I realize there's no catacombs announced yet; however, it's suggested, and having this page here will at least help those who are excited and confused and come to the wiki in search of answers.

Perhaps a disclaimer at the top warning that none of this is verified and is merely speculation- I'm sure that the readers would appreciate the mere fact that there's some sort of news here.--[[User:Kirbix|Kirbix]] 21:23, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Rather than a laundry list of loot that's dropped, it's much more useful to know WHAT drops the loot. It can make all the difference when deciding what bait and trap to use if you're after something specific. If you have this info, please list it after each mouse as was previously the case before it was turned back into a fairly useless list.

I checked my trap and found that I had caught a mouse! I caught a 6 oz. Vampire mouse from the Mousoleum worth 2,695 points and 906 gold.
  
Until they say there's an area called the catacombs, we don't know what they mean. That's why I said it's suggested; there's been no official announcement of any catacombs and it could be a name that doesn't actually refer to any area we see.

The mouse also dropped the following loot:
Hence the disclaimer- MHWiki does not generally support heavy rumormongering, and we don't have enough solid fact for it to be much more than that.--[[User:Kirbix|Kirbix]] 21:28, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

My weapon was very effective against this mouse.
  
:And yet here we are posting info on several pages about stuff that hasn't been announced yet. I'm on record as being solidly against such practices. It serves no good purpose and potentially creates a mess we'll have to beg a dev to clean up, since no one else has delete privileges. Just my $0.02, which may be worthless depending on exchange rates. --&nbsp;[[User:Brossow|B.Rossow]]&nbsp;<sup style='margin-right:-11px'>[[User_talk:Brossow|talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Brossow|contr]]</sub> 21:51, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

this wasnt just a bug was it?
  
::>_> You know that I know better than most about your views in regard to rumors. That's why I'm asking here if we can keep it with a disclaimer. The idea is that everything on here IS true, and it gives readers something to look to as some definitive answers to the rumors that are already flying across the forums.

:::Asking after the fact is pointless. The page now exists and without intervention from a dev, it's here for good. I'm disappointed that it couldn't wait until it was official, but I'm not going to argue and I'm not going to tag it for deletion. I just wish people (in general) could show a little more self-restraint instead of having to be the first to create a page or post new information before someone else can. There's plenty of work to be done without spending time on guesswork and rumor. IMHO, as always. --&nbsp;[[User:Brossow|B.Rossow]]&nbsp;<sup style='margin-right:-11px'>[[User_talk:Brossow|talk]]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Brossow|contr]]</sub> 22:02, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
::::If our goal is to help the users, then even a useless page that is able to say later on "we thought this was an area but were wrong" isn't really a waste.

==How rare are Bat mice in the Catacombs?==
 +
 
 +
Bat mice are marked as rare at this location, and I have never attracted one in my 529 hunts in the Catacombs. Still, I came across these two profiles of newer players - they both have almost 500 hunts, and the Bat attraction ratio for both of them is around 3.7%, which is higher than a few other breeds of Catacombs mice. Perhaps in v.3 Bats are not all that uncommon, especially if you hunt with RB?
