Bone Rats are named for their emaciated rodent build and osterderm-plates covering their bodies.

Appearance[]
Bone rats are man-sized rats with white fur and bright red eyes. They coat themselves with armored plating made from processed calcium and bone matter globs created from the remains of the skeletons they feed upon.
Personality[]
Origins[]
Visitors who die on Skull Island might hope that their troubles are finally over, but these unusually large rodents work to ensure that even the dead cannot rest. Beneath patchy, bone-white, armor plating, these dark gray rats sport red eyes that reflect even the slightest bit of light, giving them an eerie glow at night, when they are the most active. Nearly as broad as they are long, Bone Rats emerge from deep burrows once the sun has faded to seek out bones to consume.
Their front teeth, which consist of dozens of layers of enamel, come to a V-point, and are backed by the same bite force that one might expect from a great white shark. This combination allows Bone Rats to crack and shatter any kind of non-fossilized bone. Their tongues resemble that of an aardvark, and can snake inside bones to lick out the marrow that hides within. Once their feasting in this fashion is complete, they chew on the bones that remain for every drop of marrow they can get, while also pulverizing the calcified material into a gum-like substance that they spread onto their bodies, claws, and rigid tails with their tongues. Their saliva combines with the bone paste, hardening it over the course of a few days into armored plates that afford them incredible protection from predators and hunters.
While Bone Rats are not carnivores by nature, they are hyper aggressive when hungry or disturbed, and they have been seen attacking living creatures just long enough to secure a few limbs that they then abscond with, and feast upon. When their armor is broken, most of these rodents will scurry away, except those that are especially hungry or cornered
