Ratfolk

Ratfolk are humanoid rats. they have rat-like heads with large ears, long snouts, whispers, and large, strong teeth. Their bodies are covered in short fur but are otherwise human in form.
Ratfolk communities can be found in and around large urban areas. These communities tend to be eclectic and diverse, with those of ratfolk ancestry welcoming others to join them with open arms. Their communities collect not only members but virtually anything they can find, with members often patrolling the cities in which they live and bringing back piles of junk to repurpose. To outsiders, ratfolk communities often resemble piles of trash, but ratfolk tend to find the clutter comforting.Despite the refuse and garbage they collect, the ratfolk community members themselves are as clean as any other citizens of the city.
