Giant Rat
An oversized rodent too big to hide in the usual cracks, but its bite carries a creeping plague that lingers long after the fight.
Giant rats are enormous versions of the common vermin. They are typically found in abundant numbers, but since they cannot fit in the nooks where mundane rats typically hide, they are much easier to locate and exterminate.
