Rat

A rat in a portrait.

A rat is a type of pet. Unlike other pets, they are not purchasable or tradeable. When a pirate takes the 'Furnish your home' mission, he or she receives a randomly-colored rat of one of the eleven standard colors. The possible colors are: almond, beige, black, blue-grey, brown, charcoal, chestnut, grey, tawny, white, or yellow.

Other colors of rat must be won in other ways or are no longer available.
