Living in the hidden places near busy alleys and under basements, the presence of a rat king can be felt by those around as plague and sickness spread while food stores go missing.
The visage of a rat king is a sight to behold; a swirling amalgamation of rats coalesce into the form of a giant rat – varying in size from 8 to 20 feet in height; a glowing greenish energy holding the creatures together, alighting its "mouth" and "eyes", and oozing from each crack in undulating body. Its voice booms while the individuals chitter along, creating a haunting and creepy soundscape.
Rat kings are held together by magic, creating a single entity. As they are damaged, they may simply shed individuals, who, broken from the spell, may react aggressively. Rat kings will, without hesitation, attack any threat in their lair, taunting and cackling the entire time.
