Description

Death Rats are Entities that can be found in various Levels of The Backrooms.

They seem to have inhabited the Backrooms for many years, starting out as normal rats and slowly changing to better suit their climate.

Death Rats vary in abilities, as they evolve their bodies and abilities to adapt to various Levels. (Example: In most levels like Level 1, the Entities seem to have this "Screaming Event". On rare occasions, you can hear screaming, not from people, but from Rats chasing other Entities. Lights will flicker during this event, until the Death Rat stops or the Entity is terminated.)

However, some species are very dangerous and will even set traps for you. They are smarter than you think.
