Munch the Rat

Munch as his fellow Freedom Fighters had two encounters with members of the Chaotix some time after their original leader, Rob o' the Hedge, went into hiding. The first time, they met Mighty the Armadillo and Ray the Flying Squirrel shortly after the pair arrived in Mercia looking for Mighty's lost sister. After providing the pair with what information they could, Munch and his comrades prepared to join them in invading Snottingham Castle, headquarters of the Mercia Dark Egg Legion. However, a surprise attack on Deerwood Forest changed their plans, and after helping the Freedom Fighters rebuff the assault, the pair went off to invade the castle alone.

Some time later, Munch and his team came to the aid of several of Mighty and Ray's friends from the Chaotix when they were attacked by the Legion and several G.O.O.N.s. He quickly befriended Vector the Crocodile, the pair using their powerful jaws to disable the giant robots. The battle done, the groups exchanged introductions, and Munch's team escorted the Chaotix trio back to Hideaway and informed them of what had become of their two friends. Espio quickly deduced that information regarding the whereabouts of Mighty's sister would be in the castle, and Munch complimented his reasoning. Alan Quail guessed that Espio had developed his talents while working with individuals of Munch's low mental caliber, irritating his teammate. The two groups resolved to work together to infiltrate the castle, and Munch and Vector teamed up once again to remove bars blocking a secret tunnel into the fortress.
