			==Introduction==
			Deep within the humid swamps and barren fields, there are mutated creatures, vermin in nature, and a plague because of their large numbers and the diseases they bring. These feral beasts are large and only out for food. If you encounter one, you already know there will be many coming for you as they have smelled the scent of prey.
			==Description==
			The giant rat is a mutated version of a common rat, bearing many similarities with one big difference, their enormous size. Giant rats have a way larger head and their ears are also much bigger, the ears being round in shape. A giant rat has two pitch-black eyes and a long snout which grows large whiskers. The tip of the rat’s snout is the only part of its body that doesn’t grow fur. The rest of the rat's body is covered with thick and repellent fur. The color of the skin varies from shades of brown to gray and black, sometimes with spots. Further down, a giant rat always has a large belly, which is barely supported by the tiny legs and feet it uses to walk. A giant rat reeks like sewers and rotten food, and the fur is sticky and a little humid.
			==Behavior ==
			Giant rats are hostile to anything they see that is not one of them, although they can also get in conflict with one another over just about everything, ranging from females to food to territory. They do not hibernate. Giant rats reproduce year-round, as long as there is plenty of food available and temperatures are not extreme. A female can birth up to five younglings, truly spreading like a disease. Females can re-fertilize every four to six months. In general, they eat just about anything they can find but are mainly attracted to dirt. There is a chance that the giant rat can sometimes come quite close to towns or villages. They stay in caves during the day and go out hunting at night. From just after the sun sets until just before the sun rises again. The rat generally adapts easily to other living environments. For example, rats are very good swimmers and can also climb and jump well.
	==Habitat==		==Habitat==
	The giant rats like to live in cooler, ~~damp~~ places, such as dark, ~~cool caves~~. Since the giant rats are so large, ~~there~~ are ~~few places where~~ they can live ~~very comfortably~~ and ~~often have~~ to ~~create~~ their ~~own place~~ to ~~live~~.		The giant rats like to live in cooler, humid places, such as dark caves, swamps, or large plains. Since the giant rats are so large, they often create their place to live by digging burrows close to river banks and trees or just anywhere in the ground. Their nests are then built in these burrows in which the little ones are raised until they can live independently. Giant rats mostly live in the swamps of Magna Attia, the Hinterlands, Heartlands, Norlands, and the Delorwaki Savanna.
			==Abilities==
			A giant rat will first off try to quickly end anyone it engages, biting them asity the hope of quickly eating its prey. This site is extremely strong (D4), but they only use it when engaging their targets. If the prey survives the bite, the rat will make a melee attack with its claws, which are not as strong as the bite (D2), but the claws are long and sharp, and they can carry disease. The vermin can also use its tail to hit multiple targets (D2). A giant rat is not immune or resistant to any form of damage.
			==Drops ==
			'''Rat teeth'''

	~~For example, these rodents dig burrows close to river banks and trees or just anywhere in~~ the ~~ground~~. ~~Their nests are then built in these burrows in which the little ones~~ are ~~raised until they can live independently.~~		The teeth of the rat can be harvested as soon as the beast dies. They are large, dull, and creamy white. Cutting yourself on it might carry a disease over to you.

	~~== Description ==~~
	~~Giant rats~~, ~~like normal rats~~, ~~are rodents~~. ~~In contrast~~ to ~~its much smaller cousin, there are many differences between the common and the Giant Rat~~.

	~~For starters, giant rats already have a much larger head than the average rat. The rat~~'s head alone measures 125 cm and its ears can reach heights of 25 cm. These ears have a round shape and end in openings in the side of the head, where the hearing organ resides. A giant rat has two black beady eyes and a long snout, which can extend to 50 cm and have whiskers about 30 cm long; the tip of the rat’s snout is the only part of its that doesn’t grow fur.		'''Rat fur'''

	~~The rest of~~ the ~~rat's body is covered with relatively thin~~ fur~~. This often varies in color in shades of brown, gray or black, sometimes with spots. The body~~ of ~~the rat has~~ a ~~total length of 2m, while its tail can measure up to 2.5m. Rats have, in relation to the rest of the body, fairly short legs, namely 75 cm.~~		When the fur of a rat is harvested, it can serve as clothing because of the thick layer the fur consists of. The color of the fur depends on the color the giant rat has.

	~~==Behaviour==~~
	~~Giant rats reproduce year-round, as long as there is plenty of food available and temperatures are not extreme. The gestation period for a pregnant~~ rat is ~~21 to 23 days. A female can have one to twenty young per litter~~, ~~but usually there are seven to twelve young per litter. Females~~ can re-fertilize every four to six months, even if they are still nursing their young. This can lead to more than 24 young per year per female. Since young rats reach sexual maturity quickly (from 6 weeks), the total number of offspring in a year for a pair and their offspring can be as ~~many as 4 animals. The young are born blind and naked.~~

	~~After about twelve to fourteen days they open their eyes and are completely hairy. The growth~~ of the ~~young is affected by~~ the ~~size~~ of ~~the litter, and young in smaller litters often grow faster~~. ~~Only~~ the female cares for the young, and she will chase away intruders or move young when disturbed. In addition, their intelligence and adaptability allow them to adapt even better. They even exhibit behaviors that can be considered traditions, meaning that certain populations can develop and pass on ~~different behaviors, eating habits, and hunting techniques from generation to generation.~~

	~~In general, they eat just about anything they can find, but are mainly attracted to dirt. So there is a chance that~~ the giant rat can sometimes come quite close to towns or villages, although you won't see them often. They are mainly active at night. From just after the sun sets until just before the sun rises again. The rat generally adapts easily to other living environments. For example, rats are very good swimmers and can also climb and jump well. Just like their smaller versions they are able to spread diseases. This is more complicated for the giant ~~ones, because of their size.~~

	~~== Abilities ==~~
	~~'''Bite''' The Giant~~ rat ~~makes a melee attack that deals D6 damage.~~

	~~'''Scratch''' A giant rat makes a melee attack that deals D3 damage to two targets.~~

	~~'''Tail Whip''' A blow from a rat's tail can be very powerful. A Giant Rat makes a melee attack against up to two adjacent targets in melee range, dealing d4 damage.~~

	~~'''Disease carrier''' A Giant rat might seldom carry diseases with its scratches or bites, see also [[:Category:Plagues and Diseases\|Diseases]]~~

	~~==Drops==~~
	The drop of a giant rat consists of its teeth, which can be used to make several objects. It is also possible to take its fur, which is a fairly large surface area of fur that can easily be used for a coat, for example.
