Rat Funk

Rat Funks are blue rodents that reside in Kero Sewers and the Forest Maze in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. They are cowardly creatures, and will often run away from battle. Rat Funks are also extremely fast, allowing them to attack Mario's party members before they have time to react. Since these rodents are fairly weak, they tend to travel in numbers or with stronger monsters, including Hobgoblins. In battle, a Rat Funk attacks by slapping its tail at a party member. Their tails can also be used to poison their enemies. As such, Antidote Pins are the recommended accessory to wear when in Rat Funk-infested territory.
