The Giant Rats were modeled by Nori Maezawa and Akira Takahashi of Equis Productions. The suits were worn by Haruo Nakajima, Teruo Aragaki, Haruyoshi Nakamura, and others.

History
Latitude Zero
The Giant Rats were originally just normal rats living on Malic's island, until he enhanced them with his growth serum. The rats acted as the doctor's guard dogs, guarding their master's hideout. The rats were put to the test after the crew of Alpha stumbled upon Malic's cave. The rats fended them off for s short while before McKenzie utilized his flamethrower which got rid of a few. To kill the rest, the crew flew over an acid pool in their helicopter. The rats chased after them, but were too focused to realize the acid. With their heads looking into the sky, the rats fell straight into the pit and were burned alive.
Abilities
While not having any special abilites, the Giant Rats can utilize their teeth and claws in combat.
Weaknesses
The Giant Rats proved vulnerable to the glove-mounted flamethrowers used by the Alpha's crew and Blood Rock's rivers of acid.
