Sewer rats are found in the sewers of Bloodriven Village. The sewers can be accessed by purchasing entry from the SimuCoin store when Duskruin Arena is open.

Rat

Analyze

You analyze your sewer rat and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item has restrictions on changing the noun."

The creator has also provided the following information:

You could probably get a streaked sewer rat groomed by a special groomer, but groomers are not miracle workers.
It will likely still look dirty or grimy, and would probably bite off your hand if you tried putting silly hats or bows on it.

You could probably get it to be less loud by THUMPing it, or you could make it more excited by POKEing it.
If you find the sewer rat is becoming too annoying, confine it to a designated rat sack.

You can tell that the rat is as light as it can get.

Usage

Verb Style First Third
FEED Hand/worn The sewer rat grabs the cubes of juicy beef from your hand and drops to the ground, scurrying off and watching everybody with a wary distrustfulness as it begins to gnaw on the beef.

The sewer rat gnaws voraciously at some tiny cubes of juicy beef, its eyes darting back and forth, scanning for potential threats.

Finished with some tiny cubes of juicy beef, the sewer rat makes a cursory pass of its paws over its whiskers, browsing the ground for any remaining crumbs.

KICK Ground First Person View Person kicks at a sewer rat and it scurries quickly out of the way, baring its yellowed teeth menacingly at her.
PET Hand/worn The sewer rat submits to your condescending pat, hissing with suppressed irritation at you. Third Person View
POKE Hand/worn You poke animatedly at the sewer rat, but in its agitation, it just bites in a frenzied state back at you. Person pokes at the sewer rat, the high-strung creature snapping at his/her fingers in agitation.
PUT Hand/worn You tuck your sewer rat into its {container} and it curls up to go to sleep.

REMOVE Hand/worn You reach up and snag a sewer rat, pulling the creature off your shoulder. Person reaches up and snags a sewer rat, pulling the creature off his/her shoulder.
RUB Hand/worn You thoroughly muss the sewer rat's fur and it squirms out from under your hand, hissing with restrained ire as it begins to try to attend to its matted fur with an affronted air. Third Person View
THUMP Hand/worn You give the sewer rat a solid and warning thump, conveying your displeasure. The rat hisses a bit but seems more quiet and wary around you. Third Person View
TICKLE Hand/worn You slide your finger idly along the fur between your sewer rat's ears, and the creature flattens them with annoyance but otherwise ignores the caress. Third Person View
TICKLE Ground You wiggle your fingers invitingly at the sewer rat, trying to entice it over for some petting. The rat gives you a long suffering look before shuffling closer for a brief stroking between its ears. Third Person View
WEAR Hand/worn You carefully place a sewer rat on your shoulder. Person carefully places a sewer rat on his/her shoulder.

Sack

The sack, often a coarse burlap sack, is the sewer rat's resting place. If the rat will not enter its sack, be sure the sack is open, then clean the sack and try again. 

LOOK IN SACK: The burlap sack is stuffed with a variety of shredded up paper and cloth, formed to make a crude smelly nest. Curled up inside the makeshift nest is a sewer rat.

CLEAN SACK (Third Person View): Person rummages around inside a coarse burlap sack, pulling out and discarding a few handfuls of foul smelling detritus.

Analyze

You analyze your burlap sack and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type should not change."

The creator has also provided the following information:
This burlap sack is designed to hold a dirty pet rodent.
This item can be freely altered as long as it remains some kind of small belt-worn pouch or container.

You can tell that the cage is as light as it can get, but you might be able to have a talented merchant deepen its pockets for you.

Alteration Guidelines

  • Rats can only be altered via Sadie Scroll, due to the possibility of having to go through QC.
  • There is no hard list of what nouns rats can be altered into, but most anything that can be described as a 'rodent'.
  • Rodent sacks don't have to be altered, but if you do, it would be separate from the rat alteration.
  • Tails and pick-up locations can be changed to make sense with the noun that the rat is being altered to.
  • Due to only be alterable via Sadie Scroll, if you want your rodent to have both a long and a show, you would need to have two separate alterations done.
  • After altering a rat using a Sadie Scroll you will need to use the CLEAN verb to have the rat return to it's sack.
