Despite being much bigger than their regular cousins, giant rats are just as wary of conflict and prefer to escape dangerous situations over fighting. While their bites and claws can cause nasty wounds if allowed to connect, they rarely, if ever, use them, instead using their excellent natural agility to get out of sticky situations and crawl through the tightest corners.
Giant rats are omnivorous creatures and skilled scavengers, renowned for crawling into every imaginable structure to search inside and gnaw anything that is edible - and many things that aren't. They are also sufficiently intelligent and agile to jump great distances in the air and hang onto door handles, which they can pull down to travel. Although giant rats are stereotyped in fiction as a common enemy for low-leveled adventurers, they are often pointless targets in the Mazes, as they are neither dangerous nor valuable for meat. However, they are fairly intelligent creatures that can become trusting of enough to trust sapients who feed them or treat them with kindnessfairly quickly. Many individuals have adopted giant rats as pets, and the individuals that did become pets are considered to be loyal and , affectionate , and low-maintenance creatures by their owners, if somewhat fragile to enemy fire. They also have the advantage of requiring relatively little maintenance - they are omnivorous and capable of digesting just about any type of human food, even the most processed kinds.
