Hellrat

Hellrats are hostile mobs with orange eyes, a long orange-red tail and have an animated coat. They are the Nether equivalent of rats.

Nether
Hellrats spawn in the Nether, and can be found at any light level.

Drops
Hellrats will drop 0–2 redstone upon death. They drop 5 when killed by a player or tamed wolf.

Behavior
Hellrats wander around aimlessly in the Nether, making loud squeaks occasionally. They will notice the player from a 12-16 block radius, and give chase.

Like rats, hellrats are neutral in light levels of 9 or more, but will become hostile if the light level decreases, or if provoked. Also, since the Nether is rather dark, hellrats are almost always aggressive towards you, unless they are near lava or fire, which emit light levels of 15.
