Filson the Rat is an unusual rat found in the zoo in the upper left corner of on the Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos human campaign chapter 6, The Culling. He has the remarkable ability to evade any attack made against him. A crafty player will figure out a way to kill him by either clicking him multiple times, causing him to explode (as Warcraft III all critters do when repeatedly clicked), or by employing a Mortar Team (or a Cannon Tower if the player is in the mood for overkill). Although Filson will evade the initial projectile from the attack, the splash damage will kill him. Fittingly, he drops a Talisman of Evasion.
Trivia[]
- Grank and Filson were named after Blizzard associate producer Frank Gilson.
