Wererat

the Scourge of Gonthram

Cunning, deceptive, and ruthless, wererats are the one Lycanthrope subspecies that thrived in populations centers. While other Lycanthrope worry about the divide between natural and infected, the wererats could not care less. These little creatures prefer to live in their hybrid form when in their own domain. They using their Human form to move about their city freely. Exposer to moonlight, for the untrained wererat, causing them to involuntarily become a full rat, as such most wererats remain in their lairs and the sewer tunnels at night. The rumors across Gonthram streets are that no real rats lived in the nation. All rats are to be avoided in fear of being noticed, and targeted the wererats gangs.

Wererat gangs infest the sewers of Gonthram's larger cities, controlling that cities underworld of crime. As the thugs or criminals raise through the ranks of the gangs they can come to the attention of the wererats. This gives them the opportunity to become a wererat themselves, reach the highest levels of organized crime in the city. As 'made men', these wererats hold immense power in their clan and have little fear. The Gonthram wererats are very careful about keeping their presence secret and power level unseen. The harsh Gonthra militias and military have swept through sewers and wiped-out populations of over ambitious wererat gangs in the past.

Few wererats survive outside of Gonthram. Most of these move to large cities across the globe to establish a thief's guild in a new territory. They find it a struggle to survive, as established city gangs and guilds are ready and willing to put aside rivalries to crush the new threat, especially of the wererat kind. While the greater population of a city are oblivious to the existence of these vile creatures, the street level life is well aware of them, through rumors and encounters, and ready to fight the threat to their society.
