Bad Rat is an enemy in Pizza Tower.

Description

Bad Rat is a rat similar to the Stupid Rats encountered throughout the game, albeit with a dark blue tail, more oversized and pointier ears, messier whiskers, and googly eyes. Its nose is also rounder and black, with no visible nostrils.

Behavior

Bad Rat crawls around. Once it spots the player, it will momentarily stare and squint at them, seemingly confused as to what it's looking at, before attacking the player by opening its mouth and lunging forwards. After the attack, it will fall flat on it's face.

Trivia

• Bad Rat uses Gustavo and Brick's animations as a placeholder in the Rework build. It also cannot be killed.
• Bad Rat's have a slightly higher IQ than stupid rats, and traded their defense stats for higher IQ and the ability to attack
• Bad Rat's stunned animation bears resemblance to Stupid Rat's idle animation, although this may be unintentional.
• Bad Rat has it's own design as a Flush.
