About
A  Rat is an aggressive Creature which can be found in any biome in The  Darkness. Rats don't like  Timber Rattlers and can often be found attacking them. Rats are usually found in groups of three to five.
Combat Behavior
Rats are aggressive; they will attack any pilgrim who wanders too close. If one Rat attacks you it often triggers nearby Rats to attack you as well.  Bite is a Rat's only attack and while it is not particularly powerful, it does transmit  Disease, with each subsequent Bite increasing the Disease's severity. It is rumored that Witches will not be attacked by Rats and may move among them freely. As you will often be attacked my multiple Rats at once,  Stomp, with its AOE damage is a highly effective method of killing Rats.
