'''Rats''' are creatures that mainly appear in the ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land'' series]], namely in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' and ''[[Wario Land 2]]''. They have rodent-like traits but their appearance and behaviour differs between the two games. However, they share the fact that they oppose [[Wario]] in some way.

Rats reappear in the sequel, but behave very different and also show a completely different appearance. They look more like actual rats, swowing a red colour and are also noteably smaller than in the previous game. They emerge from mouseholes and attack Wario by tackling him. The attack is too weak to do any damage and Wario will only bounce back a few steps, but in certain areas, this can be a hindrance when they bounce Wario off of a small platform. It is noteably that rats cannot be stunned by Wario's ramming attack and thus cannot be picked up and carried around. When Wario defeats a rat, a new one will respawn after the player re-approaches the mousehole.
Rats bear a slight resemblance to [[Little Mouser]]s in ''Wario Land 2''
==Trivia==
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', [[Jolene]] told [[Grubba]] that the disturbance in the [[Glitz Pit]] storeroom must have been due to a "rat or something" (which was probably a pun on [[Ms. Mowz]]' presence in that room). This explanation calmed Grubba, implying that a rat, or at least certain rats, are common pests in the [[Mushroom World]].

If an acceptable name is found, then the article should be moved to the new title.
