An '''enormous rat''', {{red|r}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears as part of the [[Convict]] patch incorporated in [[DynaHack]] and older versions of [[UnNetHack]]. The '''enormous rat''', {{monsym|enormous rat}}, also appears in [[SpliceHack]] and [[SlashTHEM]]. An enormous rat is a [[small]] [[carnivorous]] [[animal]] that is slightly larger than other early [[rodent]]s, and can be seen via [[infravision]]. Like other [[rat]]s, Convicts can pacify or tame them by [[chatting]] to one.

An enormous rat has a single bite attack.

==Generation==
Randomly generated enormous rats are always hostile, and may appear in small [[group]]s. A giant rat can [[grow up]] into an enormous rat, and an enormous rat can grow up into a [[Rodent of unusual size (DynaHack)|rodent of unusual size]].

Enormous rats appear among the random {{white|r}} that are part of the first [[quest]] [[monster class]] for [[Healer]]s and make up {{frac|24|175}} of the monsters randomly generated on the [[Healer quest]]. They also appear among the random {{white|r}} that are part of the first quest monster class for Convicts and make up {{frac|24|175}} of the monsters randomly generated on the [[Convict quest]]. Enormous rats additionally appear among the random {{white|r}} that are part of the first quest monster class for [[Pirate]]s and make up {{frac|24|175}} of the monsters randomly generated on the [[Pirate quest]].

In SlashTHEM, enormous rats appear among the random {{white|r}} that are part of the first quest monster class for [[Yeomen]] and make up {{frac|24|175}} of the monsters randomly generated on the [[Yeoman quest]].

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
Rats are long-tailed rodents. They are aggressive,
omnivorous, and adaptable, often carrying diseases.
[]

"The rat," said O'Brien, still addressing his invisible
audience, "although a rodent, is carnivorous. You are aware
of that. You will have heard of the things that happen in
the poor quarters of this town. In some streets a woman dare
not leave her baby alone in the house, even for five minutes.
The rats are certain to attack it. Within quite a small time
they will strip it to the bones. They also attack sick or
dying people. They show astonishing intelligence in knowing
when a human being is helpless."
[ 1984, by George Orwell ]

The '''enormous rat''', {{monsym|enormous rat}}, also appears in [[SpliceHack]] and [[SlashTHEM]]. This implementation of the monster is the closest to that of the original Convict patch (minus the different glyph in DynaHack).
