Dire Rats are basic brown rat enemies that first appear in Final Fantasy XII. They also have a stronger variant named Lab Rats.

In Final Fantasy XII, Dire Rats only appear in the Garamsythe Waterway. At the start of the game, Vaan is hunting some Dire Rats, but is interrupted by Kytes, who tells him to leave the area before someone discovers them. Vaan decides to kill three more Dire Rats (during which the player controls him in battle), and he then leaves Garamsythe Waterway with Kytes.

Bestiary entry[edit]

  • Genus: Beast
  • Classification: Rat
Observations

"Being a manner of vile and verminous beastie, much favoring the fetid stench of the sewers and making their nest therein. Past attempts at eradications to contain the plagues these pests are known to carry have greatly reduced their numbers, yet a preternatural rate of reproduction has kept the strain from extinction. And so they remain, an ever-popular subject for natural philosophers keen to fathom the secrets of their indomitable constitution."

Today's Recommendation

"The rat tail: a cheap reagent for all your potion-crafting needs. And that's not all: some aficionados say they're quite tasty fried with a little cactus butter! The large volume disappearing from merchant's stalls would seem to confirm their popularity. Rumor has it that, which the right spices, the flavor can only be described as 'transcendent.' I, for one, am not so sure I'm quite ready to transcend."
