Albino Rat
The Albino Rat is a rare variant of the common Marsupial Rat found in the Sewers (levels 1-4) of Remixed Dungeon. Marsupial rats are aggressive, but rather weak denizens of the sewers. They can be dangerous only in big numbers. This particular rat seems to be an albino. It also has abnormally sharp teeth.
Overview
Albino rats are much rarer variants of the common Marsupial Rat. While still relatively weak individually, they possess a special ability that can make them significantly more dangerous than normal rats - they cause bleeding damage to their target when attacking.
Stats
Abilities
Combat Tactics
Albino rats follow the same simple AI patterns as regular rats, moving toward the player and attacking when adjacent. However, their bleeding attack makes them more threatening than normal rats, especially if multiple hits occur in succession.
Occurrence
Primary Location: Found in Sewers level
Spawn Frequency: Rare variant
Group Behavior: Usually found alone or in small groups
Variant Type: Albino rats are the bleeding variant of the common rat
Strategy
Defeating them quickly is important to avoid sustained bleeding damage
Consider using armor or other damage reduction to minimize the bleeding effect
Avoid being surrounded by multiple albino rats as the bleeding damage stacks
Use ranged weapons or spells to pick them off from a safe distance
Prioritize healing if engaged in combat with multiple albino rats
Special Notes
Like normal rats, their death can trigger quest checks for multiple NPCs (Scarecrow, Ghost, and Plague Doctor quests)
The bleeding effect can stack if multiple albino rats hit repeatedly
Despite being rare, they're still early-game enemies suitable for low-level characters
They follow the same basic AI as common rats but with the added danger of bleed damage
Defeating an Albino Rat earns a special badge (RARE_ALBINO)
