Known Abilities

Superbly adapted to urban environments, the giant rodent is a cunning opportunist and flexible survivor. It is a surprisingly tough opponent, attacking with claws and teeth. It has a scavenger diet, breathes air, and can see in the dark.

Attribute Modifications

The giant rodent grants its consort a very large bonus to intelligence, a large bonus to dexterity, and moderate bonuses to willpower and perception.
