Patapons are black and white creatures with a large single eye. The Patapon were a flourishing people until they were defeated by the Zigoton Empire. They began a journey to Earthend to gaze upon IT, and are attacked by their enemies along the way. They march to the drumbeat 'pata pata pata pon,' and attack to the drumbeat 'pon pon pata pon.'
Upon hearing the drums, the Patapon awoke from their slumber and grabbed their spears, ready to fight for the journey to Earthend.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
