| '''Rat Funks''' are blue-colored rodents that reside in [[Kero Sewers]] and the [[Forest Maze]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. They are cowardly creatures, and will often [[flee]] from battle. Rat Funks are also extremely fast, allowing them to attack before the party. Since these rodents are fairly weak, they tend to travel in numbers or with stronger monsters, including [[Hobgoblin]]s. In battle, a Rat Funk attacks by slapping its tail at a [[party member]]. Their tails can also be used to [[Poison (move)|poison]] their enemies. These rodents are relatives to the brown-colored [[Alley Rat]]s. | | |mgattack=0 |

| | '''Rat Funks''' are blue-colored rodents that reside in [[Kero Sewers]] and the [[Forest Maze]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. They are cowardly creatures, and will often run away from battle. Rat Funks are also extremely fast, allowing them to attack [[Mario]]'s party members before they have time to react. Since these rodents are fairly weak, they tend to travel in numbers or with stronger monsters, including [[Hobgoblin]]s. In battle, a Rat Funk attacks by slapping its tail at a [[Partner|party member]]. Their tails can also be used to [[Poison (status effect)|poison]] their enemies. As such, [[Antidote Pin]]s are the recommended accessories to wear when in Rat Funk-infested territory. These rodents are relatives to the purple-colored [[Alley Rat]]s. |

| *Rat Funk is most likely a reference to {{wp|Rat Fink}}, a line of grotesque cartoon characters popular in the 1960's and 80's. | | *Rat Funks are named after the phrase "rat fink," which is used by [[Fawful]] repdatedly in the Mario RPG [[Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga]]. |
| *Rat Funk's Japanese [[Thought Peek|thought]] parodies a line from the theme song to the 1971 anime adaptation of ''{{wp|Obake no Q-Tarō|Shin Obake no Q-tarō}}''.<ref>Clyde Mandelin (June 29, 2020). [https://legendsoflocalization.com/the-pop-culture-obsessed-monsters-in-japanese-super-mario-rpg/ The Pop Culture-Obsessed Monsters in Japanese Super Mario RPG]. ''Legends of Localization''. Retrieved July 31, 2021.</ref> This reference is removed in the English translations of the SNES and Nintendo Switch versions; however, the latter's script alludes to the quote's origins by encouraging the reader to "sing along with the rat funk."
