Not all so-called 'lycanthropes' take upon the noble bearing of a wolf. Not all are so fortunate, some take upon a shape with a far more clandestine nature - a nature that seems to cling to them easily as they tend to find their lives easiest on the periphery of civilization and nature, dark woods or deep sewers, or decrepit ruins that no-one wonders to look into. I mean, people pay attention to wolves if they are in an area but rats? No, people would rather ignore them if the rats are willing to ignore them in turn - thus the wererats gather in the shadows in numbers unheard of... but why? Instinct: To thrive and grow on the periphery

• Strike from nowhere or vanish without a trace
• Transform to pass unnoticed as beast or man
• Beckon forth more rats or fellow wererats from the shadows
