Awwww.. how'd that baby new york city subway rat wander so far from home?


SQUEAK! SQUEAK? SQUEAK.


RAT-BURGER! Who want a Rat-Burger?


Pfft. I had a pet rat that size. His name was Bear.


Trigger warning if stuff like this makes you sad :(


The true horror would be if people started breeding cats for size, intelligence and aggression.

Well, here are the size and intelligence parts. As for the aggression, I can testify that a Coonie plays a mean game of Blanket Monster.

Or did you mean rats?

Well, I tend to favour Norwegian kitties, so I do know about big, but it is still not what I am talking about here. I am talking about hundred pound cats with brains, claws and tempers. You know, like a Rottweiler cat? Scary doesn't even come close...


That's not a dire rat. Since rats in pathfinder are tiny, they are the same size category as cats. That rat clearly is the size of a small cat at best. Ergo, perfectly ordinary Bestiary rat.


They look more like Halfling Rogues than Human Rangers.

Maybe it was a baby dire rat?

Ratpocalypse? Oooh...*writes down for Pathfinder Campaign*


If you look at the pictures carefully, you will note that they are taken to make the rat look bigger than it really is. The first one the rat is held closer to the camera than everything else making it look big, and the second is an extreme close up.

Bigger rat

Biggest rat

RPG Superstar 2008 Top 32

Even bigger rat (but still arguably tiny by size category)

On the other hand, the Capybara can weigh as much as a person, so has skipped over into the small end of Medium.

Of real rodents, Beavers are probably closest to Dire Rats in size, but a beaver and a rat aren't really directly comparable.


Beavers are awesome animals, though.

Oh, we have plenty of those around here. We call them mountain lions.


Yeah... But housecat mountain lions. I.e. Do not necessarily avoid humans, and people can have them as pets.


Sombody look up the savannah cat. It puts the coon to shame.


That's the biggest rat I've ever seen. The one our cat dragged back home some years ago was only about 3/4 that size.

Mark our words, one day we will be the true rulers of the earth!


SQUEAK.


But never will you rule the trees!


Wanna bet?

If you're willing to get a little more wild... how about a fishing cat?


Holy cow. That tuxie cat looks just about identical to mine.

...and people laughed when we Canadians made the beaver our national animal. Not so funny now,eh?
