* Played straight in Facebook game ''[[Mousehunt]]''. Though ''everything'' you fight is a mouse, the three weakest mice (White, Brown and Grey) the player encounters in the tutorial are based off regular varieties of real-life mice/rats while everything else is a [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]
* The first quest for the Fighter's Guild in ''[[Morrowind]]'' has you killing a room full of rats.
** ''[[Oblivion]]'' plays it straight by starting you off in a dungeon/secret passage largely populated by rats, but subverts it with the first Fighter's Guild
** When asked about "Rumors," some NPCs will [[Lampshade Hanging|point out]] how the tasks given to new recruits always seem to have something to do with rats.
* At the beginning of ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'', you're asked to kill all the rats in a warehouse as part of the tutorial. [[Deadpan Snarker|CHARNAME's journal contains a several-lines long sarcastic rant on his/her thoughts on the 'quest'.]]
** ''[[Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance]]'' also begins with one of these, in the cellar beneath the Elfsong Tavern.
* ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'' has a [http://nwn.bioware.com/support/patchdetails127.html demo module] for rats and dire rats, named "[[Talk Like a Pirate|Thar be Rats! Yarrr!]]".
** In ''Hex Coda'', a module by [[Tropers/Twoflower|Stefan Gagne]], you're asked to get rid of the rats in the basement of a bar. Except that these are mutant, anthropomorphic rats, and the best course of action is not violence, but
* The reboot of ''[[The Bard's Tale]]'' starts with the Bard trying to impress a Barmaid by taking care of her rat problem. Turns out that the 'problem' is a giant, fire-breathing rat, and the locals regularly get a kick out of watching cocky adventurer types being beaten by it.
* ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]''. You start out fetching a mosquito larva from a forest and clearing out a tavern owner's basement of rats - including the miniboss [[Dastardly Whiplash|Baron von Ratsworth]]. However, the rats [[Mook Maker|just keep coming]] until you find and turn off the [[Rule of Funny|rat faucet]].
