Although they might be mouse enemies, Rappies are actually bigger than mice and thus they resemble rats. The origin of the name "Rappy" may be interpreted in two ways: it is either derived from the fact that the word "rat" sounds closely to "rap", or inspired from a character pertaining to the TV show ''[[wikipedia:Tom & Jerry Kids|Tom & Jerry Kids]]'', called Rap Rat - a gangster rat who constantly sings in a rap cadence. Likewise, the name could be inspired from ''Rap Rat'', a board game developed by [[wikipedia:Atmosfear (series)#Nightmare|A Couple 'A Cowboys]] which involves an odd and rankling antropomorphic rodent bursting out of a cheese hole and explaining the instructions useful for the game.

I'm perfectly fine with bumping into you.

Rats walk around along the wall. Touching them does not damage you. You can ride on top of them, which gives you a foothold, but you cannot hold them. Be careful, as you may be pushed and dropped down.
