RAT KING

"You are not the hero. You are the infestation." Lore A handful of rats has found warmth in the forgotten tunnels beneath a human city. There is food nearby, water, and darkness. You do not control just one rat; you control the hunger, instinct, and collective will of the entire colony. Expand, breed, feed, dig, raid, mutate, and eventually give birth to a Queen capable of producing an army. But the humans are not blind. Every raid leaves evidence, every tunnel creates noise, and every dead human brings soldiers closer. When the city finally discovers what lives beneath it, you must already be too numerous to kill.
