Giant Rat

Giant rats are exactly what they sound like: rats grown far too big. They nest in abandoned buildings, sewers, cellars and caves all over the Lands Between and the Realm of Shadow.

Besides the normal ones there are Massive Rats, which are even bigger, and frenzied versions of both.

How to beat it

Rats are weak, but they often come in groups in tight spaces. Back into a corridor so they come at you one at a time, and use sweeping attacks to hit several at once.
