These are large, ugly creatures that can grow to just over 2 feet in length have wild fur (that ranges from black to white to red to anything in between) and crooked teeth that can chew through and eat just about anything. These guys can be found pretty much anywhere and while they may seem like a good meal, be careful of their sharp teeth. A bite from one is nasty and is likely to get infected because of their poor hygiene. However, with enough patience they can be tamed. Food seems the best way to get through to them. 1)

Red Rats

The more docile of the cave rat species. They have sandy or russet colored fur that is just as filthy as any other cave rats’. These guys are the easiest to tame as they have a group mentality and prefer not to be alone. If you find one Red Rat then you’re likely to find at least ten more.

Pitch Rats

These fellows are usually darker colored and tend to be more on the aggressive side. If they see you alone they are likely to try and attack, especially if they’re in a group. They have long claws that aids them in climbing and crawling across rough surfaces. Their eyes are almost always red or yellow.

Echoing Gray

Usually gray or white in color these rats can mimic any sound they hear to a T. They are the smallest species of rat so they usually use it to scare away predators but can also use it to lure prey to them for easy eating. Beware, if a group of these rats get together they’ll lure larger prey to them and try to attack it in groups with their sharp teeth. They seem to be the most intelligent of the rats as they will band together and try to coordinate their attacks on vital areas.
