Uplifted Rat

The most numerous of uplifted animals, rats live in huge communal nests. They breed so quickly that overpopulation is a constant concern, but this is balanced by their ability to live nearly anywhere not lethally irradiated. Rats were originally named after famous composers (Bach 91, Mozart 44, Vivaldi 67).
