RAT

RAT (or Rat) is an NPC that can be found in-game and will rarely enter the elevator.
==Appearance ==
RAT has the appearance of a typical grey or brown rat. However, the NPC has bulging, desaturated blue eyes with desaturated yellow sclerae. The NPC also has a black button nose and a sharp pink rat tail, and is also bigger than an average rat.
==Description==
Upon entering the Random Maze floor, several variants of this NPC will spawn scattered across the maze. They will then scurry around the maze, and will give players who touch them the Rat Poison effect which lasts for 10 seconds. 
During the effect, a player's HP will decrease by 5 every second until the effect is over, but stops at 15 HP. One of the RATs also has a chance to enter the elevator. Upon it entering the elevator, touching it will give players the aforementioned effect.
