Rancid Rat

Rancid Rats are small rat-like enemies added in v1.8, the Bestiary Update. They are found in several locations in large numbers alongside other enemies.

Behavior
Rancid Rats tend to appear in groups with other enemies and move randomly when idle. After spotting the Beheaded on the same platform, it will move towards the Beheaded and perform a quick attack when close enough. It is recommended to roll or dodge the attack as attempting to parry it can be difficult. Despite doing little damage and having a small amount of health, they can prove to be a nuisance in larger groups of enemies, so using grenades or area of effect skills is a viable way to defeat them.
