Rat tails are a special type of food in ADOM. They can only be purchased from ratling traders, When eaten, rat tails grant a certain amount of satiation that depends on their B/U/C status, which is 25/20/10 respectively. Trolls, orcs, and ratlings generate a special message upon eating them, but the satiation values are the same.
Desirability[]
Food gain is very low, since it would take 25 turns to eat an amount of them equal to a ration and Arena has better food in cooked lizards and fried bats, these have no real uses in normal games.
Guaranteed/Common sources[]
They can be purchased from ratling traders in the Arena (and occasionally in the High Mountain Village).
