A Rat is a monster that can be found roaming throughout Gielinor in RuneScape Classic. Their combat level varies and there are two visual varieties of rat:

• Small rats are found in most major cities and dungeons. They can be chased by kittens and cats.
• Large rats (called Giant rats in RuneScape 2) are found in dungeons and many other areas. Large rats drop Raw rat meat upon dying.

A Rat is also an NPC that shows up during the Witch's House quest. The rat acts as the witch's security system to lock and unlock her backdoor.
