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. [[Damage Types#Toxic bite|Bites]] from waste rats are capable of inflicting toxic buildup at a rate of 1.5% per damage inflicted. 

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.
