Rat are an Enemy in Dark Souls 3
Rat Background
Intrepid adventurers are never too far from a mischief of rats, curiously sniffing the air for scraps and potential prey. These pestilence bringers shouldn't prove to be more than a mere annoyance, but can still be unruly and difficult to predict in large numbers. It is wise to attack one rat at a time, as they are particularly skilled in surrounding players.
Slashing attacks are particularly useful against these enemies, and a few precise hits will quickly dispatch the undesired. Their attacks are largely predictable and recovery time is ample enough for players to attack multiple times.
Rat Combat Information
- Lunges forth at the player after a short buildup, and will bite continuously.
- This enemy can be easily lured with an Alluring Skull, distracting them long enough to either escape or kill them.

i just lost the titanite chunk from the giant for the second time in a row because of these pieces of trash, it is unbelievable
These stunlock bois are the reason why DS1 poise should be in the game. No reason for a Havel monster to be staggered by these little bastards.

Most of the time I got killed because the camera lags behind them ._.
The massive rats do you for like 700 health on NG+4. Only time in this playthrough I've had to equip a greatshield just to deal with them, they're insane

If you flip one upside-down after it's been killed, you can see that they're all male. You might also find your immersion increase

Really?? a rat shouldn't be able to stunlock, idc if you're Naked Joe or that they're over sized. After all the souls I consume as the Champion of Ash and I can get stunlocked by rats?? I call bull***** fromsoft...... This is especially annoying in groups cause they'll attack milliseconds apart keeping you from doing *****, I can't even roll-stun them to get away but I can roll-stun a hollow???
like hollows, seem to be a lot more aggressive in pack, attacking furiously without many breaks. They can get annoying especially that their damage is noticeable in irithyl dungeon.
On my 3rd playthrough the rat mom at the lake followed me all the way to the swamp part. I tried to attract her to the crabs to see if they fight but the ballista killed me.
