Not all wererats simply huddle in the dark, gnawing on crumbs. Whether through innate ability or serendipitous discovery, some few of them learn to access the arcane powers around them. Other wererats often realize that safety lies in both numbers and power, and thus the mages rise to positions of leadership within their clans. Instinct: Protect its wererat clan

• Call upon arcane power
• Call upon natural decay in the sewers

• Draw power from decaying life

These appear to be trees, but are not truly so.

The witch doctors have the unique ability to create servants called gargantua--corpses infused with so much magic that they transform into powerful giants. But the dead are mindless creatures.

The witch doctors use magically imbued mojos to enhance their power and strengthen their hold over the risen dead. Instinct: To serve

• Smash whatever is ordered
• Push forward relentlessly
• Draw strength from a mojo

Small and stealthy elemental, Mud Mephit is a night creature as direct sunlight dries them up so they may not move.

Instinct: To trap, to dissolve.

• In small groups, they trap their prey (if medium or larger, more than one Mephit at a time) in the ground and slowly dissolve them.
• Mud Breath: When a Mud Mephit belches at a small or medium creature (even with their Last Breath), that creature must defy danger + DEX. If it fails, it is restrained for one minute.
