A '''rodent of unusual size''', {{red|<u>r</u>}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears as part of the [[Convict]] patch incorporated in [[DynaHack]] and older versions of [[UnNetHack]]. The '''rodent of unusual size''', {{monsym|rodent of unusual size}}, also appears in [[SpliceHack]] and [[SlashTHEM]]. A rodent of unusual size is a [[medium]]-sized [[carnivorous]] [[animal]] that is among the strongest non-[[unique]] [[rodent]]s, and can be seen via [[infravision]]. Like other [[rat]]s, Convicts can pacify or tame them by [[chatting]] to one.

A rodent of unusual size has a single bite attack.

==Generation==
Randomly generated rodents of unusual size are always created hostile. An enormous rat can [[grow up]] into a rodent of unusual size.

Rodents of unusual size 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]]. Rodents of unusual size 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, rodents of unusual size 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]].
