DASHER SNOBEEDLE

The youngest son of BLOSSOM SNOBEEDLE, Dasher disappeared about 6 months ago in WATERDEEP. He has been infected with lycanthropy and now runs with a wererat gang known as the Shard Shunners.
He can often be found in THE HALF-WELCOME hostel in the Dock Ward of the city. Newly inducted to the gang and having gained a significant level of strength very quickly, many of its members know him by name - they won't willingly "rat" him out though!

Keen Smell. The wererat has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.

Shapechanger. The wererat can use its action to polymorph into a rat-humanoid hybrid or into a giant rat, or back into its true form, which is humanoid. Its statistics, other than its size, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
