What are the circumstances of me fighting this rat?

If I'm facing it head on I'm probably fine, but if I'm there is a chance an 80 pound rat can surprise attack me, it'll probably knock me over and start biting through me before I can do anything to stop it.

You fight head in, but how do you think you are going to stop the rat from jumping in your face and mauling you.

The jaws of a rat can exert 12 tons per square inch. Great white sharks bite 2 tons per square inch. Rats can chew through bricks.

This.

At 80 pound rat is gonna rio through your tissue and muscle like wax paper and probably take a bit of bone with it.

I'm twice its weight and have a reach advantage. A proper kick to it's head as it comes at you would stun it, if not outright kill the thing.

So I have to kill one of those Skeevers from Skyrim. Doable, but the diseases they spread are worse than any direct physical injury they could inflict.

http://www.pctonline.com/article/-fact-or-fiction--the-tooth-of-the-rat/

[...]
Using an instrument called a force transducer (the same type of tool as in the gator study, just a lot smaller), the investigators measured the biting force of the three primary rodent enemies of cabling: gray squirrel, pocket gopher and Norway rat. And (drum roll, please) what did they find? They discovered that rats bite with an average pressure of about 1 pound. You read right 1 pound of pressure. Gophers were almost identical, but squirrels were relative brutes, weighing in at nearly 3 pounds of bite force.

The authors didnt end there. They measured gnawing rates (the average was one-and-a-half bites per second) and concluded that typical chewing behavior is kind of a scraping action that applies only one-half or less of the maximum bite force. They studied damage to various types of cable sheathing, hypothesized two types of material failure depending on its hardness, and recommended guidelines for selecting the most reliable rodent-resistant cable armor. As an applied science aficionado, I was enthralled.

And then well dash it all, they just couldnt resist pressing the critters incisors onto a thin plastic film, measuring the actual knife-edge biting surface under a microscope, and doing the math to come up with those wacky extrapolated figures. Why, in the very first paragraph of their paper, we find out that rats can bite with 7,000 psi and squirrels can do it at 22,000 psi! The rest is history. These are undeniably sexy numbers, and have thus been passed down through the decades as bona fide rodent attributes. What isnt mentioned is that the figures are valid only for rodents with an incisor edge the width of your thumb, which would be a rat roughly the size of a rhinoceros.

Looks like it's only about 2.5 tons per sq.in. on a rhinoceros size rat.

80 lbs would likely be mid dog level biting power. Seems squirrels would be worse.

Is the rat 80 pounds because it has abnormally large bones and muscles, or because it's incredibly obese?


This question needs to be answered before I respond.


It's just scaled up. Imagine a normal rat but it got hit by a growth ray.

RPG in general.

Killing rats in the basement is the stereotypical first quest.
