Rat, Giant
From OSE SRD
Multitudinous, disease-ridden rodents that will eat anything. Avoid contact with humans, but may attack if defending their nest or if summoned and commanded by magic (e.g. see Wererat). Giant Rats are 3’ long (or larger), with black or grey fur. Often live in dark, dungeon areas and close to undead monsters.
