Notes

The Dread Rat is a nightmarish predator, larger and more cunning than its common kin. Its fur is a dark, matted black, blending seamlessly with the shadows. Its eyes glow with a malevolent red hue, and its teeth and claws are unnaturally sharp. The Dread Rat hunts alone, stalking its prey with an eerie silence, striking from the darkness with lethal precision.
