Parasite Eve-Rat Transformation

Strategy

Rats are fairly easy creatures to handle, especially when they are on their own. Their greatest ability due to their changed mitochondria is that they can send out three fireballs from their tails but have a remarkably fast bite if you get too close. The fireballs are easy enough to dodge if you stand directly between them, while it's usually best to stay away from them to avoid the bites. Theater rats shoot fireballs wherever they're facing, but later versions will face you before attacking. Towards the end of the game the rats get bigger but there is nothing new about them except their size.
