A pack rat is a rat appearing only on the Rat King's level in SLASH'EM. It can steal items, but cannot teleport away like a nymph, but rather attempts to run away like a monkey. Fortunately it is not very dangerous, having the same hit dice as a sewer rat. It can be hard to distinguish the pack rats among all the other rats on the Rat King's level, particularly since the black rats which also appear there share the same glyph.
