Copyrat



Almost indistinguishable from a normal rat, the Copyrat can be identified from its faint glow, which is usually only noticeable in the dark. While not any more dangerous to human beings than any normal rat, Copyrats have been given superpowers by the Virus just as the surviving humans have.

Energy Absorbtion
Copyrats can absorb any type of radiation or energy and draw sustenance from it. While they can survive on sunlight alone, they prefer a more varied diet. They are drawn to any source of energy and as a result large Copyrat colonies are often found inside old power stations and nuclear plants. While they aren't particularly dangerous and will usually flee when they see a human, Copyrats can absorb energy-based attacks and could even absorb the lifeforce of beings with Energy Physiology or similar superpowers. Thankfully, Copyrats are just as vulnerable to conventional attacks as regular rats.

Replication
Copyrats have the ability to create copies of themselves at will. They instinctively use this ability as a defensive measure: When feeling threathened, they will create a copy of themselves to act as a distraction while they get away. These copies are identical to the Copyrat that spawned them in every way and have the same powers, meaning that the copies can create more copies, and so on. Nowadays, Copyrats can be found in pretty much every corner of the world. It is suspected that they are all descendants of a a single original.
