Here's the SRD Rat and Dire Rat with those templates applied. Out of the four, I think the Mystaran Gargantue Dire Rat is closest to what I was thinking of for the Titanic Rat. Titanic Rat [SRD plus Monster Manual 2 Titanic Template]Gargantuan AnimalHit Dice: 25d8+200 (312 hp)Initiative: +0Speed: 20 ft.

They bite only as a last resort.Trample (Ex): As a standard action during its turn each round, a titanic rat can trample a Huge or smaller opponent. This attack deals 3d8+19 points of bludgeoning damage. A trampled opponent can attempt either an attack of opportunity at a –4 penalty or a Reflex save (DC 35) for half damage. The save DC is Strength-based.Skills: Rats have a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks, and a +8 racial bonus on Balance, Climb, and Swim checks. A rat can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened. A rat uses its Dexterity modifier instead of its Strength modifier for Climb and Swim checks. A rat has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.  Titanic Dire Rat [SRD plus Monster Manual 2 Titanic Template]Gargantuan Animal (Dire)Hit Dice: 25d8+225 (337 hp)Initiative: +0Speed: 40 ft.
