The lowliest and most numerous of celestial beings, rat demons exist to fulfill the most menial tasks the Celestial Bureaucracy can muster. Where other demons protect treasures or raid villages, rat demons tend to be little more than thugs and base laborers for more powerful beings. Often summoned for their ability to sense hidden objects and to track living targets, rat demons' ravenous hunger and ability to eat just about anything makes them both highly useful and easy to control, making them perfect for unscrupulous sorcerers looking for servants who will do the jobs that no mortal would ever want to do.

Far from weak, however, rat demons' strength lies in their numbers and their complete willingness to do anything to sate their desires. While they are fierce fighters when cornered, a truly helpless rat demon will make any offer it can to avoid being killed. When encountered in groups, the typically cowardly and dim-witted rat demons can be surprisingly brutal and cunning, and not a few warriors have found a humbling end at the enthusiastic teeth and claws of these "lowly" demons.
