	*Size - Hitpoints		*'''Size''' - Hitpoints
			*'''Speed''' - Attack Speed
			*'''Aggression''' - Attack Damage

			Fighting skills amongst rats are mechanically the same regardless of these traits.

			To initiate a rat battle, use the [ratbattle command and target another player. If that player has a rat, you will both receive a prompt to set up the battle and choose your fighters. Once both players confirm, the rats will be spawned on the ground and fight to the death.
