"How now? A rat? Dead, for a ducat, dead!" - William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act III, 4

The majority of the rats you'll encounter are weak, insignificant creatures that do little more than rush you harmlessly and get slaughtered in droves. However, some of the rats you'll encounter have been affected by the strange magic of the Dungeon, and have dangerous powers worth watching out for. They can be found in nearly every early branch of the game.

Rat Types

r Rat- A feisty Dungeon delicacy common everywhere!

r Grey rat- These feral rats are slightly more vicious than their civilized cousins, and taste much worse.

r Green rat- Giant rats tainted with sewer filth.

r Orange rat- Demonic rats whose teeth nibble away at your very soul.

r Laboratory rat- Rats that have been enhanced by an insane mix of science and magic, now endowed with various abilities.

Other Vermin

These monsters, while not technically rats, also use the r glyph.

r Quokka- Fairly harmless marsupials, only marginally more dangerous than standard rats.

r Porcupine- Cranky rodents which make you regret every attack against them with razor-sharp quills.
