While Migration would certainly be a lot of work and quite dangerous, if they all moved as a group, shielding the older and younger rats from predators, most creatures should be smart enough to stay away, after all, the few creatures strong enough to fight so many rats at once would also likely spend their energy hunting things with a fair bit more meat on them, and since whatever was keeping most animals away from the ruins didn't seem to affect their kind, they would never have to worry again that a predator might pick off a scavenging rat, or that an owl might carry away a youngling while it played, that last one wasn't too common but had happened once that the rat creature had personally seen, which was one too many for such a reduced race.
The group seemed quite distracted as the rat approached, the lizard was looking at a wall with a different colour to the others and no visible cracks or plantlife on it, the man with the burned arm was leaning against a wall, clearly pained by the injury enough for it to be obvious even to the ratling, after all, an injured creature was visible to anything with the ability to eat meat, and many that did not eat meat as well.
The least descript of the humans was taking the chance to pee against a wall, whistling an unpleasant tune that was most certainly not nice to listen to for the ratling, likely just due to how out of tune and loud it was.
Finally the apparent leader was simply standing there muttering, obviously angry at everyone but himself, too self absorbed to notice until the rat had bitten him through a small hole in the leg of his pants.
"Argh?! What the hell! Little filthy rat bit me! There aren't supposed to be anything like this here you stupid lizard!"
The man shouted as he chased after the rat, taking several steps before bringing his foot down hard, he of course would miss, an injured, angry, tired human was no match speedwise for a rat that knew what was coming, and instead he easily pushed the pressure plate down with a click... Followed by the sound of metal flying through the air at high speed as a sharp shiny stick as long as three rats laying head to tail flew from a crack in the wall, striking the man in the side and going deep as he fell over in shock, letting out a sort of strangled bubbling sound as his companions ran over to help, the Lizard already reaching into a bag, the injured man hobbling over with a sympathetic look, and the pissing man forgetting to pull his pants up and falling over, still peeing.
