	Ah, the '''Giant Rat''' (also called '''[[Dire Animal\|Dire Rat]]'''): that most humble of beginner's level [[monster]]s, the traditional beastie you face when you're a 1st level jobber and worried that [[kobold]]s and [[goblin]]s are out of your league. As their name implies, these are humble household rats bloated to unusual sizes - typically around the size of a dog - without any special powers beyond an increase in biting and clawing power. Arguably popularized by [[Dungeons & Dragons]], they are favorites of beginner DMs because they offer simple, easy-to-use enemies that won't require a greatly complex battle plan to oppose, are weak enough to face off against level 1 PCs, and come with an incredibly usable basic plot hook. After all, if you're a humble tavern-keep whose basement has been overrun by rats the size of Great Danes, would you rather face them yourself or offer the rookie [[adventurer]]s in your common room a couple of gold pieces to stick them for you?

	That said, giant rats aren't always so humble. Nastier versions do abound, and can catch you off-guard if you're unprepared - even the addition of disease to their attacks can wreck a careless PC at low levels.

	In the [[Warhammer Fantasy]] universe, [[Skaven]] often fight alongside giant rats specially grown to massive stature by the treatments of [[Clan Moulder]], and they are considered the oldest and most reliable of that clan's [[fleshcrafting\|fleshcrafted]] monstrosities. Many of them are further mutated for extra lethality, exhibiting features such as extra limbs/tails/heads, sharp claws, or spiny backs. Especially creative Master Moulders may even add grafted maces to their tails or exposed ribs that can be used as stabbing weapons, among more horrific "improvements".
