Rat race

Race rat

Rats can be found almost anywhere it's dark and smelly: in Sewers, in UnderDark, on dumps and in cellars. Small, fast, evasive. A single rat is no threat, but if a swarm shows up, even a seasoned fighter goes home without his trousers.

They see by infravision and prowl silently. Immune to disease -- many rats are the disease. Sensitive to mental influences and loud sound (nobody likes a screech). In battle they rely on speed, manoeuvrability, and tail strikes.

A favourite prey of felars, whom the goddess Bast doesn't forbid to hunt rodents. To everyone else -- just food or a reason to feel queasy.
