Pig rat

Pig rats, found on the West Coast, can best be described as being in between the small giant rat and the mole rat. These rodents are reminiscent of both rats and pigs. Being fast, but weak, the creatures don't pose a real threat, though in a group with their cousins, mole rats and giant rats, they could be quite dangerous.

Background
The Mutated pig rats are much tougher than standard ones. They have a lot of Action Points. A low-level character should be on caution.

Biology
Mutated mole rats are visually like the normal mole rats. However, they have received larger amounts of radiation, as they can radiate and poison The Chosen one while attacking.

Locations

 * Redding: Outside the Great Wanamingo Mine.
 * Modoc: Some of the mole rats in Farrel's garden are the mutated variant.
 * Military base: On levels 1 and 3. Mechlior spawns them in level 4, if the players gives him time.
 * On random encounters.
