthrow Queen Moustoria and become supreme ruler of Mousingham. He also wanted to kill Basil so he didn't interfere more with his plans. Despite his plan being smooth, he was foiled by Basil of Baker Street and was physically fought atop Big Ben. Here he showed his true side, a beast who kept clawing at Basil back and forth. Despite his immense strength, he eventually fell down to his death.
In Super Smash Disney Brothers[]
Ratigan appears as a playable villain character in SSDB. Ratigan is a powerful character with lots of agility on his side. He can also jump high despite being quite obese in a way. His Neutral Special is to chuck a bottle of champagne forward. His Side-Special is to do a leap forward. His Up Special is to have Fidget assist him by flying. His Down Special is to smash the ground making a shockwave champagne come out of the ground. In this game, Ratigan is in his normal non-beast appearance.
