These rodents have very large teeth that grow quickly. They must often gnaw on things to keep their teeth worn down. Their teeth are strong enough to gnaw through steel, can swim, and have the ability to intimidate their foes. (Unconfirmed!) Raticate naturally live in plains, and savannas. It is an omnivore in the truest sense in that it is able to subsist on almost anything edible. Its webbed feet, body shape, and overall design are very similar to the coypu, or nutria, a semi-aquatic South American rodent. Raticate's name seems to be a combination of "rat", and "eradicate," meaning to destroy or exterminate.
