When the cliff collapsed Roderick was falling and Smelly saved him. When he got back to the ledge he stuffed him in his mouth. He survived and it added on to his grudge against Stinky. He also attacked the rats, like the other orphans did, when they betrayed them at the mountain. He was last seen with the Possum Kids saying goodbye.

Smelly: Hates him less then Stinky.

Trivia[]

Roderick may be completely unaware that The Two Rat Creatures are the same Rat Creatures that ate his parents.
Strangely enough in in Book 5 of Bone, only the orphans survived. Maybe the parents begged for their children's survival over theirs to Smelly and Stinky, and they felt sorry for them and let them live.or like actual animals the parents lead the two rats away from their children.
Bartleby is the only rat creature Roderick may be comfortable around.
It is a play on Rodrick from Diary Of A Wimpy Kid
