Dire rats are animals, but they have a surprising amount of wisdom.  Their tactics usually boil down to 'charge and bite' or 'flank and power attack.'  If they have inflicted a good number of bites, dire rats are perfectly willing to flee and come back in a few days to see what's died from their filth fever.  They will attempt to withdraw and use their surprisingly good stealth skill to escape.
