Rat

About
A 
Rat is an aggressive 
Darkness Creature which will frequently attack on sight. If a Rat attacks you other Rats nearby will attack you as well. If you are bit by a Rat you will become 
Diseased, each subsequent bite increase the Disease's severity. It is rumored that Witches will not be attacked by Rats and may move among them freely.
NOTE: Rats will sink if killed over Shallow Water.
Fighting
NOTE: Artifacts which add Blunt Power, Common Combat Power, Impact Power, and Piercing Power will help make certain Attack move more successful. Artifacts with Feral Defense will lower the Blood damage you take from an animal's attack.
Because a Rat bite will cause you to become Diseased, you typically want to kill it quickly to avoid getting bit. The safest way is aggro it with a Shot from a 
Slingshot, then use a 
Stomp to kill it. Because Stomp has an Area of Effect around you, it can be used for fighting several Rats at once.
Resources
