Waste rat

A waste rat is an animal added by the Biotech DLC.

Summary

Waste rats are rodents that are able to spawn on polluted maps that are considered moderately polluted or more. Unlike normal rats, waste rats have a rather high 50% revenge chance as well as a 20% chance to revenge when a handler fails to tame them. Attacks from waste rats are capable of inflicting toxic buildup.

Waste rats have 100% Toxic Environment Resistance rendering them immune to environmental effects such as rot stink and toxic buildup from non-attack sources..

Analysis

On heavily polluted maps, waste rats may be a more reliable source of food thanks to their environmental toxic immunity, so long as your colonists are careful; much like cobras, attacks from waste rats can poison your colonists with toxic buildup.
