Warlock is a black dumbo.

Warlock was from Shunamite rats in Newcastle.

Black dumbos are my favourite rat variety, but since the death of Seven I have not owned another smooth coated black dumbo. I knew I wanted kittens from Alison, as I have had several of her rats over the years and they're always a joy to own, so when she offered me a smooth coated black dumbo, I couldn't say no.

Warlock is distantly related to Seven, and is the absolute spitting image of him when he was a kitten.
Warlock is what I like to call 'bomb proof' meaning nothing troubles him. He went into the big cage with Josh's group with perfect ease, and caused no trouble whatsoever. Within only a few days, he was pinching food off the older rats, who seemed happy to allow him to. He looks like he could be an alpha rat when he is older, as he seems to command a lot of respect even at his young age.
Warlock is also huge. He weighs as much as a reasonable size adult male, and he is still only a baby. He looks like he might have the tendancy toward weight gain that Seven and Josh both exhibited, so I am careful about what I allow him to eat.

He is an absolutely stunning rat, though, and part of me wished I still attended shows as Im sure he could do well.

Why Warlock? Warlock is the name of a black dumbo rat character I've had for many years now (the character himself was based on Mick from Slipknot who used to play a BC Rich Warlock guitar) and I was originally going to name Seven Warlock. But when Seven became Seven, I told myself my next smooth coated black dumbo would be called Warlock. He was Warlock before I even picked him up.
