Drowned Rat
Level 18 Wildlife · The Sunken Mine
In Desperados Destiny, Drowned Rat is a level 18 wildlife — a mid-game threat that expects a built character.
Field notes
Massive waterlogged rats adapted to the flooded tunnels, infesting the upper air pockets. Their soaked fur and bites carry a wasting infection from the stagnant water.
What you are walking into
Drowned Rat is level 18, carries 162 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a mid-game threat that expects a built character. It fights by attrition — damage that keeps working after the hand is played, so a long fight favours it rather than you. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Drowned Rat plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Drowned Rat
Drowned Rat is encountered at The Sunken Mine. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for The Sunken Mine covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 216 experience and between $7 and $18. Its loot table can yield Rat Hide and Animal Bones. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
