Rodent of unusual size

Rodents of Unusual Size or Giant rats are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland.

Appearances
Rodents of Unusual Size appear in Fallout: New Vegas. They can be found in Broc Flower Cave (alongside a unique Varmint Rifle called Ratslayer) and the sewers beneath New Vegas. If the player have selected the trait Wild Wasteland, there is a message upon entering cave.

Behind the Scenes
These creatures are named in reference to William Goldman's novel and film The Princess Bride.

"Buttercup: We'll never succeed. We may as well die here." "Westley: No, no. We have already succeeded. I mean, what are the three terrors of the Fire Swamp? One, the flame spurt - no problem. There's a popping sound preceding each; we can avoid that. Two, the lightning sand, which you were clever enough to discover what that looks like, so in the future we can avoid that too." "Buttercup: Westley, what about the R.O.U.S.'s?" "Westley: Rodents Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist." [Immediately, an R.O.U.S. attacks him]
