Glue Gunner Rat Pet

“	Always at Glue Gunner's side, especially in the lab. Ever wonder who does the science behind glue's many properties? We think it's the rat.	”

Glue Rat

Glue Gunner Rat Pet (or Glue Rat for short) is a tower pet added in Version 28.0, and is available in the Trophy Store. When enabled, all Glue Gunners each have a pet rat with lab goggles with yellow lenses, a glue blob, and black gloves with one white stripe each. The pet rat will recurringly squeak and scuttle around vacant land space, and sometimes rubs its face. It costs 80 to unlock.

Ninja Kiwi frequently features the Glue Rat as a recurring joke among the Bloons TD 6 community. Their first notable instance of such is in their Version 31.0 patch notes about jokingly "nerfing" the Glue Rat. Other examples include the Version 32.0 patch notes nerfing Geraldo's moustache, and various other instances covered under #Trivia.
