After almost 10 years, the rat skull will finally return in Shattered Pixel Dungeon v2.4.0 as one of the game’s new trinkets! It was formerly a quest item that I removed way back in v0.2.1. Now the skull will passively boost the chance for you to encounter rare exotic enemies like albino rats or crystal mimics. This means a bit more challenge, but also more rare loot!

    The rat skull isn’t meant to tie into the fetid rat specifically anymore, like it did back before v0.2.1. Despite that, it’s definitely possible that the game might have a gnoll or crab themed trinket, though I don’t have any specific plans for either of those themes at the moment.
