Labrat

Background

Labrat is a psychedelics researcher with a PhD whose real name is never given. He belongs to the Fooliganz, the troupe led by Dax, and serves as Dax's "personal physician" and as mentor to Mutt. He first works out of Ace Liquor in Sandy Shores and later becomes the resident chemist at The Freakshop in Mirror Park. He is voiced by Courtney Gains and arrived with the Los Santos Drug Wars update on December 13, 2022.

Role in GTA Online

In First Dose, Dax introduces Labrat to the protagonist after the Fooliganz move into Trevor Philips' old meth lab at Ace Liquor. The Lost MC attack soon after and steal Dax's Journey II. Once it is recovered, the group relocates to a warehouse at the Mirror Park Railyard and sets up The Freakshop. During the protagonist's initiation, Labrat and Mutt hand over what looks like a Logger Beer; the player downs it and learns it was a huge dose of acid. Dax later sends the player into Humane Labs to fight Merryweather and steal precursor chemicals Labrat needs.

In Last Dose, set in early 2023, a paranoid episode on acid distracts the crew while mercenaries working for Dr. Isiah Friedlander kidnap Labrat. The protagonist and Luchadora trace him to the FriedMind HQ in the Eclipse Medical Tower and rescue him.
