Labyrinth Rats are enemies in Bloodborne. While hardly a threat one-on-one, these vermin travel in packs in the labyrinth. A pack of plague-ridden rats can take turns pouncing the Hunter with toxic fangs.
Rats are fairly common in Yharnam sewers, and can also be found in large numbers in Chalice dungeons. Pthumerian dungeons at lower depths have their fair share of these creatures, and variants are also found in dungeons of higher difficulty.
Strategy
- The rats do a forward rush and lunge that can be deadly for new hunters. They will rear up before they attack.
- Rats are easily flanked and have no way to attack you until they are facing you again.
- Fast weapons are advised.
- Fighting them one by one is preferred.
- In the Yharnam sewers, players will be able to see them from above. This gives an opportunity for molotovs or knives to take them out.
Rat Information
These enemies have some variants, like rats exuding poisonous fumes, or ones with white lumps on their backs. The fumes mean they're poisonous and can drop high lvl poison gems, the lumps are cosmetic.

A strategy I use is R2 charge attack with Holy Moonlight sword UNTRANSFORMED, it's pretty reliable.

The rat design in Bloodborne is the best of any Fromsoft game. And that sniffing they do when you get close is just brilliant.

"The lumps are purely cosmetic." I'm pretty sure the ones with lumps build up rapid poison?

Or are they crazy people wearing beasts skins and bones as a disguise?
I don't know if this is a confirmable fact or not, but I've noticed that if I die to a pack of rats or in the room where a pack spawns: once a rat picks up your blood echoes, they seem to hang back from the rest of the pack and not attack you. It's very odd and no other enemies seem to do this but it happens fairly consistently and is relatively reproducible. Even once you kill every other rat in the room and walk directly up to the one with your echoes it won't attack you for at least a few moments.
