No, it's not the Auctioneer.
Hint: The one calling the answer vermin is YOU, the player. No one in the actual game ever actually speaks to it.

Look at me, do I look like vermin to you?

Incorrect guesses so far:

Rachel
Freya Crescent

The NPC in the inn in Alexandria
Burmecian Soldier Dan

Cid Fabool IX
The Auctioneer
Is it somebody in Treno ? Like during the card tournament on disc 3 ?
No, it's not found in Treno.
An NPC you cannot talk to, but refer to in the game as "Vermin" that is also referred to as "it". Also, it is neither Burmecian nor found in Treno...
I honestly cannot think of any more...
Hint: I never said it was specifically called "Vermin". It is, however, given a name that is something to do with vermin (in the literal sense) that is not indicative of what it actually is.
I think your idea of vermin must be different from ours. To me only the cleryans could fit that.
This post brought to you by the power of boobs. Dear lord them boobs. Amen
My idea is vermin is how it's defined in the dictionary. "Any one of various common types of small insects or animals which cause harm and annoyance." Rats are not the only kind of vermin, either in real life or in the game.
And as I've stated many times before, this character is MISTAKENLY referred to as a type of vermin. Referring to Burmecians as a type of vermin (in their case a rat) would not be a mistake, as rats are indeed what they are. But in the case of the answer to the riddle, what I'm looking for is a character who is referred to as a type of vermin (and note again that includes more than just rats), but is expressly NOT said type of vermin. Also keep in mind my other hint that says that it's the player who makes the aforementioned mistake, not any character in the game.
I think I just dropped several major hints there. I really did NOT expect people to find this riddle so hard, I was expecting it to be guessed in like three posts or something.
Is it the Ragtime Mouse?
Actually, you never said that. You just said that vermin was to be taken in the literal sense.
And that kind of attitude makes the game fun for no one. And as easy as you might think this is, if no one ever interacts or speaks to the character, it makes guessing really, really tough.I think I just dropped several major hints there. I really did NOT expect people to find this riddle so hard, I was expecting it to be guessed in like three posts or something.
Is it one of the Friendly Monsters?
Ragtime MOUSE?
Interesting how differently two people can interpret the same statement. I was just thinking TwilightLord had been pretty patient considering several hints have gone ignored repeatedly. For example: what you say above that he didn't say, he actually did say, twice. Probably comes down to misinterpretations.
Pantz, you are the win! It was the Ragtime Mouse!
Wow, I did NOT expect that to last as long as it did. Anyway, here's the explanation.
"What the hell did you call me?
Look at me, do I look like vermin to you?"
As I've stated before, these lines go together. The Ragtime Mouse is not a mouse, and looks nothing like a mouse. His/Its name was actually supposed to be Ragtime Mouth, which is much more fitting for his appearance. So he's wondering why on earth the player (as I said, it's the player calling him vermin, not any character in the game) is calling him a Ragtime Mouse when he clearly looks nothing like a mouse.
"You're gonna have to work to earn my protection now.
Nothing in life is free, after all."
If you answer all of his questions correctly, he drops a Protect Ring. This is sort of continuing the "story" of the riddle too, with the Ragtime Mouse/Mouth essentially saying he was just going to give you the ring, but then you insulted him by calling him a mouse so now you have to earn it.
"How about we play a little game first?"
Refers to the questions you have to answer.
Congratulations!
I thought it was the ragtime mouse but the ragtime mouse is a monster, not an NPC so I suppose people misinterpreted the riddle.
Monsters are also NPCs.
