Rat Catcher

## *The Vermin Slayer*

*Rat Catchers are expert hunters and killers of rats and other vermin. They can lure swarms of rats into their traps, and know how to seek out and kill vermin of all kinds. Rats, giant rats, Skrell, and other horrors all teem in the sewers of the major cities, and the Rat Catchers wage a constant, unseen war with them.*
