  The top quark is the most recently discovered quark. Relatively little is
known about its properties so far. Due to its very large mass of about $175 \rm
GeV/c^2$, the top quark behaves differently from all other quarks and provides
a unique environment for tests of the Standard Model. Furthermore, it is
believed to yield sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model. This report
discusses the latest measurements and studies of top quark properties and rare
decays from the Tevatron in Run II.
