Rat

The Rat is a mammal species featured in Grand Theft Auto VI's recreation of the state of Leonida. The in-game animal is modelled on the real-world Rattus norvegicus.

In game, the Rat is typically encountered in urban environments, fitting the species' real-world range across South Florida.

The Rat surfaced in the September 2022 GTA VI development leak. While not officially confirmed by Rockstar, leaked species have historically had a strong correlation with final-game content.

The Rat was spotted in source materials from the 2022 development leak. No trailer appearance has been publicly catalogued yet.

Real-world basis according to community analysis: Rattus norvegicus.

From domestic pets to apex predators, mammals anchor much of the wildlife players interact with. The Rat fits naturally into Leonida's ecosystem.
