Okay, so who needs any other weapon when you have an endlessly thrashing tail?

Tidus uses his pipe where he can, but truthfully, he's not as effective as the lemur: the pipe is too narrow, and he gets maybe one or two while Tangle's tail manages far more targets. He does better kicking the ones that land at his feet away.

But they do somehow get rid of this wave, told by the lack of squeaking squeaks.

"Man, getting rid of rats isn't easy." More like, it's fussy!
