Rugrat
Danger Level 2The Rugrat is a Level 2 monster that fights by picking up your loot and throwing it at you. Its damage depends entirely on what it happens to be holding.

Behaviour
On spotting a semibot it grabs the nearest valuable, then chases you trying to line up a throw. It cannot throw within about three seconds of picking something up, cannot throw from too close — it backs away instead — and cannot throw without line of sight. Hiding from a Rugrat that is already holding something is difficult. After a throw, successful or not, it cannot re-aggro for around fifteen seconds. Damage scales with the mass of the item: most small valuables land around 19, mid-weight items around 38, an HDD or Sample Six Pack 75, and a 3D Printer a spectacular 112. Oversized items can hurt the Rugrat itself or simply fail to travel.
How to survive it
Deny it ammunition. A room you have already cleared is a room where a Rugrat is harmless. Break line of sight while it is winding up and the throw never happens. Because the fifteen-second cooldown is generous, surviving one throw usually means you have plenty of time to leave, and the thrown valuable is often more of a loss than the damage.
REPODLE hints
Nineteen damage is unique to the Rugrat — it is the game's only non-round damage value, which makes it instantly memorable. If the damage column comes back green anywhere near that number, you are done. Light weight with a Medium orb narrows it to Rugrat and Headgrab, split by damage (19 against 5).
