HAMLET [Drawing his sword.]: How now! a rat? Dead, for a ducat, dead [Stabs through the arras.]
-William Shakespeare, _The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark_, III, 4. 1603.

Useful Info

A green rat is slightly tougher than a regular rat and leaves a poisonous corpse, but is still pretty weak. They can be found in small numbers in the Sewer, and in large swarms throughout the Lair.

Tips & Tricks

They tend to come in packs, but since they have no resistances, standard crowd control tactics will work.

History

Green rats will be replaced with river rats in 0.16.
