Comboanimals Fun bit of information

Most people don’t realize it, but the Pigrat is a fixture of urban life. It’s one of the unsung survivors of the city—adapted to thrive in places others find uninhabitable. To a fifteen-year-old who knows where to look, it’s a strange and fascinating creature, always on the move, always adapting, and always surviving. Whether it’s circling the streets at dawn, scurrying across alleyways, or taking flight under the moonlit sky, the Pigrat is a reminder that nature finds a way, even in the heart of the concrete jungle. Folklore

Comboanimals Physical description

A rat with the wings, feet and mass of a pigeon.

Imagine a rat, its sleek gray fur tinged with a glossy sheen, but instead of the usual rat tail, it has the delicate, iridescent feathers of a pigeon. The Pigrat’s feet are more like those of a pigeon, with claws that can grip onto ledges, but its front paws are still small and nimble like a rat’s, perfect for scurrying into tight spaces.

Its eyes are the most unsettling feature. Huge, glossy, and black, they reflect the glow of streetlights in the night. When it looks at you, it's almost like it knows something you don’t. Its wings, though, are the most surprising. They’re not just for show—they’re strong enough to carry it short distances.

### **The Pigirat: A Creature of the City Streets**

In the heart of a bustling city, where the streets hum with the noise of cars and people, a strange creature roams. It's called the **Pigrat**, a hybrid of pigeon and rat—a bizarre fusion of two creatures that thrive in urban environments. Most people never notice it, but for those who know what to look for, it’s an eerie sight.

**Behaviour:**

The Pigrat is a master of both the skies and the streets. By day, it blends in with the regular pigeons, hanging around street corners or scavenging crumbs near outdoor cafes. It’s a skilled forager, darting between crowds, its rat instincts kicking in when there’s food to be had. It’s not above stealing a sandwich or nibbling on a forgotten pastry. If someone’s not paying attention, the Pigrat might even snatch a piece of pizza right out of their hand.

But by night, the Pigrat comes alive. It’s nocturnal, like its rat ancestors, and when the city quiets down, it ventures into the darker, more hidden places—alleys, abandoned subway stations, or the rooftops of crumbling buildings. There, it makes its home, often nesting in forgotten corners or beneath piles of trash. The Pigrat is a scavenger at heart, but it’s also highly territorial, fiercely protecting its little patch of urban wilderness from other rats, pigeons, and even other Pigrats.

It’s not entirely solitary, though. The Pigrat has learned to work in groups, especially when it comes to finding food. The pigeons will signal with their coos, and the rats will scatter when danger is near. But when they need to, the Pigrat’s hybrid nature gives it a strange advantage—it can easily blend in with either group, or stand out when needed.

**Diet:**

The Pigrat’s diet is as eclectic as its genetics. Like pigeons, it enjoys a variety of grains—seeds, crumbs, and bits of bread—anything it can pick up from the street. But its rat side craves something a little more savory. It’ll gnaw on anything from half-eaten fast food to rotting fruit, and it's known to nibble on old leather or even cardboard if food is scarce. The Pigrat is a survivor, and it doesn’t mind getting its paws dirty to find a meal.

It’s particularly fond of pizza—no one knows why—but you can often spot a Pigrat circling a pizza joint late at night, waiting for someone to toss out a slice. If there’s a pizza box on the ground, it’s as good as gone.

---

**Habitat:**

The Pigrat’s territory is the city itself, but it’s drawn to places where humans gather. Street corners, alleyways, subway entrances—these are its favorite spots. It doesn’t like to venture too far from the action, so it sticks to places with lots of people around, but not too many. That’s why it loves the outskirts of parks, where tourists might throw bread crumbs, or beneath city benches where people tend to leave behind snacks.

But it’s also a creature of the shadows. The rooftops are its true home—shrouded in the mystery of night, far from prying eyes. Here, it can nest in old, abandoned buildings or among the clutter of forgotten things. It has an uncanny ability to find secret places where others can’t go, using its rat-like sense of smell to detect hidden food caches or abandoned spots perfect for nesting.

**The Pigrat’s Secret Life:**

So, next time you're walking through the city and spot a pigeon doing something a little... off, take a closer look. You might just be staring at a Pigrat in action. And who knows? Maybe it’ll even be the one to steal your last slice of pizza.
