Considered rather dirty and unclean, the Ratfolk are small humanoids who look like rats, though they shouldn’t be compared to wererats by any means. The stories say how they escaped enslavement and became a more nomadic-like race.
Ratfolk have little sense of privacy and sharing things come naturally to them, often to a point where they look like they’re constantly borrowing or even stealing. They hate wererats and find other small races to be a nuisance at the very least.
They are group-oriented creatures with large families and tend to live such a life, though those who rise above such ways are the ones that get their name known. Names like Amzig, Stavdok the Wise, Sesesh, Ciggam, and Zraz the Mighty.

- Rat Damon
Ratfolk are rat-like humanoids, unkempt and far from clean, who live in large societies and groups and have little sense of personal space or ownership. While other races expect trickery, they act professionally, especially when trading, and they are known to be very brave in dire circumstances where avenging fallen comrades is an unwritten law. The ones who manage to adapt to other cultures can find prosperity in the world and certainly succeed in the game of life. Think about where the Ratfolk character was born, where they lived, why they left their people, and come up with a name worthy of magnificent things they will certainly come across upon.
