As we've established, we're big fans of rats in videogames around these parts, and it's no secret that we're also fascinated by Skyrim mods. That's why we're pretty excited about this new Skyrim mod that adds giant rat companions to the RPG game. These aren't just any rats, mind you - they come in a wide variety of exotic patterns.
The Scrolls for Rats Companions mod by gg77 adds a whole rainbow of potential giant rat companions to Skyrim. These designer rats come in a surprisingly diverse range of colourations and patterns: in addition to your standard white and black rats, there are tiger-striped rats, zebra rats, and ocelot rats. However, they only come in one size: large.
Once you've installed the mod, you can acquire your rat companion by visiting Whiterun and buying a special rat scroll from Hulda at the Bannered Mare or Belethor at the General Goods store. Find the scroll in your inventory, toss it at the ground, and poof! Your rat will have appeared, ready to follow you into the deepest tombs and highest mountain peaks in Skyrim.
