| − | A '''sewer rat''', a lowercase letter <tt>r</tt>, is just another weak monster. Compare it to the [[kobold]], the [[newt]], or the [[grid bug]], but those three monsters are far more popular.

| − | To see why, try these searches on [[Dudley's dungeon]], the webcomic set in ''[[NetHack]]'':
| |
| − | * [http://www.nicolaas.net/dudley/archive.php?q=newt newt] returns at least 31 comics (thanks to the rivarly between Dudley and newts)
| |
| − | * [http://www.nicolaas.net/dudley/archive.php?q=grid+bug grid bug] returns 4 comics
| |
| − | * [http://www.nicolaas.net/dudley/archive.php?q=kobold kobold] returns 3 comics
| |
| − | * [http://www.nicolaas.net/dudley/archive.php?q=sewer+rat sewer rat] returns exactly one comic, [http://www.nicolaas.net/dudley/index.php?f=20051207 7 December 2005]

| − | So (at least for the authors of Dudley's dungeon), even kobolds have three times the probability of sewer rats. (If you look in [[Wikihack]] though, the sewer rat page appeared at 26 March 2006, before the pages for any of the three other monsters.)

| − | In ''[[Slash'EM]]'', you can throw [[cheese]] at a sewer rat; you might tame it. But it probably is not worth the effort.
