### Drops

Humanity - uncommon

### Attacks

---

- Biting attack - Basic attack, swinging its head against the player. Toxic buildup on hit. The toxin's HP loss rate is 7 HP/seconds.
- Standing attack - Will get up on it's back-feet and kind of drop down with it's paws. Also builds up Toxic on hit.
- Headbutt - Used as a quick stagger if you're nearby.
- Leap - Used if player is within medium range, extended version of the headbutt.

### Strategy

---

- Don't get surrounded by these rats as even if you block its attacks, it still builds up toxin.
- Block safely using 100% toxin resistance shields. i.e. Spider Shield, Crystal Shield, and Greatshield of Artorias.
