[1 Dismissal] Large rodent breeding event.

[Scheveningen]

We need more major events.

Completely separate from the mouse breeding event, the large rodent breeding event is a major event that spawns several rats in the spawn locations that mice share, with the added advantage of allowing ghosts to immediately join as the rats that spawn to scavenge for food and be a very major nuisance. They share all of the similar mechanics to mice, except they have triple the health pool and are capable of viciously biting for 5 brute damage, with 5% chance of infecting the wound.

After consuming sufficient enough nutriment, the regular size rats may immediately mutate and grow into a giant rat. They once again triple their health pool, double their bite damage and their infection chance from their bite. They gain a passive 20 armor to melee attacks owing to their thicker skin. They can no longer crawl through vents but they may access the small airlock openings. They gain menacing red eyes to reflect their mutation.

After consuming a much larger amount of animal protein or even humanoid flesh, giant rodents may again mutate into Rodents of Unusual Size. In addition to possessing a passive ability that renders everyone completely ambivalent and apathetic to their existence, ROUSes once again double their bite damage, infection rate and once again triple their health pool. They gain 35 passive armor to melee attacks, 20 passive armor to bullets, and 10 armor to lasers. ROUSes are too huge to fit through an airlock hole or a vent, but they are now capable of forcing open airlocks with their massive brute strength. They also gain a claw attack that may be toggled in their abilities menu.

Rat bite infections don't do anything special, they just by chance inflict the typical infection that occurs from untreated wounds.

Voting for dismissal. The rat king is memetic enough, we do not need giant rats as anything other than an admin meme.
