In actuality, the Slayer survived and was sent hurtling through the sewers, eventually being deposited near the industrial park the events of "I, Monster" take place in. Losing several of its robotic parts, cloaking device and healing ability, the Slayer degenerated into an even more monstrous form, becoming the Rat King, as the rats don't fear him. It is never said how he controls rats, but presumably it is related to his being formed from mutated rat (Splinter's) DNA.

The Rat King later appears in the episode "Wedding Bells and Bytes", secretly watching Casey and April's wedding from a distance with a smile.
