A gigantic rodent found underground.

Giant rats are the large versions of normal vermin rats. They sometimes steal your food and booze and can be used as mounts by goblin siegers. Giant rats are not dangerous in combat, and can easily be killed by some random peasant. They also can be found in caves or caverns.
