Giant Rat
Level 1 · Mudbury, The MeadowsDrops rat tails, the first income. In Mudbury five walk the streets, the poor quarter and the sewers, but never enter a house
Each region keeps a fixed set. They wander now and then, never mid-fight and never out of their region, and respawn on a random square after a timer; the Wolf Matriarch never leaves her den. You see them only when your Perception beats their hide level, and an aggressive monster that arrives on your square attacks. Every kind carries a type (animal, monster or humanoid, a start rather than a final list), and every kind you meet is written into your own Monsterpedia, Mudbury’s people included.
