'''Giant rats''' are low level vermin. These are often fought by low level players because of their low combat level, accessibility, and the fact that they drop bones and [[raw rat meat]], which can be cooked over a fire and consumed to restore [[life points]]. The level 6 rats are aggressive to players who have a combat level less than 13.

Previous to sometime around the Living rock Caverns update, there were no level 2 giant rats. Currently there are now several level two giant rats in the Varrock sewers. Level 2 giant rats also can be found under [[Daemonheim]] while [[Dungeoneering]].

==Locations==
*[[Melzar's Maze]]
*[[Tutorial Island]]'s dungeon (inaccessible)
*[[Stronghold of Security]]
*[[Varrock sewers|Varrock Sewers]]
*South-west of [[Port Sarim]]
*[[Grand tree mine]]
*Behind [[Lumbridge]] Castle
*[[Lumbridge Swamp]]
*On the path to the [[East Varrock Mine]]
*[[Wilderness]] Levels 1-5 north of [[Varrock]] castle - 6 rats
*In the pen south of Varrock
*[[Edgeville dungeon]]
*[[Daemonheim]] ([[Dungeoneering]] only)

==Drops==

'''Notes:'''
[[File:Giant Rats.png|thumb|A pen full of giant rats, found south of varrock.|300px]]
*Raw rat meat is not dropped on [[tutorial island]], inside of [[Daemonheim]], or in [[Melzar's Maze]]. Also, level 6 giant rats in [[Lumbridge Swamp]] as well as the one on the path leading to [[East Varrock Mine]] only drop raw rat meat occasionally.
*Giant rats in the stronghold of security do not always drop raw rat meat
*Giant rat bone can only be obtained after starting [[Rag and Bone Man]] [[quest]].
*Giant rats '''do''' drop [[Rat's tail]]s during [[Witch's Potion]].

==Trivia==
*Giant rats are one of the few [[RuneScape]] [[monsters]] that blink.
*Giant rats were [[graphically updated]] in [[2006]] and later graphically updated again in [[2011]].
*Before [[Tutorial Island]] was replaced the giant rat was the first animal a [[player]] would kill.
*Usually the low level Giant Rats have light fur while the higher levels have dark fur.

==Glitches==
If you kill a Giant Rat next to a "Rat-Hole" near Port Sarim, there is a chance of the dropped items appearing e.

If you let a rat out of the cage south of Varrock then close the gate there is a chance it will get trapped.
