"You have rats: and some of the ratholes have been dynamited open, not gnawed. An infestation of L.B.s, aka rattus faber! Viciously intelligent rats who set traps for humans! No landlord or Constable will tangle with these."

Rattus Faber

Rattus faber are an unusual breed of rat: they are sentient and can make tools, even complicated weaponry like rifles and explosives, and generally operate like tiny cunning humans. (They are bipedal as well.) There is a large population of these on Pigmote Isle, though that is not their location of origin. Where exactly they came from, and how they evolved from normal rats, is unknown.

Dead rats are often tied up on strings and used as food among London's lower class; members of the Topsy King's court are particularly fond of this delicacy.

A group of exceptionally dangerous rats by the name of the Rat Brigade roam the High Wilderness in search of employment. Their members have been scattered, however, after being betrayed by one of their own. 

By the way, "L.B.," their colloquial nickname, is just short for Little Bastard.
