Rat

Rats are small, omnivorous rodents belonging to the genus Rattus. These common and prolific creatures can be found in many planes. They are often Plague - and Disease Carriers (Pestilence Rats, Diseased Vermin). All Rats are black, sometimes with Red as second color. They often appear in large numbers.

The first card to bear the creature type Rat was Plague Rats in Alpha.
