Name: Mutated Mega-Rat Rank: D- Genus: Rodent (Rat) Attribute: Poison, Stench Traits: Beast, Rat, Mutated Monster

Description:

Mutated Mega-Rats. One of the highest possible evolution for rat species such as the Greycave Rat, Bluesewer Rat, and/or the Greenwood Rat. As long as they do not obtain some special evolution requirements somehow.

The Mega-Rat is not that big of a threat on its own, but since it enhances the growth and birth rates of other rat monsters in its area, allowing it to roam freely can lead to an overpopulation of rats, which again can lead to famine and disease faster than adventurers when there's an easy and well-paying job at the quest board.

Appearance:

Mutated Mega-Rats are extremely large rats (coming from one of their pre-evolutions being the Giant Rat), so large that they can become bigger than a horse-driven carriage. They also possess multiple tails, eyes, and even mouths (due to the other one of the pre-evolutions being the Mutant Rat). Their fur is surprisingly clean, and leather products made from this rodent are extremely valued by the low-ranked nobility.

Abilities:

Danger rank: D+ (C-)

Rarity rank: C-

Mutated Mega-Rats have extremely high durability and resistance. These boss-rats use their rat underlings and various poisons, diseases, and smells, to harass their opponents while they withstand the opponent's attacks and wait for them to succumb to all the unspeakableness they are exposed to when fighting the Mega-Rat.

Depending on the number of underlings, the Mega-Rat's danger rank may increase. They are also a high threat to urban areas if they are allowed to breed uninhibited.

Garami's comment: What a dirty fighting style! Glad we have one less of those in the world.

Gust's comment: The one who used poison and slammed a chandelier into the head of someone has the right to call other people's strategies "dirty"? Where is this world headed?
