Rat
Rats are small rodents that are mentioned in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, and appear in Grand Theft Auto V. They can be found in areas populated by the homeless, around dumpsters and rubbish bags in back alleys (such as the alley behind Forum Dr) and in litter ridden rural areas. Rats pose no threat to the player and will run away when approached.
