Lab Rats

A type of Small Monster that resemble child-sized Humans with rat-like features, including a tail, ears, paws, whiskers, sensitive, wiggly noses, and a tendency to have buck teeth, their furry feet, ears, and forelimbs come in a variety of shades. Known for their chaotic nature, high intellects, inventiveness, ingenuity, ability to cooperate on creative projects and swarming combat, and especially for their carelessness in pursuit of their inventions and experiments and the often destructive accidents that result. Lab Rats are not immune to the disasters they produce; only their high rate of reproduction has allowed the species to survive its own obsessive pursuit of SCIENCE.
== Subspecies ==
* Street Rats: This subrace can be often found creating, employing, and peddling a wide variety of experimental drugs and substances of their own creation on the surface in most urban environments that tolerate Monsters. As adults these Monsters are usually more interested in profit and personal indulgence than furthering science, but love both nonetheless. They tend to begin life with behavior more akin to that of human children, particularly those who must live on the streets by their own means, and often have rather positive interactions with such children. They have a well-deserved reputation for thievery even at this stage, however, and often target their childhood friends and benefactors with their concoctions in adulthood... which often doesn't take them long to reach.
* Wharf Rats: A more upright subrace, Wharf Rats tend to linger near ports, docks, shorelines, and waterways where they can employ their often disproportional strength by loading and unloading ships or laboring in warehouses. They are known for being hard workers, if prone to indulgence with their compensation. They are sometimes seen as difficult competition for human workers.
* Mall Rats: Among the least notable of the family, Mall Rats are skilled at socializing and work exceptionally well together but have little in the way of distinguishing skills or abilities. Instead, they make up for their lack of strength, alchemic skill, or elemental affinities with numbers and coordination, as well as a physical appeal; they are among the most physically attractive of the Lab Rat family.
* Rink Rats: A subrace adapted to the cold, Rink Rats possess minor elemental abilities related to cold and ice that allow them to freeze most water on contact if they so choose, allowing them to slide and skate across. They are known for their skill at doing so, and more broadly at dancing in general, being quite graceful and athletic. They are among the most playful of the Lab Rat family.
