A rare and horrible disease exists in the distant corners of the world: Turb Mortu. Infecting its victim's brains¸ it enslaves them to an insidious and aggressive hive mind. Forever seeking to expand its influence¸ the disease sends its slaves out into the world to spread their sickness.
Born from the rodent strain of the Turb Mortu disease¸ the Plague Rat is one such victim. While the humble qualities of the rat might make it seem like one of the weaker agents of the disease¸ the Plague Rat's ability to quickly infect large numbers make it a potent and hard to quash foe. One Plague Rat isn't intimidating. A thousand gnawing at your door¸ though? Even the bravest warriors might tremble at the spectacle.
