The True Name of the Bat in "The Night Riders" Revealed: ‘Hoodrat’
Matt Furie’s first publication, "The Night Riders," features four unique characters: a bat/rat-like creature, a frog, a dragon, and a rat. This wordless, dreamlike narrative follows these characters through a fantastical landscape. Given the absence of words in the book, there has been much speculation about the names of the characters.
After substantial research, it has been revealed that the real name of the bat/rat-like creature in "The Night Riders" is, in fact, ‘Hoodrat’, while the names of the three other main characters have also been uncovered.
The most concrete piece of evidence is found in the book itself. While the body of the book contains only illustrations, the endnotes page features a very telling excerpt:
“In memory of Wat Thanks, Aiyana, Fox, Mystery, Toki, and Hoodrat.”
So who are these individuals?
- Wat: Matt Furie’s pet rat
- Aiyana: Matt Furie’s partner
- Fox: Matt Furie’s other pet rat
- Hoodrat, Mystery, and Toki: Strangely named characters
Let’s break them down and also consider that "The Night Riders" includes four main characters: the bat-like creature, the rat (inspired by Wat), the frog, and the dragon.
Character Associations in "The Night Riders":
- Wat: The rat in "The Night Riders" is inspired by Wat, Matt Furie’s pet rat.
- Toki: The dragon can be identified as Toki, consistent with the meaning of Toki, or dragon, in some Japanese translations.
Now we are left with Hoodrat and Mystery —the two remaining names, and with two remaining characters, the frog and the bat-like creature. While Matt Furie does not publicly speak on either name outside of the excerpt from the book, it is highly unlikely that a frog would be named Hoodrat. The bat-like creature fits the name, appearing more rat-like than bat-like.
Identifying Hoodrat:
Through the process of elimination, Wat is already established as the rat, Mystery is identified as the frog, and the rat in Hoodrat unmistakably represents a rat rather than a frog, thereby aligning with the bat/rat-like creature in The Night Riders. This distinction underscores the intentional thematic roles in the narrative, emphasizing the unique identities and characteristics of each character.
