Project Gorgon Rat Guide: Taming, Loot, Stats
Giant Rat in Project Gorgon is one of the weakest creatures in Alharth and is fully non aggressive. It has low Health, no Armor, and can be tamed early with Animal Handling level 5. Most players encounter it near starter areas like Anagoge and Serbule, making it both a beginner farming target and an easy first pet.
It may look harmless, but it still has a few useful drops and early pet value.

Anagoge variant stats:
Health 23
Armor 0
Rage 44
Serbule variant stats:

All variants share the same general loot table, though equipment or scroll drops can vary by zone.

Is Giant Rat Worth Using
Giant Rat is not a high tier combat pet. Its damage is low and its durability is limited.
However, it is:
Easy to tame
Cheap to maintain
Useful for new Animal Handling players
A simple early game support pet
For brand new players learning pet mechanics, Giant Rat is a safe and accessible starting option.
It may be the weakest of the weak, but for early progression and basic resource farming, Giant Rat still has its place in Project Gorgon.
