Ron from accounting

Ratthew looks like a small black anthropomorphic rat. He has a white muzzle, two white teeth, and a long pink tail. His ears are more rabbit-like than typical rat ears. He occasionally looks at the camera, but doesn't turn his head any further than is physically possible. This doesn't mean he's abnormal in any way. Little is known about Ratthew's past. From a conversation with Ron in Accounting, we learn that he did, in fact, work in his department. According to Ron, Ratthew reviewed experimental reports in his department that Ron wasn't supposed to see. This suggests a possible sinister backstory for Ratthew. Despite his height, Ratthew is already an adult. Largely because he's a rat. According to Ron, Ratthew snuck into his office and examined some classified documents. Ron was shocked, but believes Ratthew did him a favor. Ratthew also engages in conversation with Ron when he enters the office, teasing him, suggesting that they may have a friendship of sorts.

Ron is a very knowledgeable patient at the Animal Hospital and an employee of Animal Inc. He knows more about the hospital's monsters and anomalies than most. Despite having encountered a wide variety of monsters, his cool and composed demeanor suggests he's quite calm under pressure. Ultimately, he seems impressed that the player has survived so long, suggesting he's gotten used to new hospital staff disappearing and doesn't mind it anymore. His ability to spot the Lying Monster and figure out a way to deal with it, rather than panic, suggests he's quite pragmatic and prepared for survival. The sheer number of stories he tells suggests he's very observant and notices patterns in the behavior of all the potential monsters in the hospital. He's also very straightforward and frank, unhesitatingly telling the player all the dangerous and disturbing facts about the place. His indifference to Ratthew's review of the lab reports suggests he understands the importance of not digging too deeply and is focused on preserving his own life. His apparent lack of loyalty to Animal Corp, as mentioned by Dr. Harlow, is also evident in his open discussions of "The Corporation" and "The Hospital" with the player, his lack of profanity when it comes to company secrets, and his apparent failure to report Ratthew. He seems to want to remain ignorant, perhaps for his own safety. It's safe to assume that other Animal Corp employees (like Rattina) "disappear" after learning too much, something Ron has worked there long enough to understand. Ron also seems dissatisfied with his job and says he doesn't understand why he chose it in the first place. This is supported by other characters, such as Dr. Harlow, who says Ron is simply indifferent to his work, and Ron's constant fatigue and headaches.

Ratthew once came into Ron's office and reviewed reports on experiments Ron wasn't supposed to see. Ron says Ratthew "did him a favor, honestly."

Ron discusses his job, stating that he and the other Animal Corporation employees work so hard they can't afford to take a break. He then says that the BOSS is furious, though it's unclear whether he's mad at Ron or just because—and also wonders why he even took the job. He then declares that he "needs to heal" before meeting the BOSS, possibly referring to his constant headaches.

Ron's exchange with Ratthew at the table has several implications. Ratthew teases Ron and calls him a "nerd," suggesting a mutual dislike between them. Ratthew seems to take this more playfully, which doesn't sit well with Ron. Ron's statement, "You have someone the Corporation is looking for," suggests Ratthew's "wanted" status, but there seems to be no genuine concern or action behind his words.

The player can also talk to Dr. Harlow about Ron. Dr. Harlow claims that "Accounting" is actually Ron's last name and that, since Ron works in Animal Corporation's management, they meet frequently. He then says that Ron is one of Animal Corporation's longest-serving employees, but he doesn't seem loyal. He claims Ron is simply indifferent to his work. He also reveals that Ron suffers from constant headaches due to the heavy paperwork. These constant headaches could explain why Ron is so frequently hospitalized or why he needs treatment before important events, such as a meeting with the BOSS.

Ron from Accounting is depicted as an anthropomorphic blue rabbit. He has short, slicked-back brown hair and half-lidded eyes. His facial expression is generally neutral. His long blue bunny ears are slightly longer than his head and are a darker blue than the rest of his fur. He wears a simple white, long-sleeved button-down shirt, black pants, a black tie, and, we can assume, leather shoes. He also carries a black briefcase with the words "TOP SECRET" printed in red, the same as Dr. Harlow's. The writing is in a stamped font. While at the hospital, he wears a patient or visitor badge that says "Ron from Accounting" on the left side. Ron works in the accounting department and is well-informed about Anomaly and Entity activity. Thanks to his past experience at the Veterinary Clinic, he knows why the clinic keeps hiring new interns. He keeps this a secret from the player. It can be assumed that this is because previous interns and employees have died on the job.

One conversation with the player also reveals that he knows about a previous intern who was eaten by the Bed Monster. Since then, Ron always carries maple syrup with him to prevent being eaten.

Ron will also tell the player that patients are admitted to the hospital not because they're sick, but because they're infected. This means he's been going to the hospital for some time now to avoid getting infected.

The fact that he knows that the old files were moved a month ago suggests that he has been interested in the Animal Hospital for a month now.

Ron also encountered the Eye Mass monster, explaining that eyes were staring at him from the ceiling, causing the old doctor to panic and search for eye drops. Afterward, the doctor disappeared.

Ron also encountered the Stalker. He occasionally sees the Stalker out of the corner of his eye, but during his time in the hospital, he realized the Stalker is shy and doesn't like being looked at.
