Line 149:
* [[Mortasheen|Morta]][http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen.htm sheen] has a few, including the amoebic; thieving [http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/gravesnitch.htm Gravesnitch] , the oddly-toothed [http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/gnawful.htm Gnawful], the cold-loving [http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/abomignash.htm Abomignash], and the absolutely disturbing [http://www.bogleech.com/mortasheen/vermoeba.htm Vermoeba] (Which is based on the Rat King detailed below)
==
* ''[[Pokémon]]'' has quite a few of these, often [[Com Mons]]. Examples include Rattata, Pachirisu, and of course, the Pikachu family.
** ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' has very scary implications if it weren't for the fact that the characters are trophies. Imagine, if you will, dropping a life-sized Pikachu on [[Kirby|Pop Star]] or [[Pikmin|Hocotate]]. A malicious, normal-sized Pikachu
*** Somewhat justified because they are usually cute, big eyed and not very menacing. Not even those with teeth bared are all that terrifying.
* ''[[Ultima Underworld]] II'' features giant rats of various types.
Line 191:
* [[Mirror's Edge]] breaks realism to include one, if you fire at a certain sign with a sniper rifle.
* The second ''[[Resident Evil]] Out Break'' game features those rats that spread the T-Virus attacking one of HUNK's men after he'd been felled by Birkin. There was also artwork showing muntant rats that didn't make the game.
* ''[[EarthBound]]'' features a Sanctuary Guardian called the Plague Rat [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|of Doom]].
* In the Human Noble origin in ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]'', you fight a bunch of giant rats who got into the kitchen larder.
* ''[[Dark Cloud]] 2'' fills several levels of its sewer with them.
Line 203:
** There's also "Big Bad Blag" which is a giant, fat anthropomorphic rat even larger than the toads themselves.
* ''[[Duke Nukem Forever]]'' has regular-sized rats attacking Duke... after he's been hit by the effects of a [[Incredible Shrinking Man|shrinking device]]. Duke then quips "''Talk about your rodents of unusual size!''"
* ''[[NetHack]]'' has giant rats and rabid rats are common early-game enemies, and ROUS are one of the many hallucinatory monsters. Many variants such as ''[[UnNetHack]]'' and ''[[EvilHack]]'' include the enormous rat and actual ROUS as stronger variants, while ''[[SpliceHack]]'' also includes humanoid rats.
