YMMV / King Rat

• Complete Monster: The Pied Piper of Hamelin is reimagined as a terrifying Humanoid Abomination and a psychopathic narcissist who forced a holocaust onto the sapient rats of Hamelin, drowning millions and deposing King Rat of his position. Utterly enraged that Saul, the hybrid son of King Rat, is able to resist his songs through which he controls his victims, the Piper hunts him down relentlessly while casually slaughtering countless people in horrifying, brutal ways, including tying Saul's friend into the path of an oncoming train and brutally murdering a homeless woman Saul befriends simply to hurt him. Enslaving Saul's other friend to use the music of Drum & Bass to control all he can, the Piper is revealed at the end to have spirited away the hundreds of children of Hamelin into his domain into eternal torment, merely to get back at the rulers of Hamelin for refusing to pay him. A demented, strutting sadist aptly described as the "spirit of narcissism", the Piper is a creature of horrifying dominance and rage under his transparent human veneer.
