The diet of a Glitchpaw Mouse mostly consists of wires and circuit boards. Although they spend most of their time hiding in the Laboratory, occasionally these mice run rampant throughout the Kingdom causing all sorts of technical problems for the King's hunting operation. Is your cheese failing to attract? Can't seem to find that oh-so-rare map piece? Having a horrible streak of "red boxes"? It's a pretty safe bet that you can blame all of your problems on these scapegoats!
