In addition to being a pet, a donkey rat's meat is considered quite good. The gamy taste and its status as a pet mean that the urban populace considers it to be a meal only fit for those living in remote, uncivilized areas.1 They are also sometimes taken by spellcasters as familiars, particularly among dwarves and gnomes.34
