Rats are small, prolific rodents found in urban areas. They are popular familiars among spellcasters.^[1]

Ecology

Rats are omnivores. They are normally secretive scavengers, but extreme hunger may cause them to join in aggressive, predatory rat swarms.^[1]

Ratlike creatures

See also: Giant rat

Giant rats resemble their smaller cousins in most respects, but grow to be up to two feet in length.^[1] Donkey rats are the size of small dogs, and have proportionally longer legs and shorter tails than other types of rats.^[2]

Wererats are a type of lycanthrope that can take the shape of a human-rat hybrid or of a giant rat.^[3]
