| The original purpose of the Laboratory was to research the minor mouse problem Gnawnia was having. A few less than ethical experiments soon gave rise to new breeds of mice altogether. Now overrun with the very mice it spawned, few hunters dare to step foot on its grounds. | |

Mice with Special Requirements
- Relic Hunter Mouse – This mouse visits the Laboratory on an irregular basis. It does not consume cheese or charms. Hunters must have an Ancient Relic in their inventory to attract this mouse. The Ancient Relic will be taken by the Relic Hunter Mouse in exchange for a Relic Hunter Scroll Case.
- M400 – This mouse will sometimes be available in the Laboratory when Hunters are actively working an M400 Hunting Research Assignment. It is attracted only to Fusion Fondue which will not attract any other mice. It drops a wide variety of loot.
Hunting Strategy
Mice in the Laboratory are weak to all power types apart from Draconic, Parental and Rift.

Hunting tips by Larry
Welcome to the remains of the Laboratory, brave MouseHunter!
Years ago, the King built this research facility to observe the unusual changes in Gnawnian mice. Unfortunately, a few of their experiments went wrong, flooding the area with even more monstrous rodents. The Laboratory contains many mysteries, including that of the scientists who disappeared from here long ago.
A few of the mice here have stolen long-forgotten vials of radioactive waste. This glowing goo is left over from experiments in creating more powerful forms of bait. It might be worth the effort to save some of these vials to see if they work the way the scientists intended...
