Giant rats are common, low-levelled monsters. They can often be found in swamps and sewers, and are sometimes killed by low-levelled players training their Combat skills as they are weak and can be easily found around Lumbridge and Varrock.

Lighter grey giant rats can be found exclusively behind Lumbridge Castle and near the Rimmington church.
