Molerats are burrowing, mid-sized predators confirmed for Gothic 1 Remake. Alkimia Interactive published remake concept art for the Molerat in January 2023 and followed up with a public gameplay reveal titled "First Look at Molerat Combat."
Burrowers. Molerats emerge from the ground rather than patrolling in the open, which gives early encounters a surprise-attack quality.
Bite-focused. Their combat loop is built around closing the gap fast and committing to short, powerful bite combos.
Early-game threat. They are a meaningful fight for an early Hero but fall off as weapon skills ramp up.
Molerats appear in the wilderness stretches between the camps. Specific full-game pins have not been published ahead of launch; the confirmed remake appearances come from the concept art reveal and the gameplay video.

Behaviour | Burrowers. Molerats emerge from the ground rather than patrolling in the open, which gives early encounters a surprise-attack quality. |
Attack Pattern | Bite-focused. Their combat loop is built around closing the gap fast and committing to short, powerful bite combos. |

Alkimia Interactive published remake concept art for the Molerat in January 2023 and followed up with a public gameplay reveal titled "First Look at Molerat Combat." Together those reveals confirm the remake's Molerat appearance and combat behaviour.
Molerats appear in the wilderness stretches between the camps in the Valley of Mines. Specific full-game pin locations have not been published ahead of launch; the confirmed remake appearances come from the concept-art reveal and the gameplay video.
Molerats reward careful spacing. Their burst-out animation is the warning, and waiting for the bite combo to commit before stepping into a parry is the safest opening. Ranged options like a bow can soften them before the burrow ambush triggers, but the Hero has to spot the burrow first. The remake's Combat System handles burrowing creatures with its committed-animation parry window.
