VRRat is "not to be trusted", according to VRCat. VRRat also admits to enjoy "causing chaos". He also likes cheese - all the time<ref>[https://x.com/VRChat/status/1642165152320552961 "YO it’s VRRat!! I’M taking over VRChat,"] posted by VRChat on ''X.com''; retrieved December 18, 2024.</ref>. It's not stated which type of cheese VRRat prefers, but it's generalized that he likes all types of cheeses.
 
==Appearances==
According to an official thread on X.com, for VRChat's 10th anniversary in January 2024, VRRat was created during a VRChat Jam in 2022 as an NPC that disciplined banned users sent to the [[Banned World]]. If a [[Bans|banned user]] entered the world, and broke VRRat’s only rule verbally instructed to the user, which was to not touch VRRat's cheese, they would attack you, which would cause the user to sink into the ground and turn into cheese.<ref>[https://x.com/VRChat/status/1747389671473123573 "VRRat was made during a VRChat Jam"] posted by VRChat on ''X.com''; retrieved December 18, 2024.</ref><ref>[https://x.com/VRChat/status/1747389659913552340 "Have 10 fun facts about #VRChat"] posted by VRChat on ''X.com''; retrieved December 18, 2024.</ref>
 
VRRat had a significant cameo during April Fools 2024, where he managed to "hijack" VRChat's official X.com account. During [[Spookality 2024]], VRRat was frequently used in the branding. On December 1st, 2024, The VRRat [[Merchandise|Makeship plushie]] was officially revealed<ref>[https://bsky.app/profile/vrchat.com/post/3lcbmpho7m22r "vrrat plush REAL"] posted by VRChat on ''Bluesky''; retrieved December 18, 2024.</ref>. The promotion for the plushie ran from December 1st, 2024, and ended on December 30, 2024.
 
===April Fools' 2024 event===
 
====Start of the event ====
On the [[List of April Fools' Day jokes|first of April]] 2024, the official VRChat X (formerly Twitter) Account posted: "''UPDATE: We can't find VRRat.''"<ref>[https://x.com/VRChat/status/1774753933585436820 "PDATE: We can't find VRRat."] posted by VRChat on ''X.com''; retrieved December 18, 2024.</ref> followed by: "''also DO NOT write 'We miss you VRRat' in your personal user note on the website!''"<ref>[https://x.com/VRChat/status/1774753934600478803 "DO NOT write 'We miss you VRRat',"] posted by VRChat on ''X.com''; retrieved December 18, 2024.</ref>.
 
====The text adventure ====
[[File:VRRat pssssssst processed.png|thumb|The first message of the text adventure.|371x371px]]
Typing <code>We miss you VRRat</code> into your "personal notes" on your own profile, via the VRChat website will activate a hidden text adventure, on the VRChat website played via the notification menu. This easter egg is hinted on VRChat's social media account on X, as well as the "Creator Support" user profile on VRChat.
 
When beginning the text adventure on the website, you can also continue the text adventure within the VRChat client. The text-driven adventure tasked the user with freeing VRRat from, what appeared to be the VRChat Headquarters.
 
Navigation depended on a map drawn by VRRat, but it's visibility was limited to areas illuminated by a nearby light source. For example, opening the map in a dark tunnel would make it hard to read, in some cases, even unreadable for significant portions of the adventure, adding an extra layer of challenge.
 
[[File:VRRat Map.png|thumb|528x528px|The map, provided to the user by VRRat.]]
Gameplay mostly consisted of VRRat describing what he perceived in his current position, followed by the player giving new instructions on where to move next.
 
The far left side of the map caused a confusion-like effect for VRRat, making communication difficult. In order to finish the game, the user had to find a key, which was hidden in the maze and would later be used to open the closet door to obtain a wrench necessary to complete the adventure.
 
The adventure has multiple fail states, including but not limited to:
* Being caught by [[VRCat]]
* Caught in a mousetrap
* Eaten by a monster
* Drowned in paper
 
Successfully finishing the text adventure and freeing VRRat would temporarily unlock the "CHEESE" [[Badges|Badge]] and set the UI theme on the website to the Cheese theme. Notably the "CHEESE" badge will not remain and is purely visual.
====VRRat takeover====
Throughout the day, VRRat seemingly took control of VRChat's X account, posting various memes, humorous comments and "leaking" confidential VRChat data.<ref>[https://x.com/VRChat/status/1774799919158644787 "what's this super secret video?!"], posted by VRChat (from VRRat's perspective) on ''X.com''; retrieved December 18, 2024.</ref><ref>[https://x.com/VRChat/status/1774894503473668269 Photo] posted by VRChat on ''X.com''; retrieved December 18, 2024.</ref>
 
====Event conclusion====
The event concluded on April 2nd, 2024, with the VRChat X account - now back 'under the control' of [[VRChat Team|Tupper]] - announcing the successful containment of VRRat.<ref>[https://x.com/VRChat/status/1774995922147221677 "VRRat has been contained once more."] posted by VRChat on ''X.com''; retrieved December 18, 2024.</ref>
 
===April Fools' 2025 event===
[[File:AprilFools2025VRChatHome.png|alt=HMMM.............................. April 1, 2025 10:00 AM|thumb|HMMM.............................. April 1, 2025 10:00 AM]]
 
====Hints of something to come====
Late at night on the 31st of March 2025, the official VRChat account pushed out an update that read:
<blockquote>''"HMMM.............................."''</blockquote> April 1, 2025 10:00 AM with the following image attached.
 
====The invasion begins ====
As midnight hit in each timezone across the world, several world creators begain publishing their updates. The rat invasion was starting! Slowly, worlds that the community knew well had their typical world thumbnails updated, and upon venturing deeper into the world, players found themselves plunged into chaos. The VRRats were scampering everywhere, replacing known structures with cheese, knocking over items, and just causing general mayhem to each of these worlds.
====Featured worlds ====
By 11:05 AM on the 1<sup>st</sup> of April 2025, the VRChat official account again posted the following:
 
<blockquote>''"THE RATS HAVE TAKEN OVER!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"''</blockquote>
 
In additional to providing an image of the client showing the world listing section, a new tab had appeared titled "Psst. Over here." And a new banner showcasing all the worlds that participated in the VRRat event. The worlds that participated in this event can be seen below in the following list.

VRRat is the mischievous secondary mascot of VRChat, as well as a perceived frenemy of VRCat.

Biography

Looks

VRRat is a low-poly rat. He has brown and tan fur, with stubby arms and legs, as well as rounded ears, a pink rat tail, and a noticeable overbite. VRRat hops and waddles on two feet, rather than scurrying on four legs.

VRRat occasionally wears clothes and accessories in branding such as a lab coat, but is mostly depicted not wearing anything.

Personality

VRRat is "not to be trusted", according to VRCat. VRRat also admits to enjoy "causing chaos". He also likes cheese - all the time[1]. It's not stated which type of cheese VRRat prefers, but it's generalized that he likes all types of cheeses.

Appearances

According to an official thread on X.com, for VRChat's 10th anniversary in January 2024, VRRat was created during a VRChat Jam in 2022 as an NPC that disciplined banned users sent to the Banned World. If a banned user entered the world, and broke VRRat’s only rule verbally instructed to the user, which was to not touch VRRat's cheese, they would attack you, which would cause the user to sink into the ground and turn into cheese.[2][3]

VRRat had a significant cameo during April Fools 2024, where he managed to "hijack" VRChat's official X.com account. During Spookality 2024, VRRat was frequently used in the branding. On December 1st, 2024, The VRRat Makeship plushie was officially revealed[4]. The promotion for the plushie ran from December 1st, 2024, and ended on December 30, 2024.

April Fools' 2024 event

Start of the event

On the first of April 2024, the official VRChat X (formerly Twitter) Account posted: "UPDATE: We can't find VRRat."[5] followed by: "also DO NOT write 'We miss you VRRat' in your personal user note on the website!"[6].

The text adventure

The first message of the text adventure.

Typing We miss you VRRat into your "personal notes" on your own profile, via the VRChat website will activate a hidden text adventure, on the VRChat website played via the notification menu. This easter egg is hinted on VRChat's social media account on X, as well as the "Creator Support" user profile on VRChat.

When beginning the text adventure on the website, you can also continue the text adventure within the VRChat client. The text-driven adventure tasked the user with freeing VRRat from, what appeared to be the VRChat Headquarters.

Navigation depended on a map drawn by VRRat, but it's visibility was limited to areas illuminated by a nearby light source. For example, opening the map in a dark tunnel would make it hard to read, in some cases, even unreadable for significant portions of the adventure, adding an extra layer of challenge.

The map, provided to the user by VRRat.

Gameplay mostly consisted of VRRat describing what he perceived in his current position, followed by the player giving new instructions on where to move next.

The far left side of the map caused a confusion-like effect for VRRat, making communication difficult. In order to finish the game, the user had to find a key, which was hidden in the maze and would later be used to open the closet door to obtain a wrench necessary to complete the adventure.

The adventure has multiple fail states, including but not limited to:

  • Being caught by VRCat
  • Caught in a mousetrap
  • Eaten by a monster
  • Drowned in paper

Successfully finishing the text adventure and freeing VRRat would temporarily unlock the "CHEESE" Badge and set the UI theme on the website to the Cheese theme. Notably the "CHEESE" badge will not remain and is purely visual.

VRRat takeover

Throughout the day, VRRat seemingly took control of VRChat's X account, posting various memes, humorous comments and "leaking" confidential VRChat data.[7][8]

Event conclusion

The event concluded on April 2nd, 2024, with the VRChat X account - now back 'under the control' of Tupper - announcing the successful containment of VRRat.[9]
