Notes | Giant rats are the most common creature encountered in caves, dungeons, and ruins, just after their smaller cousins, and many an adventurer’s first quest is to clean out a lair of these nasty creatures infesting the basement of some inn or shop for a few silvers. The following characteristics detail a giant rat averaging 0.5 m to 1 m (2 to 3 ft) in length, not counting a hairless pink tail as long as its body. The loss of its tail will not typically cause a Serious Wound, but will cause the rat flee the area. |
