| Special Powers | Ratels are very tough. They have strong claws, sharp teeth, rough tongues, and a powerful musk gland. They are hunters and warriors, and they do not take penalties for called shots at vulnerable spots on victims. They are good with tools and weapons, and they tend to be incredibly persistent. |
| Weaknesses | A precision strike can take them down. |
| Culture | Ratels are rough, tough warriors, living in bonded pairs or alone, toughing it out in the worst lands on Shem--the worse the better for them. They take immense pride in their own toughness and refuse to let any challenge go unaccepted. They use holes in the ground as homes, moving often, always looking for a fight. |
