 * The term "Ratatoskr" may be derived from the Old Norse Myth where ratatoskr is a "Drill-Tooth Squirrel" which is a messenger that climbs up and down the world tree of "Yggdrasil" that is connected to the 9 worlds. It may symbolize how the group intervenes in matters from above and beyond the common knowledge of regular people (Which are the Unidentified Entities like the Spirits.) To protect those who are in the Bottom(Which are the regular Human beings.) or "Ratatoskr" maybe the so called messenger from those who are above and acts on their behalf.
