Trivia

• Some rats found in the Crystal Desert maps are considerably larger than in most other locations. This is likely a homage to Jahai Rats, the ranger pet from the original Guild Wars.
  • Rats of that size can also be found in Cantha.
• Rat is one of the 12 zodiac animals celebrated during the Lunar New Year.
