Rat

Odo as a rat

A rat was a type of rodent that was larger than a mouse. They were typically found on Earth as well as a variety of worlds. In laboratories, Humans would test rats response to stimuli by placing them in mazes and giving them a treat if they succeeded in getting out of the trap. The treat was often a piece of cheese.

In 2285, at least one black rat was aboard the research station Regula I. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

In early 2365, while the USS Enterprise-D was entrapped in a void, Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge stated out loud, "Like the rat said: Keep the cheese. I just want out of the trap." Later, Doctor Katherine Pulaski would likened the situation of the Enterprise-D to that of a rat in a maze. (TNG: "Where Silence Has Lease")

In 2369, Odo disguised himself as a rat in order to overhear a conversation between Lursa, B'Etor and Tahna Los. (DS9: "Past Prologue")

A year later, Odo sneaked aboard a Kressari freighter and disguised himself as a rat again to investigate allegations by one of Quark's contacts that the Kressari were arming the Bajoran extremist group known as "The Circle". (DS9: "The Circle")

In a deleted scene from ENT: "Storm Front", a rat in New York City of an alternate 1944 momentarily startled Sal and Jonathan Archer.

Types of rats

Rat-vultures were referenced in the first draft script of DS9: "Body Parts", but not in canon.
