Rifts® Conversion Notes: Remains an S.D.C. creature in Mega Damage setting. In Rifts® Earth setting, Ratons can be found wherever Rattlings can be found. Even hear they are treated as second class citizens by their cousins and though of as giant rats by other humanoids races. Coalition soldiers shoot them on sight.

Note: Rattons will be found wherever rattlings are found. They serve as warriors, guards, and heavy laborers. They prefer heavy types of armor and large to giant-size weapons. Their favorites include pole arms, battle axes, and large swords. There is approximately one ratton for every six ratling.
