Rat (Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland)

Rats are common enemies early in Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. Although similar to the Rats of normal Zelda games, they appear to be unrelated, and behave much more like wild animals.

Shiyou Rat
Shiyou Rats (potentially translated as Resource Rat) are the weakest and most common variety of rat, found in Hometown Prairie, Sunshine Seashore and the Pirate Hideaway. They are not aggressive and tend to avoid Tingle if he goes near them. They are the weakest enemy in the game and regularly drop Bones. One of the Pirates owns a pet rat called Ratty.

Chu Rat
Chu Rats are larger versions of Shiyou Rats and also appear in Hometown Prairie and Sunshine Seashore. They are much more aggressive than the smaller variety and squeak and charge at Tingle when they see him. They are stronger as well, but aside from that they are largely the same.

Rotten Rat
Rotten Rats are found only in the Pirate Hideaway. They are dark purple in color and aggressive in nature, and much stronger than any other kind of rat. They also only drop Rupees when defeated.

Gold Rat
Gold Rats are found rarely at the Hometown Prairie in place of Shiyou Rats. As with all rare gold enemies, they will drop a large number of Rupees when defeated.
