Entity Number: 25
Habitat: Level 2
Description:
Death Rats are the rats of the Backrooms, like their normal counterpart, they have gray fur, a pink tail, and red eyes, unlike the rats found in the Frontrooms, Death Rats are measured to be 3.8 inches tall, 7 inches wide, weighs 800g, and has a lifespan of 200 years. They are resistant to most acids and commonly found in Level 2 on the ground or inside broken pipes, they are typically in groups of 5 and attacks anything that moves, they only eat human/Skin-Stealer flesh and human brains/stomachs.
Behavior:
They attack either by: 1. Eating the feet of and legs of their victim before eating their brain or 2. They enter their stomach and eat them from the inside out. They normally pick option 2 as a way to torture their victims before killing them, Death Rats are only hostile when you move and are nearby their nests. If only 1 Death Rat is found, it will instead hide in broken pipes, running away from anything that moves (except when it's hungry), and tries to find another group of Death Rats to join with in order to attack other people.
Discovery:
A member of The Survivors was exploring Level 2 when he heard squeaking nearby, he explored the area and found huge rats, he later named them Death Rats after seeing them eat a human from the inside out, hearing the deafening screams of the human before they died. He later went to his Colony to tell others about this story.
