Giant Rats

First apperance: Ultima I

Last apperance: Ultima IX



Description

These big Rats are a good hint, that there is a environmental problem... Giant Rats might be not a big threat in combat, but they carry all kinds of desease with them, and one unlucky bite can be enough to cause a serious infection, which has to be treated at once. Because of this, Giant Rats are less a combat problem, but more are danger to the public health and food stocks in the cities.

Giant Rats usually dwell in caves and dungeons, but can also be found in the wilderness.

Evolution in the series

Once established, Giant Rats changed very little in all installments they appear in. The only serious change happened in Ultima IX, where Giants Rats became MUCH bigger.
