Ecology
Ratfolk is a sentient species with its own culture, settlements, and political structure. It is most often found in ruins regions. It is small-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Ratfolk is driven by culture, faction, and personal motive; can be reasoned with, bribed, or betrayed. Its Neutral alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is intelligent enough to plan, scheme, or remember.
Origin
Ratfolk is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
