An '''enormous rat''', {{monsym|enormous rat}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears as part of the [[Convict]] patch incorporated in [[UnNetHack]], [[EvilHack]] and [[Hack'EM]]. The enormous rat is a [[medium]]-sized [[carnivorous]] [[animal]] that is among the stronger [[rodent]]s, and can be seen via [[infravision]]. Like other rats, 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. In EvilHack and Hack'EM, an enormous rat can grow up into a [[rodent of unusual size]].

==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 ]
