The Darrat were a horde of white-brown mottled rats who lived in Mossflower Woods south of Redwall Abbey. They were flesh-eaters who captured Horty, Fenna and Springald to fatten up and eat. The prisoners escaped thanks to Bragoon and Sarobando. As they left, they wounded several Darrat, but the High Kappin Birug and some others followed them. Thanks to Horty, who diverted the rats, the five travelers stayed unharmed, and Birug and many other of the cannibalistic rats were killed in a landslide.
