Rat Chant

The Rat Chant is the signature chant of the Rats. The chant induces fear into all of the Rats' opponents, and is often accompanied by a peculiar synthesized "overdriven guitar" sound. (despite the sound not seeming to have a source). It also introduces the concept of the Giant Rat who "makes all of the rules" and the first movie opens with the Rat Chant. It can be considered a hallmark of the entire series.

Chant
Rats: ''Rats, we're rats, we're the rats. We prey at night, we stalk at night, we're the rats.''

Giant Rat: I'm the Giant Rat that makes all of the rules.

Rats: Let's see what kind of trouble we can get ourselves into.
