The ratscal is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first introduced in Dragon Quest II.

CharacteristicsEdit

Ratscals are giant grey-furred rats that are almost as large as grown men. The cowardly rats are prone to fleeing from the fray when threatened. Although its rodent cousins went on to appear in other games in the series, the ratscal's appearances were limited to its original game and spinoffs.
