Scott

**Scott** was the third member of the SMP to be revealed via the POWCreations Twitter account alongside Bek on October 8, 2022. He is designated as the Farmer of the rats.

Scott has two lives left. He was killed by a cat.

## Appearance

Scott is a rat with light brown fur, teal hair and light blue eyes. He wears a straw hat and blue overalls. The fur on his chest is lighter and his ears flop down due to his straw hat.

## History

### Backstory

Scott was raised in a large farming family in the countryside. While the details of his life before the Mansion are unknown, he mentions having watched an invasive species of warped fungus destroy forests and farmlands and was involved in its removal; three of his mother's sisters died within three days of inhaling too much smoke from burning the fungus, and he has presumably lost other family members due to its toxins. He also mentions having played games, including Connect Five.

However, the humans who owned the farmland sold it off to a construction company, which destroyed the farm, forcing him to flee and eventually come to the Mansion.

### Episodes 9-12: The Invasive Fungus

Scott decorates Owen's balcony at his request.However, as he's showing the build to Owen on Day 35, November 19, the two spot an invasive species of warped fungus with deadly spores in the garden. Scott spearheads the removal effort, being familiar with the fungus, and recruits Eloise to help them remove the fungus from the garden and burn it all. After this, he and El discover a large hostile moth infestation in the Boiler Room, and returns to the Attic to make and deliver food to his friends. The next day, Scott can be seen attending Oli's trial in the Library as part of the public, but this event is not shown in any of his episodes.

On Day 39, November 23, Scott continues to make and deliver food for the rats, but is called away to look at Oli's shiny "trash" he found in the Eldest Daughter's Room, alongside the rest of the rats. Oli then splashes El and Will with a potion, turning them into cats. Under the Eldest Daughter's instructions, Scott goes with Will, Acho, Oliver, Apo, and Owen to first visit the Magical Squid, then the Fox; they fail the Magical Squid's dance challenge, but manage to convince the Fox to hand over the Shining Star necessary for the antidote. When the Eldest Daughter brews the antidotal Potion of Rodentia to reverse the effects on El and Will to turn them back into rats, Scott picks up one of the spare potions and keeps it.

On Day 42, November 26, Scott decorates his corner of the Mansion to be more festive. While gathering more ingredients to cook, he stumbles across Owen half-dead in the Basement, who reveals he secretly took one of the invasive mushrooms and was behind the deadly fungal infestation of the Boiler Room, as he planted the mushroom there to get rid of the hostile moths. The two then, along with the other rats, find three termites living in their Attic walls and spend the rest of the day relocating the termites in the Fox's den, with Scott repeatedly making offhand jokes about the termites' short lifespan, and complete the Gardeners' quest to round up the chickens and return them to their pen.

### Episodes 13-14: The CAT-astrophic Revenge Plan

Later on Day 42, while not shown in any of Scott's episodes, he shows Shelby around his redecorated house and farm and, alongside El, investigate one of the secret passageways Martyn once mentioned leading to an amethyst geode. Scott and El then show Shelby the fungus-infested Boiler Room, which she investigates despite their warnings. The three then return to the Attic while fleeing from Oy and Oreo, which have since become more aggressive.

Scott completes the Gardener's quest to build a scarecrow in the wheat fields; in the process, he plays a game of Connect Five against El, and the two go adventuring in the woods, only for El to be mauled by a wolf soon after, resulting in her first canon death. Later, after showing the finished scarecrow to El, they are chased by the cats and eventually split up, ultimately leading to Scott's first and feline-induced canon death.

After his first death, Scott gains a large scratch scar on his right arm and vows revenge. On Day 47, December 1, he meets up with Bek, El, and Jimmy in the garden and others in the Attic. He shows everyone else around Acho's chicken coop and his redecorated house, discussing a potential food shortage from the snow outside and his builds. However, Scott soon pulls Krow aside to hatch his revenge plan, by attempting to brew a potion that could turn Oy and Oreo into rats so they can more easily get rid of them. He refuses to listen when the other rats attempt to dissuade him; the potions cause the two cats to duplicate, one of them to die, and the rest to shift in sizes. Having no idea how to fix the problem, the rats try to seek out the Eldest Daughter to fix the mishap; all of the rats, including Scott, are effectively banned from brewing potions again.

Once the disaster is over, the rats have a snowball fight and build snowmen in the garden, and investigate the moving angel statues which the Butler moved to the Basement. Upon finding Will is in possession of a warped mushroom, Scott demands them to hand it over and have it burnt.

## Trivia

* During Lizzie's *de facto* hiatus from the series, Scott is left in charge of the food supply entirely, and steps up as the team chef of the rats.
