Scotty was named such because we didn't want to name him Sun Quan, for fear of the archers. Or at least, that makes a better story for how he got named that. Sun Quan was tossed around as a name for one of them, since we already had Cao Cao and Lu Bu, but we decided that Sun Quan would be entirely too much of a handful. "Spotty" was tossed around as a possible name for Scotty, as he is black with white spotted patches, but it didn't stick and Scotty was used instead.
He's sometimes hard to tell from Lu Bu as they are both black and white, but Scotty has much less white on him overall, and very small spots, where Lu Bu has a gigantic white blaze on the forehead. Scotty is also the second largest of the rats, starting out a decent bit smaller than Lu Bu but he's been trying to catch up since. Scotty is the mountain climber of the group. No peak is too tall for him. His default direction of travel is upwards.
At this point, Barrick tried to help write the description of Scotty. L says: "He's probably going to put propaganda like 'pees on his food'" Bad Barrick, go hide in the corner.
Anyways, Scotty is very energetic and interested and tends to always be exploring and finding higher spots to climb to. He's pretty calm as far as petting goes, but has a low threshold for duration and will start squirming pretty quickly. He doesn't seem the dominant type either, not really going out of his way to tussle with any of the others, but he doesn't do badly when he does.
Finally, a pictorial comparison of Scotty and Lu Bu, to assist in telling them apart:
This is Scotty! He is being very annoyed at me for holding him still for this picture.
This is Lu Bu. A bit darker of a picture but the difference in coloring on the forehead is really apparent when comparing this to the previous one.
