Dire Rat

These large rodents are endemic to dungeons, ruins and places with large amounts of detritus and trash. They are universally reviled and driven out by civilized races, though they are sometimes used as watchdogs and pets by less civilized folk. A dire rat looks like a very large rat, easily two feet long and weighing upwards of twenty-five pounds. They have filthy, matted fur, smell terrible, and are known to carry disease.

CombatTactics = Dire rats are animals, but they have surprisingly good instincts. 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 stealth skill to escape.

OutOfCombat = Outside of combat, dire rats congregate with other dire rats, as well as normal rats, often in places with high amounts of garbage or discarded food. They build nests which they share with regular rats, often mistaking their smaller cousins as baby dire rats or runts. Dire rats will travel fairly long distances to find food sources, and will relocate their nest within days of finding a location with better access to food, water and hiding places. This habit of moving upon discovering better habitats makes them somewhat nomadic, and also means they can be found nearly anywhere.
