Attacks/Defenses: Bite: 1d3. This bite attack injects Intensity: 2 poison - Save vs. Poison negates this, as always. On a Critical Success, the victim must make a Save vs. System Shock or contract Red Pox.

Disease: Anyone bitten by a Roach Rat or who comes in prolonged contact with these beasts must make a Save vs. System Shock or contract a Localized Infection.

Immunities: Poisons and radiation, immune to all non-supernatural diseases.

Plague Spreader: Roach Rats may carry other random diseases with them as well - they can transmit any disease that they have been exposed to in the last week.

Description: These little beasts are truly terrible creatures - the foul results of a genetic experiment to produce a durable creature that can live off of waste. Roach Rats feed upon garbage, sewage, and everything else equally disgusting. They actually avoid fresh meals and will only attack if their territory is threatened. Unfortunately, they are aggressive and attack in swarms. Their droppings can contaminate 10 pounds of food and or 100 gallons of water, thus they often leave communities starving and dying without ever directly attacking them. Nothing in nature will eat them, though some Undead may hunt them for sport

Roach Rats look like a filthy cross between roach and rat that results in a large, furry insect with feelers and whiskers.
