Sprats

Sprats are a rat-like creature found across every human colony world.Sprat Hide: "Did you know that sprats are found on every human colony world? Did you care?" Sprat is an abbreviated contraction of Space Rat.Ethel Gaibler: "You know what sprats are? Space-rats. The laboratories of Spacer's Choice found a use for this limitless frontier resource."
== Biology ==
Sprats are small, gecko-like creatures that are often treated as vermin by the residents of the Halcyon Colony, to the point that mechanical sentries have been deployed in the sewers beneath Byzantium to exterminate them. They can be found in settlements and camps across Terra 2, Monarch and even remote asteroids like Gorgon. They are also present onboard vessels like Groundbreaker. Sprats are known to sometimes mutate into Mega Sprats, a Mega version of sprat that is larger and has considerably higher stats than its smaller cousins. Named versions of Mega Sprats can be found throughout the game, and a possible spawn location for an unnamed Mega Sprat is underneath the Edgewater Landing Pad.
Sprats are voracious omnivores and are known to occasionally attack humans if there are enough sprats to swarm.TTD description
