====== Black Rat ======

{{ rpd:images:blackrat_sprite.png|Black Rat }}

==== Description ====
Just a common house rat, not marsupial. The Black Rat is a custom mob implemented via JSON configuration to demonstrate mob creation capabilities for modders. It is functionally similar to other rat variants but with distinct appearance and properties.

==== Stats ====
  * **HP (HT):** 5
  * **Defense Skill:** 1
  * **Attack Skill:** 10
  * **Damage:** 1-1
  * **Armor (DR):** 1
  * **EXP:** 1
  * **Max Level:** 1
  * **Speed:** 2x normal speed
  * **View Distance:** 1
  * **Attack Delay:** 1

==== Behavior ====
  * Very fast movement speed (2x normal)
  * Low attack and defense capabilities
  * Drops Rat Hide as loot (100% chance)
  * Thief-like behavior: steals items from hero when attacking (inherits behavior from ScriptedThief.lua)

==== Implementation ====
The Black Rat demonstrates custom mob creation through JSON configuration files:
  * Defined in: [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/assets/mobsDesc/BlackRat.json|mobsDesc/BlackRat.json]]
  * Uses sprite: [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/assets/spritesDesc/BlackRat.json|spritesDesc/BlackRat.json]] (uses rat.png texture)
  * Scripted behavior: [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/assets/scripts/mobs/ScriptedThief.lua|scripts/mobs/ScriptedThief.lua]]

==== Content Verification ====
* Information source: JSON configuration files (mobsDesc/BlackRat.json, spritesDesc/BlackRat.json)
* Stats verification: Extracted directly from JSON configuration
* Implementation details: Based on JSON file structure
* Last updated: December 2025, source: Remixed Dungeon 1.9.3
