Description
Giant Rat is a Wildlife Creature in Elden Ring. Giant Rats are hostile creatures even if not attacked, and are usually seen in abandoned areas or within caves. They vary in size, ranging from small normal-sized Rats, to large human-sized Rats. These rodent creatures may very well attack alone, but will often charge in groups, therefore making them a considerable threat.
A group of Giant Rats can be summoned for aid as spirits by using the Giant Rat Ashes.
