Half man, half rat. Ratmen live in Template:Ls in packs.

One of the things that makes them unique is that they have innate Template:L, and thus drowning them is ineffective. However, they pose little enough threat to even untrained Template:Ls (unless they are in a pack), so such elaborate methods are unnecessary.

They can lurk in their chasm for a year and then attack your Template:L along with other monsters if their chasm is open to the ground. However, if they are in an enclosed chasm or Template:L, the easiest strategy is to simply wait for them to die of old age - given their short life span and the fact that they do not reproduce, any chasm's population of ratmen will be dead within several years of Template:Ling.
