Born under a fork-lift truck on a building site, Biatchslap leads a simple life, throwing rubble at passers by to earn a living, and eating on scraps thrown down by tourists.

His only regret is the day he swapped his favourite toy, a mallet, for a pet-dog. He called the pet-dog sherbert, after his favourite food, but later discovered that sherbert was not a short-tailed, short-haired sausage dog who nibbled affectionately... he was in fact a large rat that had lost its tail.
