Not to be confused with Mouse, a similiar critter which spawns in the Underground and Cavern.

The Rat is a critter that spawns in the Graveyard and cannot harm players. Rats will attempt to dodge any enemy although they cannot be hurt by them.

It can be caught with a Bug Net to be carried around in the inventory and released later, or crafted into a Rat Cage to be used as furniture. Once crafted, the caged rat cannot be released again, and when placed down it moves around inside the cage as it would do outside.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Rat: "These fuzzy rodents sniff about in putrid locations scavenging for food. They are avoided in fear of diseases they may carry."
