Rat

This critter can come in two varieties. The normal kind is small and often underfoot. There is also a large kind of rat that is normally more monstrous.  Rats are thought of as vermin and are often hunted down by most people.

Basic Information

Anatomy

This critter has four legs, a tail, and a head. On their head, there are two ears, two eyes, a long snot with a nose, and a mouth. In their mouths are sharp teeth.

Genetics and Reproduction

Rats reproduce sexually and give birth to live young.

Growth Rate & Stages

When born the little rat can not see. After about a week the babies' eyes start to open. The baby will be fully grown in about a few weeks. In order to become a giant rat the baby needs to eat magical foods. Normally some kind of magic corn can be eaten to help with extra growth.

Ecology and Habitats

Rats can live almost anywhere. Some of the most common places that can be found are forests, swamps, and urban places. They can also be found in dark places like sewers. They also live in dirty places.

Behaviour

The monsterous version of the rat is very big. They are thought to be a normal beast with no magically powers. They can be very territorial and will try to protect their areas. Even the large ones tend to swarm people. They can be used as scouts and theives. The beast is very brutal in its attacks.
