You Dirty Rat!	comment	In fiction, mice are often portrayed as sympathetic characters. They are always cute, nice, and sometimes even sweet, but often they are also portrayed as honest, brave, and forthright. Rats, on the other hand (possibly because of certain historical events,note Recently, however, some scholars have challenged the widely-spread belief that rats were the main vector of the plague, arguing instead that fleas and lice were the main culprits for human-to-human transmission. though Evil Is Bigger may also be in play here), are traditionally Always Chaotic Evil and Squick in European culture. Also, a mouse is apparently helpless while a rat can bite back hard (and sometimes does discourage a cat who is too pampered and not a real hunter). Consequently, if a cat or an elephant is chasing a mouse, the cat or the elephant is almost always the villain; if the cat or the elephant is chasing a rat, he's almost always the hero. Fictional rats are typically rangier and leaner than the chubbier or fluffier designs used for mice, and also tend to be colored black or dark gray in contrast to the lighter colors used for mice, emphasizing the moral contrast between the two sorts of rodents. A rat might also be literally dirty and more disease-ridden compared to mice. Also, as a fan noted on comments for B-movie reviewing site Jabootu's glossary, when a few rats appear in a scene to illustrate how an area is dark, dirty, and/or otherwise foreboding, they'll likely remain in plain sight as people are near, when in reality, non-pet rats are more prone to hiding or scurrying away, and/or have canned sound effects of squeaking present - which rats, at least those hiding from potential threats, don't really make, either. Could be seen as a type of Fantastic Racism. See also Nice Mice, Resourceful Rodent, A Mischief of Mice and Swarm of Rats. Rat Men, Rat Kings or Rodents of Unusual Size can be even worse. A Rat Stomp is when rats become one of the first monsters to face a newbie adventurer in an RPG. Compare with Cats Are Mean, Beware of Vicious Dog and Reptiles Are Abhorrent. Screwball Squirrel is this trope but as a squirrel. Bat Out of Hell is probably related, as bats are seen as similar to rats. May also scare the crap out of Honorable Elephants and/or (in case of Evil Versus Evil) Cruel Elephants. Subtrope of What Measure Is a Non-Cute?. For other similarly gross animals, see Messy Maggots, Pesky Pigeons and Smelly Skunk. Trope Namer is a quote wrongly attributed to James Cagney. The actual quote, for those who are wondering, is "That dirty double-crossing rat!". Real Life dirty rats do exist, especially those from sewers (and sometimes come with Swarm of Rats).

You Dirty Rat! / int_10346672	comment	In Tooth and Tail, all of the playable commanders are rats, and the species seems to be in charge of society as a whole. While none of them can be said to be exactly good or evil due to the very dark Grey-and-Gray Morality at play, they are all culturally dedicated to eating meat (despite being omnivorous) in a world where all animals are sapient, and just fine with eating a Slave Race they've bred for slaughter or even each other if necessary or as revenge.

That's just their ways. In Wizardry 8 some work with the party against Big Bad — it turns out that NPC followed him to another planet to avenge for crossing them on Guardia back in VII.

He Rhymes on a Dime and is bigger than the other rats, but he's swayed when Rocky the dachshund starts boasting about their long journey so far. This impresses Longtooth so much that he admits that he's faked his rhyming dialect and shows his support for the traveling dogs, even promising to spread the word to his fellow rats. It's played a little more straight in The Long Road, with Flicktail and his rats. They've heard of Rocky and the tales he told and worship him like a god. But Flicktail doesn't want the dogs to leave so that they can hear stories, so they keep the traveling dogs (and a labradoodle named Whitey) as prisoners-slash-guests.

Pettigrew, of course, was the traitor who sold Harry's parents to Lord Voldemort. He's even described as rat-like when he's in human form. This takes inspiration from Rowling's sister's phobia. Rowling herself doesn't mind rats. There is also a chapter that has magical rats showing off in a store, playing jump rope with their tails, so not every rat is portrayed as villainous.

On several occasions they team up with human crooks to commit extortion, theft, or other dirty deeds. In one later book, they go so far as to stage a full-blown fascist coup to take over the Bean Farm and install Simon as dictator.

You Dirty Rat! / int_468bebb0	comment	Examined on both sides in the so-called "young adult" Discworld novel, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents. Contains children's-book rats in waistcoats, rats who spoil human food supplies with urine, rats who tap-dance, rats who kill other rats and devour their corpses, telepathic rats, rats who make deals with cats, and rats who manipulate humanity's fear of rats to their advantage. Now guess which rats are the good rats. The correct answer being: all of them except the telepathic rats. Much earlier, Pratchett depicted Lord Vetinari cutting a deal with the Palace's rats when he was confined to its dungeons in Guards! Guards!. Although they sometimes made mistakes fetching items because they couldn't read, they stuck to their end of the bargain in exchange for his tactical advice in their battles with the dungeon's snakes and scorpions. In Reaper Man, Death acquires a sidekick, the Death of Rats, whose form sort of implies rats are similar to humans, as they conceptualize Death by anthropomorphizing it, rather than by picturing something that causes their deaths (i.e. the mayflies see Death as a trout.) Perhaps not Rats Are Good, but definitely Rats Are Smart, or Rats Are Like Us. "Anything so much like a human has to have a soul."

You Dirty Rat! / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: Wererats are canonically Always Lawful Evil. And then there's Planescape's Cranium Rats — one isn't smarter than a normal rodent, but their telepathic abilities bind their little powers and intellects into a Hive Mind, so a pack of three dozen can cast minor spells, half a hundred are as smart as an average human, and so on. They're Neutral Evil, and some or all of them are spies of illithid god Ilsensine. Normal rats have a True Neutral alignment like all non-intelligent animals. However, they're also one of the only animals (bats being the other) that are willing to become a Familiar to an Always Chaotic Evil Vampire.

He's a drug-dealing mobster who shoots pornos (and considers making a Snuff Film when his lead male actor dies), murders people, tries to rape Lucille the Poodle, smokes, eats the corpses of a character's dead pets in front of him and is quite the Jerkass to his fellow employees (save for his boss, Mr. Bletch, and Barry, another mobster). He even looks like a dirty rat, and is literally (and rightfully) called one by Robert. The fact that Trevor's voice is based on that of Peter Lorre only seems to capitalize this trope. Overall, Trevor has no redeeming qualities, so it's no surprise if you find yourself cheering and/or laughing when he gets shredded like a salad by a machine-gun.

You Dirty Rat! / int_929cef3c	comment	Tamora Pierce's The Immortals series deals with the adventures of a young girl, Daine, who can speak to animals (and later take their forms) due to her magic. These books commonly feature animals against which humans have prejudices based on nothing more than myths or their own perceptions - Daine is frequently outraged by people's assumptions and quick to correct them. Many traditional villains, such as wolves, hyenas, bats, and crocodiles are treated sympathetically and shown to be quite different to the way they're perceived. Rats, however, get the standard trope treatment even in these animal-advocate stories - they are vicious, dirty, generally unpleasant, and hate Daine despite the fact that her magic means all other animals instantly love her (this is never explained). They are probably the only animals in all four books that are portrayed negatively.

A Rat Stomp, be it an official quest or simply running into rats as one of the first enemies, is a series' tradition as an early game staple. In Oblivion, this is Inverted in an early Fighters Guild quest. You have to save a woman's beloved pet rats from hungry mountain lions. Skyrim: Skyrim replaces standard rats with Skeevers, which are even bigger, uglier, and filthier. A Thieves' Guild quests pits you against a wizard who went crazy trying to convince people that Skeevers are awesome. He now plots to overrun Whiterun with a swarm of mutated venomous Skeevers. Interestingly, it seems that Skeevers aren't always bad either. The owner of the Winking Skeever Inn in Solitude named the inn in memory of his beloved childhood pet Skeever. In his quest, Peryite, the Daedric Prince of Pestilence and Tasks, fittingly manifests in the form of a swarm of ghostly Skeevers.

You Dirty Rat! / int_9f2fe1ec	comment	Ultimately subverted in the world of Realms of Pugmire. From the perspectives of dogs and cats, as found in both Pugmire and Monarchies of Mau, rats are effectively shifty, lowly criminals (although, in the latter, the story "All Hail The Rat King!" reveals more positive rat figures, like Meeka Chase). However, in the spinoff sourcebook Squeaks in the Deep, itâ€™s shown that they mainly play this role due to being on the lowest end of the social ladder, and growing a sense of cynicism from the ways theyâ€™ve been treated by other species. In fact, mice are often treated better than rats directly because of the more harmless way mice seem, which only causes rats to be even more distrustful towards non-rodents. Not helping is the cult of Labo Tor, which does play this trope straight (although the members also include mice). Ultimately, cynical demeanor or not, rats, like any playable animal, are just as likely to be good or evil as any other.

That is, they like the "clink-clink" people carry, and will do anything to get it. Essentially the Near-Eastern version of Goblins, just more peaceful. The Burmecians of Final Fantasy IX are anthropomorphic rodents. The word 'Rat' appears to be a derogatory term for them, but they are mostly on the side of good. The Qiqurn of Final Fantasy XIV are the same as in XI. But unfortunately, the gradually worsening view on beastmen in Eorzia has left very few of them who are still honest merchants, and most have them have turned to banditry as a result.

The werewolves don't like this; they wouldn't mind being able to get to and from the Shadow more easily, but the Beshilu are so filthy that they practically breed spirits of disease and madness, which then jump right through the Gauntlet holes, meaning anywhere they go is a hotbed for plagues and destruction.

That said, she was appointed by the Gods to be The Leader of the Council, meaning she is responsible for maintaining order among the five. Sure enough, the first Council session (involving all five members of the Council in one stream) had her as the one that directed the agenda and gave a semblance of order to the event; the other members even acknowledged Baelz was the most responsible out of all of them despite her saying otherwise.

Demon rats are a further variant that mutated from devil rats during the Year of the Comet, distinguished from devil rats by possessing fur, short horns, and corrosive saliva, but retaining their ancestors' vicious attitudes and immunity to poison. They also possess opposable thumbs and are smart enough to open latches and simple doors, and are chiefly predatory animals who only scavenge when all else fails. Additional variants of demon rats exist, including one that carries the VITAS virus and another capable of regeneration. Somewhat averted with followers of the Rat Totem. While these followers tend to be greedy and tend towards being The Pig-Pen and Combat Pragmatists, Rat is definitely not a Toxic Totem.

However, it ends up subverted—Mausinger was a dear friend of the king's who worked with him to end the oppression of his people, who had been discriminated against by the cat people for generations, but he was manipulated by outside forces into thinking the only way to end the cycle was with a coup. He is ultimately forgiven both by Evan and Leonhard, and becomes a just ruler in his own right.

He's got the Jerkass behavior to boot, and usually acts as a recurring antagonist of Mickey and his friends, usually in the earlier shorts and in House of Mouse. His plans usually consist of him trying to take away Minnie from Mickey, and overall being an annoyance to them most of the time.

You Dirty Rat! / int_f634206e	comment	Ratatouille: Averted. The main character is Remy, an intelligent, urbane rat with a gourmand's taste in food and the ability to cook like a classically trained chef. Of course, most of the other rats are classless, tactless layabouts, but at least they aren't evil. Furthermore, when they offer to help in the kitchen, Remy makes them all clean up in the dishwasher resulting in a bunch of squeaky clean rats. Averted even further in the Spin-Off short, "Your Friend the Rat", in which Remy and Emile try to argue for the reconciliation of humans and rats, using historical facts presented to various styles of animation. Among other things, they explain that The Plague was actually caused by fleas that got attached to black rats, not by the rats themselves, and in fact, the brown, or Norway, rat, the kind of rat that Remy and Emile are, had supposedly helped to end the Plague. And then this is alternately played with and double-subverted during the end credits, when a cautionary message allegedly from the clip's producers scrolls by to remind the audience that rats are vicious, unsanitary, pestilent vermin, and anyone who interacts with them do so at their own risk, as Remy and Emile can be heard vigorously protesting in the background.

You Dirty Rat! / int_f655ed11	comment	For some reason Frasier and Niles Crane are both squicked badly by Daphne's description of the show rats she used to raise. All they can think of is the rats of the Black Plague, despite the fact they are both mental health professionals who should be familiar with the use of rats in psychological and medical studies. It's also worth noting that Daphne, the supposed expert ("When it comes to rats, you're in my house!"), gets her facts wrong here, claiming the plague was spread by 'the common brown rat,' not her show rats. In fact, show rats are domesticated brown rats, and it is the black rat that was associated with the plague (actually spread by fleas, not the rats themselves). In another episode it's revealed that Frasier and Niles were themselves named for their mother's lab rats, much to their displeasure.

For instance, having discovered a flaw in their (like everyone else, designer) genetic code, they decided to get around it and boost their egos by voluntarily only breeding to a certain appearance so that they all look identical and claim pride in "unity". Much more distressingly, one MegaCorp stumbled upon a way to create Mice and was attempting to turn them into a Slave Race. That said, this being a cyberpunk setting, said Mice, upon gaining their freedom are not very nice, either...
