Giant Rat (Fallout Tactics)

Giant rats are creatures found in the Midwest of 2197.

Background
Giant rats are puppy-sized rodents who inhabit the wastes. For some reason they appear to have survived the atomic bombs of the Great War and continue to multiply. Even after the Great War the people of the wastes see them as vermin. They are considered easy prey, by human trappers, and their meat is commonplace in most markets. All rats run in packs, but they're not usually very dangerous.

Biology
Giant rats appear to simply be larger versions of normal pre-War rats. The giant rats in sport incredibly mangy and ragged fur (likely due to radiation) and,like normal rats, appear to have very large incisors.

Gameplay attributes
Giant rats travel and live in large packs, and are usually encountered in large groups.

Variants
Rats are very diminutive rodents who pose only an incredibly minor threat to most player characters. They're small, they're fast, and they've got a mean streak.

Appearances
Giant rats appear in Fallout Tactics.
