Backerat

s are monsters encountered in the sewage system of WOW Industries while completing  The Poisoned Water,  The Burnt Warehouse, or Sam's romance mission,  The Lucky Charm.

The latter two missions are the only possible chances to take a photo of a Backerat, so if the player is trying to complete their photo album, they are advised to take the photo during The Burnt Warehouse if not romancing Sam.

Spawning
s can only be found in the sewage system of WOW Industries.

Behavior
s are slow monsters, but when they see the player they will travel at a medium speed. They normally travel on two legs, but on four while approaching the player.

When attacking, s will leap forward and swing their lance several times which sometimes immobilizes the player.

Trivia

 * s were formerly known as Lance Rats during the Alpha version of the game.
